THIS is sooooo heartbreaking! I don't watch horseracing now - I don't want to see horses destroy themselves attempting to win.......this happens too frequently. Secretariat was beloved (as was sweet & precious Barbaro - my heart breaks for his family!); I'm just glad Sec didn't breakdown on the track & raced healthy. Sec too suffered from Laminitis. This horrible disease must be eliminated!
@MarsvinsPaj In the second race of the Triple Crown, The Preakness Stakes, Barbaro broke down 200 yards into the race. He shattered his right hind leg. He probably mis-stepped and people blamed Brother Derek which was the horse behind him, claiming he stepped on Barbaro's foot. No one really knows. He died because of complications with Laminitis, not because of his leg.
My pony HAS laminitis. But she's got special shoes, and she cannot eat many sugar cubes, peppermints, and NO grass. A couple times a year she can wear a grazing muzzle and try to nibble the short, dead stuff in the summer, but that's it. She's 26 this April in excellent health and still had LOTS of energy. Barbaro is so cute!
He was a great horse and no, he isn't a legend like Secretariat. Anyone can see that. But he was a legend in many ways. He beats many horses because he captured the heart of a NATION. That is legendary. Smarty Jones captured the hearts of America, no other horse has ever come close to capturing the heart of a nation. That's Barbaro. He will never be a legend like Secretariat, but he is in everyones hearts. Secretariat was great, but Barbaro was too. He just didn't have enough time to prove it.
@horsecrazy11 Any horse or animal lover worth their salt would shed a tear for Barbaro. They look so strong and healthy, muscular and dominant. the thought of having to put him down, regardless of his athletic accomplishments, is the same as the depth of sorrow in your soul. Human or not, we always think of "what might have been". Rest in peace and say hello to Man O war and Secretariat when you meet them. I/m certain they'd enjoy your company.
@horsecrazy11 how old was sweet Barbaro whe he entered Preakness?. I've read we American start our racehorses too soon, before their legs are fully developed. I saw the 'Secretariat move' Barbaro used at the end of the race - He's a CLOSER! It's a shame he was injured! I MUST SAY, I saw a GLEAM of Secretariat in Barbaro's Kentucky Derby.......Couldn't THE OWNERS have waited a year? (No critisicm intended - I know they loved Barbaro)
@nin12dog Unfortunately the races of the Triple Crown are reserved for 3 year old horses. All race horses, regardless of the country, are started at 2 years old, which in my opinion is way too young. Barbaro broke down from a miss-step. I think he would have won the Triple Crown because he was undefeated before his break down. It's a tragic event and I think they should wait until they're at least 3 to start racing, but they're at their best in their prime. Barbaro was very loved =)
Nice video. Thanks for making it. They did the right thing for him though. Go figure, the people willing to try and fix a horse with SO many issues and he doesn't pull through. Poor guy.
he's like the horse i ride who also broke down very badly and survied it was a miracle barbaro was a great hero to all of us and always will be the video of him roaring down the stretch at churchill downs still gives me goose bumps he and ruffain would of been the greatest rip Barbaro and Ruffain ps: barbaro doesn't even know how much my ex racer i ride looks like him its uncanny good vid loved it everything i see of him makes me cry
I cant believe that one of the BEST race horses to come along in years broke his leg and developed that deadly lamintis.. I hope that when i am a vet i can find the cure to it. And then think back wow why couldnt we have figured this out back when the greatest race horse Barbaro was in trouble. He was a Legend, a Hero, and a Champion. Fortunatly his Flying Colors that he died in were Bay,White, Black and Pink. He loved to run and he had the raw talent for it. I swear all he wanted to do was run
This was an extremely touvhing and moving video. Goose bumps all over, i wasnt aware of this horse before this video, but now i will remember him forever.
Everday I think of how hard this horse fought and it reminds me I can fight too. This horse meant so much to me and my trainer I'll never forget himm<33
ahh. That wuz touching..."sniffs". By the way, I think I know why he alwayz won. Cuz his rider wuz Steve Ir-win! lol. Soz if it wuz offencive. I'm sad too...
Yes I love them all too!But my favs are Barbaaro,Ruffian,Secratariet,Seabiscut,Wae Admiral, and Man O War. But yes, I also live them all, they are all great!=)
I don't think you need to cry every day so that they know you still care; making videos like this is a much better way to show it I think. Besides, Barbaro wouldn't understand tears (being a horse), and Steve Irwin wouldn't want you to cry, he'd want you to go save a wallaby :)
haha. I know. But for some reason I cry no matter what I try. And I know he's a horse but they understand tears. My horse does. whenever I walk up to her crying she walks up to me and nudges me. and thats when I know everything is going to be ok. I try making videos of Steve Irwin, I just cant bring myself to it! Ill try. But I still cry
love and miss ya barbaro some people may call you a fail but so what he is a champ in my hart kuv ya
