HRTV presents Inside Information - Barbaro

i read something on a website that said he was getting much better until he had an absses on one of his legs near the hoof and that's why they put him down...i thought that they would have wnted to wait and see if it healed then he would be alive today. (an opinion(

Great video, thanks for posting. A good look at what was going on medically with America's horse during his long fight for life.

I love the pictures of him eating grass, like it's the best thing in the world. He was an amazing creature in so many ways.

We miss you boy.............

OK, this was one heck of a horse and I truly admire what he achieved during his (far too) short life, but I have to ask, who would want a horse to end up a cripple?? Especially THIS horse?? Had been mine I would have ended it the day of his accident, I know I will be flamed for this, and ALL credit to his owners for trying so hard for him, but at the end of the day was it really worth it?? I KNOW he was comfortable etc, but..... JUST my ever so humble opionion is all OK???

What made him so special was that "will to live!"

WAT?? Do you even know about horses?

I would have to say out of all the race horses, his death was taken the hardest. He wasn't just any horse, he was the Nations horse.

Nobody will ever forget Barbaro, he will be in legacy and join Man O' War and Secretariat in history, undefeated but his last ever race. RIP Barbaro, I would double the pain and take it as my own if it would save you. RIP big boy

i cried he was a great horse i think why most race horses die is that the owner trans them to early so their bones are steel week rip to barbaro best race horse EVER!!!

I have Barbaro on my desk pad . . . .I watched the memorial on TV and cried with a tear and a smile . . .Thank you for giving me a chance to love Barbaro, Prado and The Jackson's and of course Penn and Dr Richardson
