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.

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.............

We miss you Barbaro. Thanks for sharing this video. I have also collected some great horse videos in my favorites list.

He is (was) the best of all !!!!!!!

People can cruelly judge all they want....but he would NEVER have gone to do stud duty. If you had seen his legs he would have never been able to cover a mare.

It was a blessing to see this horse race and know he existed. This I know for sure has help doctors help other horse's. He was a champion at the race track and in the veterinary world. Kudos to all the medical staff, who tried to save his life. He will never be forgotten, the horse with a lot of heart.

I finally caught this particular episode about Barbaro on HRTV just the other night. I really enjoyed it. I thought the segment that HRTV did about Barbaro's life and career was even more informative than the segment that HBO did on him a few years ago. This horse was mega-talented! If he had lived, and continued to race? I believe a Barbaro vs. Bernardini rivalry would've been one of the biggest rivalry's we would've seen in racing since the Sunday Silence vs. Easy Goer rivalry in 89'. TJMO.

i saw the race that awfull day and mr. prado did nothing wrong. you could see the concern on his face. the sadness was everywhere. he loved that horse.

To the person who said the jockey was "pushing the horse too hard": Do you know anything about racehorses/racing? BARBARO, even with that HORRIBLE injury, would've continued to run that race, no matter how bad the pain. Thankfully, Edgar knew this horse so well that he knew right away something wasn't right & he pulled up. If Edgar had been thinking of himself, he would've kept on racing the horse & not cared how badly hurt he was. Edgar LOVED Barbaro more than he wanted to win!

If you'll look at DR RICHARDSON's face & eyes throughout the interviews, you'll see that he wasn't getting much rest, which is evidence that he gave 110% to save this beautiful horse's life. I do believe that if anyone could've saved BARBARO, Dr. Richardson could have.
