This makes me so unbelievably sad. He had come so far, and I was really praying for miracles.
So, so sad.

I'm a little choked up about Barbaro, magnificent horse, great heart.
He's in horse heaven nickering at the ladies as I type this ...

~sigh~ They really did try. ...That all horses injured in our service had the care and love that he did.
Run free, Barbaro.
Ping!

Very sad news. He gave it his best effort.

Oh that hurt so bad to hear that news.
Barbaro you were my hero, your spirit will live on!

With an injury as catastrophic as Barbaro's it is virtually impossible to save the animal - the other legs break down under the strain of supporting all the weight. I never expected him to survive and I think it's a miracle that he made it as long as he did. I'm glad he is no longer suffering.
The main benefit to all this is the huge amount of research money New Bolton has received as a result of this high-profile case - they got a single 5 million donation from one anonymous donor, not to mention many other smaller donations which will help other horses in the future.

They did everything they could for the horse. When a horse gets a broken leg, it's almost always a death sentence. Hate to see it happen, though.
To: lunarbicep
I say it's about time. It's the only humane thing to do at this point.

So sad, but it's the right thing to do.
To: lunarbicep
So sad for the horse and horse racing world. His docs and owners/trainers were wonderful throughout this entire situation. God bless them, surely they are suffering but chose wisely not to allow him further suffering.

Oh, no! Incredibly sad. I was praying that Barbaro would survive, and be safe and secure in a nice pasture somewhere! Tears, here.

Hope Barbaro was starved to death like Terri Schaivo.
I hear that is a calm, peaceful, beautiful, serene way to die. Yep, that's what I heard.
