Poor Barbaro is gone, and it's hard to think of all that dear champion suffered, but....perhaps something, some extra knowledge or insight... will have been achieved which will help other severely injured horses....from his treatment the last months.
Heartbroken. He was quite a horse...such a big heart and a true champion in every way.
I'm reading the stories now (I just got up). I am truly sad. He had made so much progress and there had been talk a month ago that he might be released from the hospital.
I read on the thread that the vet said something about good takes a long time, but bad develops in a hurry. That is true about so many things.
Much of my sorrow is also for the owners and caretakers.
