Isn't it a great idea for fund-raising - and a wonderful salute to a horse with a heart as big as ... well, I'd normally say "Texas" here, but you get the idea.
Many continued prayers and good wishes for Barbaro! And next time, I'll use my head and remember that Breyer doesn't have an "s" on the end, even if the horse magazine spells it that way!
I have a few Breyer horses and a Brahma bull, a Hereford cow, and my very favorite, a sacred White Buffalo. I think that one probably was issued when the Janesville, WI, white buffalo calf, Miracle, was born in 1994, but I'm not sure.
Miracle was why I bought the model one - although Miracle did not become a white adult bison, like my model is. She changed to all the colors of people - white, red, yellow, black, as predicted in Indian legend, and died at 10 years old, before we knew if she would have changed back to her original white.
Once again, way to go, Barbaro!
Thanks for the ping! We really need to pray for Barbaro's mind. He is getting frustrated about his confinement and he doesn't need to be getting upset. One good swift kick with his bad leg could really mess things up. So far he is doing pretty good. There was one article that was stating when he saw the sunshine and he could not get to it, he was banging his feet against the floor, including his bad one. Good think Gretchen was there to calm him down.
