I didn't see that specific report, but that has been my fear, too. *Now praying for Barbaro's mental health* Let's hope his good-sense attitude about getting well shall prevail! Patience, Bobby, patience!

""Just before Jackson left Barbaro yesterday, the exit door beside Barbaro's stall was opened for another horse, and Barbaro was obviously ready to go, too. He came to attention and moved swiftly toward the outdoor light.
When freedom didn't come, he let his irritation be known, bucking and slamming his good hooves and his bad one on his stall floor. Jackson says she was glad to be there to calm him, and talked soothingly to her horse.
"Hey," she says, leaning toward him. "Your breath smells really good, like peppermint."
Barbaro flexes his jaw in a pressure-releasing yawn.
"I take that to mean he's thinking it over," she says.""
