I'm sorry, though I find it very difficult to pray at any length for a horse.

[Lemondropkid31]

Then at least pray for his owners and his trainer and all the others that are around him.

[AnAmericanMother]

Aw, c'mon, why not?

St. Francis preached to the animals, and one of St. Anthony of Padua's miracles involved a horse kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament.

C'mon, grit your teeth and pray for the boy. Or ask St. Anthony to pray for him.

All God's creatures ... big and small. Barbaro's grit, courage and spirited nature have inspired many prayers for recovery, and rightly so. Ever had a pet you loved, who crawled inside your heart and added so much richness and delight to your life? If not, then you'll never understand why animal lovers wince when any one of them hurts or suffers, as we do for this great horse, Barbaro. Prayers for his recovery.

Genesis

God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good.
