“The hoof is growing slowly and not uniformly so it has a long way to go before it is acceptably strong and functional,” said Dr. Richardson.

Thank God.

I just watched "Dreamer; Inspired By A True Story" this past weekend and kept thinking of Barbaro throughout.

I hope he makes it.

"Due to Barbaro’s continued improvement, the University will now be posting updates biweekly. The next update will be posted on Tuesday, November 7, unless there is a significant change in Barbaro’s condition."

“The foot will require meticulous care for a long time and setbacks here and there are probable.”

Thanks for the good report, gate2wire. Five months in intensive care. Phew!

Anyone here understand how hooves grow back after laminitis?

More prayers for everyone's favorite horse. Go, Barbaro, Go!

OK, we "need more cowbell" in the front part of that left hoof! Grow more, thin part, grow more! Grow faster, thin part, grow faster!

Go Barbaro Go!

And another one for the silent, in-between-updates week:

Go Barbaro Go!

(That would be "one to grow on," for sure!)
