OK--thank you! I can just barely see, because it's really dark on my old monitor, whatever is partially under that catwalk, or whatever it is, that crosses the pool in the middle. Would that be the raft part?
How deep do you think the pool is? Gosh, when you think about what the docs have to go through with the surgery, then worrying about getting the new bandages and sutures wet - water has to be some kind of perfect chemical balance, I'm sure - then making sure the horse doesn't drown, but doesn't stand on the bottom, either - very intricate procedures all the way through, then more bandages to be put on.
And this is just Day One. But so cool that Barbaro was hungry and could eat, after anesthesia! Hurray!
wow,, what a ride.. Thanks for the pics.
Thanks. I was trying to visualize this pool. I would have tried to jog to my room to get away from all that stuff too:')
