Barbaro broke 3 bones in his lower right hing leg and dislocated the ankle in the region in the Preakness Stakes yesterday.
It was fairly gruesome. It made me want to go hug my dogs when I first saw it.

Same here!
Was he kicked or was it the footing, or don't they know?
I only have one, but I did exactly that, when I saw it. Our four-footed friends, how precious they are to us.
I hope and pray this beautiful animal continues to do well.
I used to work with thoroughbreds, at the track and at a rehab facility where we did pool therapy. We mostly had horses with bowed tendons, shin splints and stress fractures, never anything as bad as this. Reading the description of the injuries made me want to gag. I couldn't ever watch it anymore. Its wonderful that equine medicine come this far. First thing out of my sons mouth this morning was, "Mom, it looks like Barbaro will be o.k."
