so sorry for the jacksons--much as we all feel it, just think how distraught they must be. and dr richardson as well. he'll tear himself up re-thinking this.
This is so true, I think it should be mentioned that Barbaro did not die in vain. His heroics off the track are going to be integral in saving future horses, that he lived 8 months with his injuries is testament to his heart, and now the learning experience of treating him will be applied to future horses. I know the hell of laminitis personally and loved Barbaro even more for his fight and will to live, and I'm also ready to accept his passing, he deserves the peace now. RIP Barbaro.
