i know that he is a very special horse and many want him to make it, but what if things start going wrong. i really hope he makes it, but i would hate for him to go through suffering just to keep him alive.

i am not trying to be negative, so please don't think i want him to die.
Believe me, Barbaro will let them know when he has had enough. I have been there recently with a horse that despite intense pain made it evident she was not giving up, she pulled through and is doing miraculously today. If Barbaro continues to eat and shows interest in his surroundings and treats, than believe me he is not giving up.... you know when it's time to throw in the towel in these situations.
