This is sad. I am very sad now. Everyone say prayers for him and hope that he pulls through.
Fight Barbaro like the fighter we all know that you are! We all want you to get better.

Question: is this in the injured leg or the non-injured leg?

I ask because someone had mentioned infection in the noninjured leg as well.

The laminitis is in the "good" leg, probably because its had to bear more than its share of normal weight, even with the special cushion/shoe they've rigged to help him.
Man oh man. I guess the one thing I'm grateful for is that everyone has Barbaro's best interests at heart. No matter what happens, after all this, I don't think I will ever, ever be able to watch that Preakness replay again.

Richardson says recovery, if it were to happen, would take 5-6 months at the VERY LEAST.
He says they'll call it quits when Barbaro acts like he doesn't want to stand on the leg. The decision to put him down could happen rapidly, within a day or two of bad signs, but right now, the horse looks bright and is eating well.

The last thing he said was "if you looked at this horse, it would be very hard to put him down" and he got up, ending the press conference.
It's a very sad day.....

If anyone else noticed the Doc nearly broke up at the end when he abruptly called an end to the news conferance. Emphasised the strong will of the horse is the nbest part about this horse.

Sad to say, but I think Barbaro is not going to make it. Boy I hope he does, but the chances are very very slim.

Terrible news.
 My only hope for Barbaro is that he's such a fighter and seems to know everyone is trying to help him. If any horse can pull through this, it's him.. Saying that, all prayers and well wishes couldn't hurt.

We all hope this gallant horse pulls through ... but the poster who opined that the horse is not going to make it has every right to do so ... and is probably correct. Last edited by ateamstupid : 07-13-2006 at 11:01 AM.
