If he is in agony, 100 of the best bred horses in the future are not worth it...

he is comfortable. absolutely that has been THE number one thing all along from the jacksons, that he not be in pain. it's why when they found the laminitis they chose to continue to treat him, rather than give up. barbaro has never given up, never been in pain, never been anything but bright, alert and happy. dr richardson assured them that he felt he could control the pain, and that has been the case.
they've said from the get go that they just want him to live, in comfort. breeding him would be the icing on the cake, but they just want the cake!
