Barbaro Update

I think my wife looks at horses as sort of these noble, very physically strong humans that can be figured out and controlled. Unlike her human husband. Sorry for any sexist comments but this is kind of how I see it.[/quote]

HA HA! I actually laughed out loud at this.

And we should give credit to Matz and Barbaro's entire team of grooms, etc... that have made him the horse he is. So trusting of humans to take care of him. That isn't born in a horse. They are good people in my book.

Matz is a big part of it but the real credit goes to John Stephens and his wife Jill. Nobody really knows who they are but they were the ones that had him in Florida.

They are part of the "Barbaro team". I would include anyone who had a hand in raising this horse. They really did an amazing job with him.

They have a great setup just outside Ocala. I am hoping to get down there this September when they get the new batch of young horses in.

Do they let visitors in? My mom lives in Ocala. I am going up there in November.
