Hang in there Bobby!

My horse probably would have broke his other leg trying to get out of the stuff. He's a very high-strung eight year old. Yes, not many three year olds are like Barbaro. He is a charismatic champion through and through. This horse may just make it. I'm still hoping and praying for the best.
