:( I wish there were a crying emote.

Alden just told me this sad news and I had to come and check in here. So so sad. :(

Thats terrible!! I know how bad lamininitis can be.. my horse got a acute case of it from being cast in her stall.
Good Luck Barbaro!!

My prayers to Barbaro, just read it on the news and came in here to say my prayers for him. :(

I can't even imagine what this is all like for the people close to Barbaro and for Barbaro himself. :( It breaks my heart, yet inspires me...to see an animal fight so hard to stay alive.

This is my favorite video tribute to Barbaro. It shows all his races and what an amazing horse he is. I can't stop thinking about him. Lots of prayers going out to Bobby. He'll always be a champion to me no matter what..

Bobby hasn't given up yet, and I won't give up on him either.

This is so sad. In the article I read at noontime the Doctor said Barbaro's
chances were not good at all.They said " it's a long shot".

So, so sad. I have listened to the news reports today and it doesn't sound good.

Updated story, not looking good. :(

Here is a Transcript of the Press Conference for anyone who would like to know more details. Haven't heard any new news since the Press Conference. All the articles floating around out there right now are taken from this.

This is so sad. :( I'll pray for poor Barbaro. :(

What makes this even more tragic is that it's the good leg that's affected.
The break was actually getting better.
