Barbaro's tribulations have captured my heart, and I cut out and save every article in my local newspaper about his plight. I'm not sure why but I need to save them. Thank you for posting this article, as it offers an insightful perspective on his struggle and what it teaches us about resilency and determination. May he oversome his current setbacks and continue painlessly on the road to survival. His fortitude is enviable and illustrates what a true champion this horse is and will always be, no matter what the outcome.
