I am praying Barbaro recovers fully and can live out his life in green pastures.

There is a link to a report from today, if anyone is interested. He is donig very well. He even stood full weight on the leg to scratch his left ear with his left hind hoof...so hopefuly the laminitis fear won't come to reality as he can bear full weight on that leg.

I am so heartbroken about the poor guy. I did not see the race but I have been reading the news reports. I pray he survives and can live a life of luxury in a great pasture.
