I remember how heartbroken I was when Mama Cass passed away. Now, that girl had a voice that I loved.

As soon as I saw his pic I remembered him. Very sad.

I liked Barney Miller. I remember the show when they all tried to cheer Fish up because he had to retire due to age. Now everybody that was on the force is older than Fish was then.

Animal passings here? Barbaro was euthanized. I was pulling for him.

Color, I read that about Barbaro, but I have not seen or heard what happened to him (I assume a boy horse). How was he hurt? I think it is so sad.

It was further complications after his breakdown at last year's Preakness. Vets believed he would not live without pain.

I love animals generally. Years ago I rode (English) -- and jumped. When you and the horse are in sync and working together and trust each other -- it's amazing.

This story absolutely broke my heart. I do hope that Barbaro is happy running over the Rainbow Bridge. I sure was wishing a recovery for him.

R.I.P. dear Barbaro.

Such heartbreaking news. I've been following Barbaro's story ever since the Preakness. There's a thread over on a figure skating board where they were following his progress all along. I have to share a beautiful post with you from there. Since I don't think it would be ethical to copy their post to here, I'll give you the link. HERE It talks of a place much like Rainbow Bridge.

Also, HERE is a great link to an article of Barbaro from birth to his final day.

Oh, it must be a member's only feature for that board (to view an individual post). OK, lets see if I can fix it.....


Try THIS link, and scroll down to Post# 499.

ETA: darn it, that asks for a login too.....(I logged out of that board to see if it could be viewed by a random person).

OK, I'll have to summarize her post:

She said that in Sweden, they say that when a horse dies, it goes to a place called Trapalanda, where there's endless rolling hills and fields of green grass, swift sparkling streams of clear water, and all kinds of horses running free without injuries, diseases or old age to hinder them.

The person posting went on to say how she'd like to think that's where Barbaro is now, frolicking on four healthy legs, right alongside Secretariat, Go For Wand, Alydar, Man O' War, and the likes.

Oh crap. I'm sitting here crying over Barbaro. I'm so sad, I was really pulling for him that he could retire to stud duty and live out his days peacefully.

Nightline covered Barbaro's story last night. They showed the clip of that awful day and the owner said that one of the reasons they fought so hard for him was because of his amazing behavior immediately following the injury.

The decision to put him down was because he developed the same hoof infection in two other legs and along with being in extreme pain, as the vet put it he "did not have a good leg to stand on." I was crying like a baby, especially when they showed the clips of the press conference. The vet had a very hard time staying composed but he did make a point of saying that Barbaro had some very good days.

It was also stated that Barbaro has no offspring.

Race horses cannot be propagated by artificial insemination to insure that the sire is who the foal owner says he is. Too much money involved in stud fees to leave it to chance that someone is cheating.

OG, thanks for that info. Why did I think AI was used because of the risk of injury during the natural process.

I assume that for financial reasons horse of that caliber would not be bred until after retirement.
