I did all kinds of things to keep her interested and happy, like buying a bunch of varieties of hays and hanging them in nets all over her stall to encourage her to stand on her feet, despite the pain. I had a small tv outside her stall, and a radio, hell you do ANYTHING you can do when you love something so much... and if that means letting go, than you do that too. The people closest to this horse know his heart, and they know when he has had enough. It's nobody else's business to question their ethics or the extent of their love. I wish more owners were like the Jacksons, and my heart and prayers go out to them.

So right Larhage.
Words spoken from the heart.
Good thoughts for Barbaro. Seems that he's a long way from finding his way out of the woods, but if there's a path,I hope he finds it.
As I'm sure that those that love him do also.
