Just to set the record straight, she isn't my mare. She is a lesson horse at the barn where I ride. Actually the first horse I rode out there. She is a very sweet mare. She is lucky everyone knows that. They caught it early. She only gives a lesson or two every other day. Jumping nothing bigger than 18 inches up to 2ft 3 inches. Most of her lessons are just walk/trot/ with some canter with no jumping, but sometimes she jumps. She really is a happy mare and is back to her hyper self (hyper only when being ridden, on the ground, she is a happy go lucky mare who loves attention.) They really don't overwork her. I know she is lucky to be alive, but she is thriving now so I am hoping the same will be said for Barbaro. Just trying to give a happy ending story so we can all keep our hopes up.

God Bless you Barbaro.
