Barbaro goes outdoors!

[irishtrekker]

Woo-hoo! It is a good sign. At least he's getting to enjoy himself a little.

Can Barbaro come out and play??

... and here's the Thoroughbred Times article on it, with a quote from Gretchen Jackson about Barbaro's reaction to being outdoors. I'm a such a sap- I got all teary-eyed...

How could you not though? Many a person left this horse for dead about a month ago, and why not...shattered leg, laminitis, the whole act. So many people called for him to be put down and out of his misery.

Yet, here he is, improving a bit every day, and looking healthier as time goes on. To this point he is proof of the existence of miracles and that sometimes when you put your head down and grind it out, facing darkness in the eye, you can see through to the bright side again. How could you not be even a little emotional? I KNOW I AM!

Here is the video. You have to watch a little commercial but Barbaro looks good and happy.
