Hearing any news about this stuff makes me nervous. If I didn't hear anything until October I'd be happy because that means he's further down the road from the stuff they are really worried about now.

This horse amazes me. Regardless of how you hold him in your esteem, I don't know how many other horses would have the will, the strength and the patience to tolerate this kind of recovery. This is almost the same injury Horation Nelson had, or at least it involves the same breaks. Amazing that Barbaro is still hanging tough. If ever there was a miracle horse...

Horatio Nelson had a compound fracture of his foreleg.
Barbaro's didn't break the skin, and it was his hind leg

Sorry, meant it involved a lot of the same bones (canon, sesamoid, dislocated fetlock). Didn't catch the leg difference. My apologies!
I do realize breaking the skin makes a difference, which was part of the point - a lot of strange "luck" (if you can call it that) and fortitude for him to make it this far.
