I am usually not really that into sports news, but happened to see the title and had to read it. I was a horse owner most of my life so of course feel a deep love and connection to horses of all kinds.  I also had to put down my beloved horse that I owned 12 years so know how hard and heartbreaking it is to have to do it and what you will do to try to save them. I read this story and was glad there was so many details provided of what happened before and after...and how the owners struggled to keep the horse alive. It was very interesting and also somewhat inspiring. There is still good in this world. Thank you for this story and the how well it was written.  It touched my heart. I never knew Barbaro but I will forever now remember what he has done, who he was.
