Defying All Odds, Barbaro Is on the Mend
"Dec. 21, 2006 — With each hesitant step, Barbaro, the 2006 Kentucky Derby winner who fractured his leg in the Preakness, is defying the odds.

In video released today, the bandages on his broken right hind leg were gone and he even appeared to be smiling for the camera. "

This is heart warming...especially for those of us horse lovers

Being a horse lover and having a horse loving daughter, ( actually an all animal loving daughter, but mostly HORSES) I just printed out the article on Barbaro so she can see how well he is doing. She will be pleased with his progress. Thanks DMC for posting this.

I've been watching the story closely. It always bothers me to see any animal hurt like that.

Barbaro is a trooper.
