Slaughter houses may be closed in the United States but this still hasn't stopped the turture the horses THAT ARE STILL BEING SOLD, tormented and abused as they are SENT out to other countries to slaughter. AND THEY ARE!!!! Please check into this as it is terrible! People find a horse to be a good meal. No they aren't the Donner Party from the 1800's. I know horses have a heart and soul. They are not meant to be abused in any way, shape or form!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502872387219876077.post-61448392741302214232008-01-29T18:16:00.000-08:002008-01-29T18:16:00.000-08:00Wonderful Article!!!

Finally, a year later, I am able to cry tears for all the Greatness Barbaro brought to horse Lovers everywhere. He brought so much to Horse Racing, Laminitis and of course the dreaded Slaughter Houses are all closed in the United States right now. <BR/><BR/>God Bless You Beautiful Barbaro-- You are Still Greatly Missed!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502872387219876077.post-57026081933820090592008-01-29T16:26:00.000-08:002008-01-29T16:26:00.000-08:00I was saddened to see more people not commenting o...I was saddened to see more people not commenting on such a proud soul that touched our lives for such a short time in this 'reality'. The sun is going down now. I feel Barbaro looking at all of us as he pins those ears, flares that nose as he runs those greener pastures, spins and does a quick stop to smile back at us. "Look at me. I will always remember all of you as you will remember me. Do not cry as I am a part of you who lives in your heart!"<BR/>Good night Barbaro.

That is why he was so special. You can tell by the twinkle in his eye as he watched us either through the camera or in person, Creator has a plan for all of us. I was blessed with Barbaro coming to life in my life through a 'family lithograph'. I do hope that people will learn and should know by now that these young horses bones aren't fully developed (especially in the knee's) as a 2 year old. There is no hurry...except when they race. I pray they will start racing these majestic beings at an older age. I will remember Barbaro as our strong, forcefull wind that blew through our lives too quickly. His mane blowing in the air and his jockey and trainers pride and gentle smiles. God Bless and be with the Jackson's during this time!

I had such positive emotions that he would be made whole again and I would be able to visit him one day. But that was not God's will for him, or for me. I will always love you my dearest Barbaro. You will always live in my heart.<BR/> <BR/>VickiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502872387219876077.post-31013787916652432232008-01-29T11:04:00.000-08:002008-01-29T11:04:00.000-08:00Wonderfully done.
