gives all the horse-lovers on my flist a hug

While I don't normally follow the careers of race horses, I am an animal lover and have been following Barbaro's story thanks to

simplystars's updates.

I hate that they had to euthanize him after such a rocky roller coaster ride to save his life as well as attempting to make him more comfortable. If there is a heaven for animals, I imagine he's now running full tilt across its fields.
