He's doing great! Might get to leave New Bolton in the near future. Amazing.

I never knew this about Barbaro... but he has a white spot on his ankle? WHOA. King of the Wind, anyone? I think I've got goosebumps.

Seriously, goosebumps. How did I not know this about him? :P

That picture really confused me at first because his left hind hoof is the one that had to be cut away. I kept staring at the picture trying to figure out how that hoof looked any different from a normal one.

Then I realized that the picture is not a recent one, duh.

I just saw a video clip of Barbaro walking without bandages, just so awesome to see. It was on my DSL service homepage or else I'd link to it... however, it was from ABC news and it might be on their website.

B) Keep strong buddy!

A hitch in his giddy-up isn't doing it justice. It's a miracle the old boy is walking at all. What a great story.

That was so wonderful to watch- thanks for posting the link.

Thats HAS to show the emotional attachment from the owners!- if they could have collected 20mil if they let him go but have stuck in there through all this- its good to see that. makes ya feel warm and fuzzy for him :)
