Get a life Two Simple
Guys, just ignore Two Simple. She knows very well what she is doing, and that is trolling. Every word is deliberately phrased to stir us up. Remember, don’t feed the trolls.
Are any of you willing to give us the quick synopsis of what happened to finally end this guy’s life today? I am sure that many of us are interested and so sad, but haven’t kept up with this whole thread. It would be nice if someone could do a 
summary for us.
PLEASE do NOT repond to Two Simple and give her the attention she so badly craves to wreck this thread of condolences. :no:
VirgninaBred, again, thank you, thank you, thank you for all the updates you brought so many of us for the past 8 months. Thank you for helping many of us keep believing that miracles can and do happen. The Jacksons, Dr. Richardson, Michael Matz, all the caretakers and well-wishers have all done the very best they could do for this brave horse. He will be remembered for years and years and years along with all the greats and not so greats.
I have lurked a lot. Thank you, VirginiaBred.
Why does it seem that it always happens to the great ones?
Gone too soon Barbaro. May you rest in peace. 
Look Two SImple, people on this thread have mostly come here, gathered here and stayed here to express thir thoughts and condolences. You don’t have to agree with them, but sometimes there comes a moment to exercise this strange thing you seem to have little familiarity with. It’s called “tact”. So even though you might heartily disagree, what say you dig deep down, summon some tact, and leave people alone to express their condolences in peace, mmkay? It’s just a nice thing to do and this seems like a fine time for some kindness, don’t you think?
And the rest of you making sniping comments back to Two Simple? Knock it off as well.

Update 1406: Busy here at New Bolton Center. The mood is obviously very somber among the staff. Jeannine Edwards did another “Outside the Lines” piece for ESPN at 3:20pm this afternoon. It was focused on Barbaro’s legacy. Thanks, Alex

Erin, make her go away like the spray painting lady. Fingers in ears, we can’t hear you TS. “Bless her heart”.(Southern for "some people just do NOT know how to behave)

I think an incredible amount of learning could be gained by veterinary and podiatry students. Many horse owners donate legs to research so that other horses can be helped or saved from knowledge gained. I myself learned a tremendous amount from examining cadaver legs from a poor mare that foundered and went to her eternal rest. Several of us learned a lot from that one little mare. I think much could be learned from Barbaro.[/QUOTE]
Yes, I am sure that is true but this isn’t the place or time to bring this up!
Run, Barbaro, run!
Godspeed.
RIP Barbaro. He leaves this world knowing that he was loved. I applaud the Jacksons for their dedication to him and hope they can find comfort in knowing that they always did their best for him.

That is too cool!!! Thank you for posting that War Admiral. Sometimes ignoring bad behavor is very hard, just skipping it all together is much easier.

Rest in Peace Bobby…may you never lose the look of the eagles…Go run with the greats! Go flirt with Pine Island and challenge Lost in the fog! They will be there to meet you!
I read this poem when I lost my beloved dog and best friend Cassie six years ago, I thought it said eveyrthing then, and it says everything now.
God saw you were getting tired
and it was not meant to be.
So he put his arms around you
and whispered “come to me”
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
hard working hooves put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
he only takes the best!
A million times we’ve needed you
and a million times we’ve cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
A heart of gold stopped beating;
Two fighting eyes closed to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
he only takes the best.

Your poem is worthy of Barbaro. Thanks for sharing it.

You’re welcome.
Barbaro is running pain free in heaven right now, perhaps with Secretariat…and giving Big Red a challenge! We will miss you, Barbaro.
So so sad. Many thanks again to VB for keeping us so well informed.
RIP Barbaro
Seems like he had a great support system on this board:)
