Hey, I sent him an email. Don’t make me feel like a complete fool! 
The Today show had an interview with Dr. Richardson from Barabro’s stall (taken from yesterday?). He looked great! They showed the cast, Dr. R moved him around the stall, and the interviewer fed him carrots. The Dr. was really smiling and seemed well pleased with things to date
Matt Lauer said they’d have some stuff on the show’s MSNBC site.
Heard a blurb on NPR this morning, Dr. Richardson joking about how he’s a bit upset about the email thing “because they don’t have a keyboard set up in the stall yet”
heh.
As those of us who own 'em can tell you, EVERY TB on stall rest expects to have his e-mails read out loud to him one by one. Preferably by a nurse who has karotten in the other hand.
While the cable and T3 line are being installed.
I caught the short video on The Today Show… Barbaro sure looks like he is moving well with the RH all things considered
I noticed a shaved area and maybe a bandage or sutures or I_couldn’t_tell by his right hip. Any idea what hat might be? Maybe the “epidural” site?
I can’t find the video of him in his stall from the Today Show. But I did see the interview wirh Matz from yesterday. Heartbreaking.
nice article in NYTimes today

I think they explained (for the layman)things pretty well
The hip suture is from a piece of his pelvis they had to take and use in the reconstruction surgery.
www.bloodhorse.com has some really good articles covering that.
Just wanted to let you guys know that the video of him in his stall is up on msnbc. Just finished watching it, he looks good!! Heres the link.
Ugh - waterworks again. He does look pretty good considering. Poor baby.
In case you haven’t already cried…
Very nice tribute video.
A news reporter’s visit with Barbaro Tuesday
VIDEO NBC10 Philly Tuesday Visit by Jade McCarthy to Barbaro
It is pretty quick and with those pinned ears I don’t think he’s too keen on Ms. McCarthy 
can someone post the link to the MIchael Matz interview. I’d love to see that.
Interesting… VID do you remember which article in specific? I’ve already read alot of what The Bloodhorse has had to say and dont remember seeing this…
Thanks for posting the link. You can hear the emotion in the Jackson’s.I am so greatful they gave him a chance.He looks good.
Awesome video of him in his stall- I was waiting to see one of those! Just gotta make sure that all the other newscasters don’t try to flood the stall and kiss him without asking :winkgrin:
He’s one stoned horse :yes: But that’s for his own good.
From UPenn’s website and the transcript of the press conference:
This is Stephanie Church at “The Horse.” Please go ahead.
Stephanie Church: Dr. Richardson. What are you doing to try and prevent laminitis in the opposite limb? Is Barbaro wearing any special support shoes on the unaffected limb?
Dean Richardson: Horses have problems - we mentioned this previously. Horses do have problems with breaking down in the opposite foot, the foot that’s bearing the most weight. As long as he’s comfortable this is less likely to occur. In terms of what is being done to help prevent this, when he came in his racing shoes were removed altogether and he is - his left hind foot was shod with a special glue-on shoe that had special padding. It also raises his foot up a little bit so that his limb length is equivalent to the cast limb on the right hind. So he has a special shoe in place.
I’ve been sneaking peeks at work
I can’t help myself. I keep up to date and then call my best friend in Colorado to keep her up to date.
Video montage made me teary…
Pictures of him in his glory make me teary…
Seeing the Jacksons getting choked up over wanting to see little Barbaros around makes me teary…
Does someone have a case of tissues they could send me??
I know this is bad, but I think it is hilarious when Ms. Mccarty kisses Barbaro’s head and he pins his ears even more! Just when you think those ears couldn’t go back any further, he cranks 'em back even more! It just makes me laugh.
See if this will work:

If not, it’s on the top ten video highlights page on msn.
