my candle is lit!
Mine is lit too!
I agree completely and Thoroughbred Retirement Fund and Thoroughbred Charities of America do focus on the Thoroughbreds, and TRF only takes horses that were raced. So you can choose, it’s all good.
Doesn’t Thoroughbred Charities of America pretty much cover all the other rescue/placement organizations for TBs? I can’t recall their link but I did glance at it at one point & the listof rescues they help fund looked pretty exhaustive. I did note for sure that CANTER and the Exceller Fund are on there.
One of B’s owners is on the board there, I think, so if we were to approach them to start a Barbaro Fund maybe it would be well received?
Edit: Just lit a candle from Avery BTW…
one candle and my candle warmer turned on in phoenix for bobby…
964 Candles have been lit for Barbaro.
Come on Team, we can light a lot more!!!

Don’t forget that there’s a Barbaro Fund at New Bolton. Not that we would steal the thunder from that, but maybe a different title for the fund would ease the way.
I mostly do my donating on the west coast, where I live, and my group does help ottbs when they show up, as well as anything equine. There’s no Canter on the left coast, but there is Pegasus and some other smaller (but 501.c) groups. Primarily, we try to keep them off slaughter trucks, but occasionally raise funds for medical expenses.
The need is always overwhelming, but I do know that any donation you can spare makes a difference. I can’t count the number of horses we’ve saved with $5, $10 and $20 donations.

Just lit one!
My candle is lit for Bobby!
Candle is lit…
thanks, VB- you truly make my day!
Lit my candle. Sandy
Mine is #988!
OK, am I the only one who cannot figure out how to light a candle? I have gone to the site, and see nothing but candles, and nothing on how to light one. Help! (I feel like a jerk too…I am the Web person for a big company!!!) :o
Edited to add: okay, like I said, I am a jerk. After two days, I just figured it out. But, somehow I’m candle #978. How is that possible when someone before me was 988? I’m so lost.

Just lit my candle for Barbaro…thanks so much VB for all that you are doing to keep those of us who love Barbaro up to date on his latest condition. I’m so glad that this week has gotten off to a better start…
I was #977 - getting close!
Just lit mine, making it 980 from 7 countries.
I lit mine! How cool is that? For anyone having trouble figuring it out,just click on an unlit candle and follow directions!
