Vb I do not know how you do it? Thank god you do, you are so up to date on everything you should have been an investigating reporter! Thanks for all the info…Just lit another candle…
Great news! I just lit another candle too. 
I have several burning too. Thanks be to all of the Horse Gods.
There is something to be said about batting a thousand.
We have slightly over 1,000 candles lit for Barbaro.
He is batting a thousand, and doing a damn fine job of it!
We need to keep those candles blazing for Barbaro!
Kennett Florist’s Update:
Update 321: Our friends from Kennett Florist visited New Bolton Center again today, they had this to report:
Well, NBC is on a high today… Good news about Bobby and the sugar high we supplied today. For Breakfast, the staff was treated to gooey cinnamon buns and all different kinds of muffins, juice and coffee. The cinnamon buns were gone in minutes! They were still raving about those when we went back in the afternoon. Thanks to Jack and Andrea and everyone at the Barocho Cattle Company, in FL – as always breakfast was a huge hit!
This afternoon, thanks to Christine in NY and Karen in TN, we brought up all of the makings for a fabulous sundae bar. They devoured gallons of ice cream, hot fudge, carmel, whipped cream, and all sorts of toppings… we even brought root beer for floats. It was gone so fast, the ice cream didn’t have time to melt! The staff are so very thankful to all of you and want us to extend their thanks to you all. Of course, we may have to have Lean Cuise Day next week!
We are going to start sending some of the baskets next week, on days that Bobby and the staff don’t have anything going, from the donations that have been coming in the mail. Thank you again to all of you for letting us be a part of this wonderful family.
Thanks VB! You are the best for keeping us updated! I rarely post but I ALWAYS check this thread. Now new hoof growth has brought me to tears :yes:
Go Bobby Go!
Thanks Alex/Tim~
Update 322: Just spoke to Peter Brette, who visited Barbaro today, this afternoon. Bobby remains comfortable, a nice end to our visit updates this week.
Things have been good this week, but I think we need to gently remind ourselves there is a long road ahead. I am so relieved of the news we have heard, but I also remember how physically sick I felt after the news conference of only two weeks (and a day) ago. Lets hope Bobby continues his slow progress.
Michael is on his way to Saratoga and therefore won’t be at Fair Hill tomorrow morning. Peter said he will ask Michael if he can leave him a message as soon as he hears from Dean, Peter will then let me know. The point being, tomorrow’s update in the morning may be a little later. Later or not, lets hope it is consistent with everything we have heard lately!
Finally, more Bobby pictures, some lovely ones: Barbaro @ Fair Hill and Barbaro arrives at the Preakness. These are photos from Michael Bryant (Philadelphia Inquirer). Visiting these links does not expose you to his Preakness pictures.
Link?
AWESOME1 but, is there a link to this article? I will send it to all my friends whoprayed that night :yes: !and teil the kidzzone childrens’ ministry, at Truro :lol:
I hear ya! We’re not home free yet. But we all just saw a teeny-tiny glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. We should all get five minutes to celebrate before we go back to chewing our fingernails.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I just lit another candle for Barbaro and wish I could wave a majic wand over him and fix everything. He is so special – thanks so much for the heartwarming updates that I always check first thing every AM and through the day and last thing at night.
We love you Barbaro!!

Sweet Talker?
Sweet Talker What is her breeding?
I was thinking about bracelet, what colors, for Barbaro. Three or four colors, blue, white and green, each color of bracelet and another one blue/white/green strips in one color of bracelet. I tried for this :yes:
Hope company offer if yes, accept colors in one bracelet
I may be the one that started the 3 Chimneys rumor
First of all thanks VB for the qualification on the merchandise. I had read somewhere that the Jacksons had made someone at Cafe Express stop selling Barbaro merchandise and just didn’t want to cause them any more grief. As we know everyone pays attention to this thread :D.
Second, I could have possibly started that rumor about 3 Chimneys from wishful thinking. AnnikaK wrote in early on this thread that she would like to meet Barbaro and I replied that perhaps he would stand at 3 Chimneys and we could go together to see him when we were both at Rolex :yes: (she is responsible for my having my wonderful ottb Bob). Since I already have reservations to visit Smarty and Dynaformer next year it was purely wishful thinking :winkgrin:.
And third, Go Bobby!!! No INFECTION!!! From someone that has battled infection from a cat bite since early April the no infection just made my day :D.
I will go light another candle.
VB, many thanks again for the great updates. I’m also thankful to COTH for numbering each post so I can easily track where I left off reading. This should be post # 1504.
Off to light a couple of candles for Bobby. Every time I come to check this thread (abut 4-8 times/day), I go and light a couple of candles for him.
Well, while I love the folks at Three Chimneys, I personally would rather see Bobby at another lovely Central Kentucky farm that’s close to my heart. But I’ll leave those wishes for when it’s determined he will be able to stand stud! :yes:
And yes, go Bobby! Keep it up, big guy. 
Now batting 1111 - let’s keep 'em going!!
what a wonderful update!
What wonderful news to see that all of our praying and good wishes for Barbaro are getting answered.
VB, how can we thank you for your tireless work keeping everyone up to date with the latest and including all of the links to help us know all those in the Barbaro family? I come here several times a day with my fingers crossed hoping for a good update. What an amazing horse that has touched the lives of so many.
GO BARBARO!!!
To my Barbaro Team members:
While each of you all make me cry all by yourselves, I love this horse, his determination and his spirit.
He makes so many things seem small in his huge fight to live and to beat the odds.
How can you NOT be his cheerleader???
I consider it an honor to be able to be a part of his life every day, and to will him to heal.
WE BELIEVE!!!
WE BELIEVE!!!
WE BELIEVE!!!
And I would rather see Bobby where I could see Bobby. :yes: If they take him to KY I never will. 
Oh well, as long as he’s happy and livin’ large.
I’ll be there and will post when I get home. I have a friend on the ESPN crew so I may get some info there too.
I posted some observations from today at Saratoga on Glimmerglass’ “Saratoga” thread, but failed to mention seeing Funny Cide gallop on the pony track this am.
VB, thank you for your continued Barbaro updates.
