Glad you find it amusing but you’ll have to ask the racing forum’s very own Glimmerglass since it was he who posted the following innuendo:

Thanks for the link, and I questioned her assertions, but I still want to see evidence for your conspiracy since that was your quote that I have above.

Matryoshka… I don’t understand why FOB brought Draft horses over At Risk Thoroughbreds… But hey… whatever works, any horse life saved is OK in my book…

I don’t know either, but it may have to do with there being a rescue (Equihab) who was willing to take them in. If they can’t find a place to put the horses, it’s hard to bail them out of a kill pen. We like drafts, so when asked, other rescues put them in touch with us. We are grateful for their help.

P.S. - Eggbutt, I still have your nasty PMs in my inbox from the Barbaro fiasco. I deleted almost everything, but for some reason 3 of yours are still there, along with some from a few other people. For someone who wants people to just leave other people alone, you sure don’t hesitate to dish out the threats and nasties on the private forum.

WHAT nasty emails??? You are so delusional! Back to the ignore list you go so I won’t be provoked by your posts.

I continue the Barbaro thread on the racing forum due to the extremely high number of requests I receive to do so. I (obviously) now only post things related to Barbaro, such as the fund for Laminitius Research and how to hep raise money for that, updates from the Jackson’s in regards to related Barbaro topics, etc.
The fact that any horse touched so many lives isn’t news.
The fact that this one did, and from his death so many others may have a chance to be saved, is.

Why show so much bitterness about something that can do so much good in our equine world? So what if posters indicate they have a void because of him? Who cares if folks want to say a prayer or light a candle for him? He has singlehandedly opened the eyes of thousands who only came to know him through his horrific journey. Thank God they did, as it’s because of those folks so many horses have been saved throught the rescues the have been developed, the money that has been raised and the education that has been shared.

I thank each and every one of those unknowns that say “Good Morning” and “Good Night” and “I Miss you Barbaro”.

They, one day, could be saving a TB I bred and I once loved.[/QUOTE]

I still wear my Barbaro bracelet. I went to a hunter jumper show today, and the lady parked next to my trailer and I had a chat about…BARBARO. Guess what? She is a TB racehorse gal, and a good friend of hers was one of Barbaro’s nurses. She had wonderful things to say about the horse and the love the horses connections and owners had for him.

I happen to loathe funerals. I think the idea of an open casket is morbid. I feel that cemetaries waste a lot of perfectly good pasture land.

However, I would never think to deny people their experience of grief, sharing, and rememberance. JUST like the lovely chat I had today, between two folks who share a love of their horses, and appreciation for all of those who love.

The articles are written by someone with an opinion- not a clue. There are alot of people out there like that.

I just don’t let them waste more than a nanosecond of my time.

Moving on… :winkgrin:
