I hadn't heard the news yet, and I'm crying for a horse I never knew. He sure touched many hearts around the world with his spirit and his will to live. Up until a few days ago, I thought he'd beat the odds and spend his life on the farm with his owners. I know the decision had to be hard on them, but they also said they wouldn't let Barbaro suffer.

Now, he's running again, pain free, like the champion he was in life.

Godspeed, Barbaro.

Such a sad news. At least he is now pain free. What a brave soul.
