Tribute to a great horse

Pic credit: blog.kir.com

It is exactly three years after that fateful day when Barbaro got injured.

As most of you must be knowing, Barbaro was a champion American racehorse. He won the Kentucky Derby in 2006, but in an unfortunate accident, broke his right hind when jumping out of the gates in the Preakness, the second leg of the Triple Crown. The injury ended his racing career.

However, a talented team of doctors worked on him in the hope that he would at least be able to lead a retired, peaceful life. And what was amazing was an entire nation--race lovers and non-racers alike--rallied around the horse with support. But finally, after a series of surgeries, it was decided to euthanize Barbaro.

Today, the Toolbar TV takes you to view an extremely emotional tribute to the great racehorse. All horse lovers who have watched the video have had tears in the eyes and a lump in the throat. So don't be embarrassed if you too feel the same way. It just confirms you are a genuine horse lover.
