The Bloodhorse reports that Barbaro has had another section of his left hind hoof removed this weekend in order to decrease pressure on the coffin bone, and a cast placed on his right hind for extra support. Barbaro’s current treatment includes a return to the sling pictured in this photo taken in July.
awwwww. I hope this is just a preventive thing and not leading to something more serious. He still looks great tho. What a beauty he is!
I’m sure you’re working on the sombering news. If you’re interested, feel free to add my painting (at http://www.ashleycecil.com) to your next post as an illustration. I’m in Louisville and this type of news is dear to my heart.
Best,
Ashley
