Barbaro - information needed

[CalliChristmasTree]

For english i have to do speaking and listening as part of my coursework.
As my class mates do not really know alot about horses i though i would tell them the story of barbaro. ( I do not know alot my self)
I was just wondering if anyone has any good sites or pictures that will be of any help to me.
Thanks in advance.

www.thoroughbredtimes.com has loads of info, articles and photos. You can also try the american tv channels and news channels. They also have lots of pictures etc.

The story of Barbaro is really sad - if you type Barbaro in you tube there is film footage of when his leg gave way - there is a website called horsetalk (i think) that has a history of articles on Barbaro.

I personally think that it was inhumane to keep him alive for the sake of trying to use him at stud - when you see photo's of the angle that his leg set at, it would never have been strong enough.
