Description If you don't know about Barbaro, inform yourself. Not to sound like a broken record to everyone who already knows this guy's story, but...
Basically, he was a great colt who won the Kentucky Derby, last summer, yet was fatally injured during the run of the 2006 Preakness Stakes, not long after.
Barbaro was then later euthanized due to health complications (severe laminitis, mainly), several months later, on January 29th, 2007.
Millions mourned the famous racehorse.


I can't remember who the reference for this was taken by, but I think I have the original photo, somewhere on my hard drive...
Also, you'll unfortunately have to excuse the ridiculously crappy quality of this, because I guess my digital camera doesn't act as a very good scanner, lol (if you want to see it better, I'd recommend standing a few feet away from your monitor. ) In real life, however, you'll just have to take my word for it on the fact that it looks so much better.


Anyway, PLEASE, do not steal, copy, alter or redistribute this piece in any way or form. It's a kind of sentimental drawing, and I'm going to be beyond flaming pissed if I see it somewhere else, without my explicit permission. I didn't add a copyright apart from my signature, because I didn't want to ruin or hide Bobby's face, so, yeah. Please show a bit of respect.

What a horse. It's really all i can say. This captures his grace, power, and courage all at once! The way his injury didn't stop him from wanting to finish. The way he pulled on and was upset to be forceably held back. Heartbreaking...tragic.. I will *never* for get him. He was a true campion...

**PS** We share the same bday! April 29th!

so pretty...beautiful art immortalizes the heroes of this world.

barbaro was a one in a million. i watched the fatal race and cried when his leg gave. you could see he would've kept going if they'd let him.

Beautiful artwork. It was so sad to hear about Barbaro, it was rather shocking, but you show him so dignified as he was when he was alive..
