Pedigree Query

Let me preface this by saying that, although I had the BC coverage on all day, I had the constant distractions of a 5YO and a 9MO to deal with, so my observations may not be the most accurate... but it appeared to me that Ouija Board didn't get the best trip either, really. Wasn't she boxed in for ...

I haven't seen it mentioned in any of the posts so far (although I may have missed it) but do keep in mind that front leg injuries in horses are almost always much more severe than hind leg injuries, in terms of saving the horse. Barbaro had a lot going for him - that the skin wasn't broken and that...

Thursday's update: http://www.timwoolleyracing.com/news/2006/07/barbaro_updates_12.php Update 283: New Bolton Center's press release for today: Barbaro remains stable: Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro remains in stable condition after another restful night according to Chief of Surgery Dean Richardson....

You sure are one angry person. Only a simpleton makes the illogical leap from a strongly expressed opinion to "anger." Unlike you, I can read a passionate opinion and not automatically come to the conclusion that they are an 'angry person'. I DO however make the fairly logical leap that someone who...

Will you quit with your repetitious "not normal" routine? Why? Because it annoys you? No, never mind, go ahead, keep doing it - it proves a point about you. The word 'normal' should not be used to describe his condition in any form, not even to mean he's 'having normal reactions to an abnormal circ...

Will you quit with your repetitious "not normal" routine? Why? Because it annoys you? WHO said that he was normal ? Several people in the media reporting his condition, HIS OWN VETS (though not in the way the masses are taking it) and quite a few people in this thread. The word 'normal' should not ...

I'll say it again. If ANY CREATURE has been drugged for TWO MONTHS so their body can't process the amount of pain it is really experiencing, that is NOT NORMAL. Will you quit with your repetitious "not normal" routine? WHO said that he was normal ? He may be having normal body functions and vital s...

You don't have any clue as to how much of a dose of epi med he is getting. Excuse me, but your ideas about epis are - to quote you - just stupid . excuse me, BUT are you familliar with the drugs Lidocane and xylazne(Rompun)? Do you know the drugs commonly used in Epi's in the equine patient? Do you...

E-P-I-D-U-R-A-L :roll: Yes, a great way of managing pain. Not drugged to the eyeballs, or gills. Had my baby that way. I could participate in whatever was necessary from my lower spine up, and my brain was fully engaged, allowing me to keep up a running conversation with the dr. & nurses as the...

Having had quite a bit of experience of deciding when it's time to euthanize and animals, and from reading all I have about Barbaro's behavior and coming to the conclusion that he's smarter than a huge number of humans, I'd say that Barbaro will let them know when it's time to stop trying. Animals d...

Kill me if I'm ever like that.

Dr. Dean Richardson, whose medical opinion I value more than anyone's who is posting on this subject here, made it a point days ago to say that this is NOT close to a Terri Schiavo case. He used those words.

Often I do have some trouble understanding every single word from certain jockeys (like Edgar, Alex Solis, Leparoux, Bejarano) but that's perfectly fine, I understand everything I need to know from them when they're riding their mounts. They are speaking "Equis". :wink: I took four years of Spanish ...
