KENNETT SQUARE, PA — Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro is stable and comfortable following the latest setback. “Barbaro’s comfort improved considerably following the procedure on Saturday morning,” said Dr. Dean W. Richardson, Chief of Surgery. “He has been standing and moving around his stall well enough that sling support has not been added since. His appetite has improved and his vital signs are stable. Overall, we are pleased with his progress following the setback to his left hind foot.”
Barbaro remains in the Intensive Care Unit of Penn’s George D. Widener Hospital at New Bolton Center.
The next update will be posted on Thursday, January 18, unless there is a significant change in Barbaro’s condition.

Hi, glad Barbaro is doing well again, I like to keep up with his progress. Sadly, my old Arabian mare was put down a week ago due to mostly old age.She was 28, but I was heartbroken.Her partner Talyanca, my gelding, is now suffering with dropped pedal bone and had an abcess which came out through the coronet band.He is in and on medication, but a little better since the farrier put on a bar shoe.He said we will wait a month to see if he recovers from the lameness, as I can't watch him suffer.He is pining for his friend Shanna also. He is 29 years old. a 15.1 Arabian who used to be a show winner.The laminitas was a shock, as he has always been so slim, but we had so much grass last year that even in a paddock, he suffered with laminitas.I don't want to lose him also.
