Barbaro

Mickle Fraser, Shelly. Barbaro. New York: Aladdin Paperbacks, 2007. 147 pages. (Non-Fiction)

I love animals and most of all horses, so I saw that tragic end to Barbaro's career and followed him to the sad point of his to life, the end. I think it is good for everyone who worked or was connected to this amazing horse let it all out and tell the story of Barbaro's life. This is a book that will make you cry if you have a true and loving heart.

Barbaro (also name of book) was bread to be a champion and everyone said he would be the one to take his place among the Triple Crown winners. But this horse born to run and be a champion, all changed in one heart wrenching moment that would change his life. America's horse was not racing to be a champion but was now fighting for his life.
