The family who owns Barbaro is fantastically wealthy so medical costs are not an issue. They love the horse and are doing what is possible to save him. I think they may need to be satisfied with Barbaro leading a relatively normal life. For him to mate, he will have to stand on his two back legs and support his entire weight. That may ultimately prove to be impossible. The family knows that. To keep Barbaro in a 12 x 12 stall for months without encountering complications is the real problem. Let's wish him the best.
