Campaigning for Barbaro WA Ambassador

Barbaro is the 2006 Kentucky Derby Champion who was seriously injured in the first few seconds of the Preakness Stakes. The mission of Campaigning for Barbaro is to raise funds for equine hospitals across the country for continuing research, funding new equipment and services in the hopes of saving other racehorses that break down as Barbaro has. A portion of all proceeds will be donated to a Barbaro Fund for retired racehorses.

Welcome!

I am very excited to be the Campaigning for Barbaro Washington State Ambassador! A little background about me... I am the daughter of a successful Thoroughbred trainer, and am a nationally recognized Handicapper in my own right. I love horse racing, but hate to see our beautiful athletes live less than stellar lives after putting it all out on the racetrack. Also, I would like to see horse slaughter be a thing of the past in this country.

I hope we'll learn from each other in this blog, to laugh and cry together, to celebrate and congratulate one another.

Check out my links, and pictures, too. This is a living work in progress!

Cheers!
