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.

These horses need our help!

There was a terrible accident in Missouri with 44 horses in a double-decker cattle trainer (which will be illegal as of the beginning of December!). These poor souls were on their way to the slaughterhouse!! The accident did have some hidden good in that the horses that survived will NOT be going to the slaughterhouse! There is even a pregnant mare who was part of the group scheduled for slaughter!! This is TERRIBLE!! But YOU can help! Click the link above and sponsor any one of the horses profiled on the site. There is a lovely person on the Tim Woolley Racing site (link below) who will MATCH your donation!! Simply list "TWR Challenge" in the comment line of the donation form AND send a short email to Longmeadow and say "I have just donated to the TWR Challenge for the Missouri horse survivors". This way the donations for matching can be tracked. I donated to the one named "Spirit" in honor of my baby, Spirit, who I posted about below. Please give as much as you can! THANK YOU!
