How I dearly would have loved to have been at the unveiling of the Barbaro statue at Churchill Downs yesterday but sometimes prior commitments have a way of getting in the way. Not to mention the handing in of my thesis which occurs on TUESDAY!!!!!
Anyway, thanks to lots of people, I have been supplied with some wonderful links for those of you who want to read about the goings on. I suspect that I will be able to post more as the week progresses.
In the meantime, the FOBs have certainly made their presence known! At least 200 FOBs have quite a whirlwind of activities planned all week including attending the unveiling at which they were recognized by their ribbons, pins and of course Lael Farm colors. To think that this devoted group of followers, some 5,000 strong, has endured for three years, rescued 2,900 horses from slaughter and raised over $1 million is beyond remarkable. It is truly the legacy of Barbaro and one worth celebrating.
Great things take time to accomplish. What the FOBs have accomplished in three years is astounding. What the Jacksons started, by doing the right thing for the right reason, this dedicated on-line community has continued and will perpetuate. That is truly the power of love.
