A memorial is a good idea, but not like this, not at all.

I don’t like the idea of having Barbaro on his back. He was a great horse that fought for his life for a long time. When he’s on his back it seems like he’s broken and he’s given up. Barbaro never gave up. He was an amazing horse that fought till the end.

How dare this stupid guy dishonor Barbaro in such a way!I think that is a very poor way to depict a horse that was a hero to so many people. Barbaro should be shown as the proud racehorse he was, not in such a demented way..and as for his other sculptures,they seem just as demented as this idea…

Art is often controversial to stimulate discussion and provoke thought on topics that make us uncomfortable. Personally, I think there should be more focus on injuries to race horses and how they’re treated, so I’m not upset by the concept behind this memorial. It’s the fact that it’s of Barbaro– a horse millions grew to love– that’s bothersome.

That is so weird. I think it is a good idea to put up a memorial but not one like that.

Was Barbaro a stallion? I was wondering if the “heroic” measures for saving Barbaro were intended for stud services.

Gross! That’s not how we want to remember him.
