Does anyone else own the Barbaro:A Nation's horse DVD and if so what do you think of it?

Question

I own it i got it for Christmas and I wish that they would make a movie about him!

Answer 1

I think it was very well done and very respectful to everyone involved.  I'd watch it more often if it didn't make me so sad.  I really liked the footage at the end of Lentenor, Barbaro's 2nd full brother, who was then a foal romping around the pasture.

I liked the HBO special about Barbaro more than I liked NBC's A Nation's Horse, but the HBO one doesn't seem to be on sale as a DVD yet, so you can't buy it yet.

And there's a little independent film, not specifically about Barbaro, but about a group of horses as they prepared for the 2006 Kentucky Derby.  Barbaro is one of the horses they focus on.  I haven't seen it yet, but I'm told that it's really good.  I did order it, but I'm waiting for it to come in the mail.  It's called The First Saturday in May.

Answer 2

I taped it from the NBC network and it's good,but it does make me sad.The other DVD,"The First Saturday in May" is good too.I bought that when it came out and it is quite interesting."Barbaro" and other horses are featured in it.
