the owners had to make a quick decision whether or not to try everything they could to save Barbaro.
Money was never a factor in their decision. That's what the second-guessers and animal rights nutjobs can't figure out in their lamebrained assault on a sport they don't understand. The Jacksons did it because they loved the horse. He was their pet, much the same way Tony and Sam are my pets.
There's nothing they would not have done to save him as long as he was not suffering. Plus the fact, that although his ultimate chances for survival were low because of laminitis and other complications, his injury was not a compound fracture.
When it appeared he would not make it when the laminitis started affecting his forelegs, then they made the decision to euthanize him.
