That poor guy. I know it's really painful for him, as he has to put wight on his poor foot. MY mom had two horses when I was younger. Magnificent animals.

In most cases a horse with an injured leg is usually put down.I'm no saying that this will happen to your horse,but a broken leg on a horse will heal slow,and they can't keep the weight off of it.

Not my horse. Barbaro is the renowned Kentucky Derby winner who broke his leg in the opening stretch of the Preakness this year.
Also, seeing as how the majority of my life has been spent working with horses, I'm pretty familiar with what a broken leg *may* entail, depending on circumstance. ;)

Re: Please...
Yes, thanks for the update.... :( That makes my tummy turn. I saw (heard) a QH break it's leg at an event, worst thing ever. ever.... They spend almost all their lives on their feet, even sleeping while standing... So to have that kind of weight on a bad break... I can't think of anything worse for a horse to recover from... *heavy sigh*I'm all about the good vibes too!!! So, I just KNOW he'll be fine! :grouphug:
