problem is that the horses bear so much weight on their legs that they rarely heal correctly. I am a veterinarian who practices on small companion animals but I remember this well from vet school. Most horses that have fracture repair are rarely pain free after surgery is the reason why they are euthanized. Sad but true. If the decision to euthanize were strictly about money, most horses would be saved due to the money generated by breeding these animals.
