My daughter's first pony had to be shot because of a
broken leg. It was hit by a speeding car.
The driver had the audacity to claim that the pony
jumped out in front of his car. The pony was 36 years old
and was given away free with a loaf of bread.
He didn't do anything more active than he had to.
The best trot we got out of him was when he was
being chased by a bot fly.
Only expensive horses with breeding potential will
ever get their legs fixed.

Still I don't understand why the so called horselovers
are killing a horse when it broke a leg.
It migh solve part of the overpopulation if they did the
same with all that wounded skiers and cardrivers.
And because they have no breeding potential, also
shoot old women with broken wrists or hips.
Men in need of blue pills, with any additional defect?
Shoot'm

Although I have never hunted and am neutral on the
subject the hunt will be sorely missed as a means of
disposing of dead horses.

Bring it to the butcher.

A horse is a heavy animal.
Even with expensive racehorses with breeding
potential it is very tricky to heal a broken leg
due to the problems of keeping the horse's weight off it.
It is kinder not to try.
I doubt if there is much call for 36 year old pony's
carcass for human consumption. Well not here anyway.
The hunt would come out to euthanise a horse in
it's familiar surroundings and take the body away
to feed the hounds. If buried on the farm you
have to consider water catchment areas etc.
I trust you intend to eat the impotent men once
you've shot them.
Why stop there ?

There was a period of time during the earlier "Barbaro is getting
better" stages that he had some sort of hoof problem, that was
diagnosed as the result of either putting too much weight or not enough
on the hoof in question. There is a Cordwainer Smith line about "beasts
that run around on their toenails"


Stress founder in the other "good" foot from putting too much weight on it.

Not uncommon - you can get it if you make a radical change to a horse's feet
in shoeing as well.
