The Horses Leg

Can you say fragile?
There is nothing more to worry about a horse than their legs.  If one is broken, there is almost no hope.  A horse can not sustain it's weight on three legs, and the recovery time is way too long and way too painul to put a horse through.  Erika had to put a horse down today that had shattered his radial hip bone.  There was no hope... She had been in the practice for years and it still hurts her to put a horse down.  I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it.  I love animals so much.  It hurts me so much to see an animal in pain or have to put one down myself.  But in the end I will know that whatever I do was the choice to help the horse.  Sometimes you have to put the horse out of it's misery.  It stinks.
