Magnum was playing with his herd and broke his left foreleg.

The Beautiful Girl is devastated.

You will be missed, my friend.

No. A broken leg is a death sentence. They must stand. If they can't stand, they can't eat, drink or breath, and they die. Even for the most expensive race horses, where 24 hour care would be affordable, there is no survival.

Did not know that, seems strange in this time of tech, that a fiberglass Frankenstein-boot thingy can’t save a horse

So sorry for you.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

So sorry to hear that. I don’t know what to say. I was just reading the other thread the other day.

With all our technology, it’s hard to believe that a broken leg is still a death sentence.
