@Introvert you see, the thing is that a horse's leg bones are quite brittle. Don't get me wrong, their bones are really strong, but once they reach a certain level, their bones shatter into small pieces (unlike humans whose bones might bend a bit).

So the kind thing to do for the horse is to put it out of its misery.
