Any reason why the leg can't be amputated and a prosthesis used? I've read about this on elephant feet. Good Year even was involved putting a flipper/tail on a seal. At least you could use him for stud purposes. Not a horse person, just asking.

The cast was replaced again today.

There is infection in the damaged leg, but there is healing going on where it is wanted in the bones.

This is going to take a long time.

I guess I'm a cold-hearted SOB, but I don't understand the drama in this story. Horses are far less smart than pigs, who we routinely fry and sprinkle on our salads or serve with eggs.

I hope Barbaro recovers, but I consider the horse an investment (which has already paid off handsomely) and not a cherished pet. What am I missing here?
