For a horse to survive on three legs is so rare as to be nearly unheard of. I didn't see that post, and don't think they'd survive well. One FReeper vet relayed a story about a groundbreaking prosthetic on a horse done at a University. It cost a million bucks. It's not a practical solution.

True. A horse is not like a dog, cat or human. They have special needs. However, if someone wants to spend a million bucks to save a horse, I won't fault them for it.
