You would think with all the technology today they could use artificial means 
to mend that poor animals leg I think it is a shame to destroy it...
I read an article where they successfully produced and installed a prosthetic 
(sp?) leg for a horse that lost one.  I would think that this would at least 
be attempted in a horse of such value.  Ultimately the decision comes down to 
the amount of suffering that the horse would have to endure.  Some things are 
just not worth it.     MA
