[QUOTE="Shari, post: 151558, member: 1848"] I'd hope they wouldn't have tried to save him if it was a colt, but they've tried to "save" some with injuries equally as bad. Heck, 30 years ago when it was unheard of, they tried to save Ruffian. Secretariat's trainer was quoted saying he beleived she may even be even better than Secretariat. And she was a filly. Imagine what a colt out of her could have been. Those operations are rarely successful, anyway, so its probably for the best, anyway. It just bothers me what "success" can make a person do to an animal. Even in the quarter horse world, a world champion mare that had foundered so bad that her coffin bones had nearly fallen thru her hoof was kept alive long enough to produce two foals. Granted, they tried to keep her comfortable, but still. I'm sure they love their animals, I just don't understand that kind of love. [/QUOTE]
