    Can a race horse ever live a normal life after a lower leg fracture?. The answer could be yes.There is a sad but delightfull story on www.standardbredcanada.ca,with video .
    Its on the home page and half way down on the left side.
    Its a story about a minature horse who had 3 legs and was took to a equinine abuse center and the good people there. For those who enjoy horses in general will appreciate this story and the people at ranch hand rescue

    ...and there are always exceptions when a horse breaks a leg.
    Persian War fractured his femur and recovered to win his second Champion Hurdle.
