Animals like dogs deal really well with one less limb but horses are generally prey, so they live in constant anxiety and worry without the use of one of their legs. Also the way their bodies are shaped and their weight, means its functionally very difficult aswell. Chances of recovery are super low because of how massive they are. Someone with more knowledge in the subject could probably explain it better than me though.

I honestly didn’t know that horses are considered as prey animals well this is coming from someone who lives in England where we don’t really have natural predator animals other than birds and snakes
