The thing is that if a human breaks their leg they KNOW they have broken their leg and so after the plaster cast has been put on they will move around carefully and only put weight on it if they have to and with support like a crutch.

A horse has no idea it has broken its leg so will try to kick any cast off, and will not move around carefully but try to run if it...

"and although its a risk the enjoyment from seeing their horses run far outweighs the rare occasions when a horse is injured or killed."

I wonder if the horses see it that way?
