A crippled horse has been given a false leg in a pioneering operation to stop her being put down after suffering an awful injury.Thanks to the artificial leg, she is able to trot around her paddock and graze normally with her pony friends.
And the vet who treated her believes the surgery will be able to prevent many more otherwise healthy animals being destroyed because of broken or infected limbs.
Staff at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Wyoming feared the worst for Riley when she was brought in four years ago with what was describes as ‘an awful’ hind leg injury.
