is the horse living. Even to this day, if a horse breaks a leg it's very hard for them to recover full movement and it seems as if all 4 of her legs are hurt. Hopefully they're just sprains but even those can heal badly and cause issues. Poor baby, sprains or fractures can take months to fully heal and breaks well you still never want a horse to break it's leg.
Then again the author may not know any of this and she'll be up and about in a few days hehe.
