Minature horse fitted with prosthetic leg :-)

Since we are fed up with news about people's sense of superiority and numerous cases in which they ill-treat their animals I'd like to show you that people who respect quadrupeds are, still, not dying breeds..
On the 23th of March there were some news on the BBC about a miniature horse who was born without most of his right rear leg. Thanks to some ingenious engineering he has been given a new lease of life- his carers approached a firm which makes prosthetic limbs for humans and asked if they could help..
The four-year-old horse has been provided with a prosthetic leg thanks to which he has an opportunity to live his 30-year life at full capacity. To see how the horse breaks into a gallop for the first time you can click here www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12837035

Enjoy!
