Horses cannot lie on the ground for long lengths of time without getting ill, and they also can't stand on three legs while they wait for the fourth to heal. The result is a long, painful struggle that usually ends up with the horse dying. Having the leg heal properly without long term ramifications are extremely rare, and very expensive for the horse owner. Euthanizing a horse is seen as the most humane thing to do.
