Horses can break a leg in many ways; stumbling, galloping, races, fighting, and the most common, jumping. When a horse breaks its leg, it's in a lot of pain. The bone could be set, but your horse will always limp. But, if it does heal, it wont do much good, as the horse will still be in a lot of pain, as i said, limp, and may or may not get up at all. That's why most owners euthanize their horses, meaning, they put them down. You can look up ways a horse breaks it leg to find out more. Just be safe and gentle with your horse ;)
