Raz hugged her strongly. "don't worry, he will live a long, healthy life. My paso fino stallion, bolero, cut the tendons on his hind leg when he was 3. They said to put him down,he would never walk. He is 8 now and ridden regularly. He may never run, but he will still be happy." (btw, bolero is a real horse, and that actually happened to him. I don't own him,a friend does, but he really survived severed tendons and a hole in his chest. (He was chased by a neighbors stallion that broke into the field. Bolero got loose and ran into a fallen price of fence on someone's property. The post ran through his chest expand the barbed wire severed his tendon)
