You know what they do with lame horses, right?

This is because horses have barely any blood or muscles in their legs. its mostly skin, bone, and tendon.
Combined with the bones being huge in the absolute (lots of resources to fix), but light and tiny in comparison to the rest of the body (fragile yet must bear enormous PSI).

Then factor an absolute biological NEED to stay upright almost all the time (prolonged lying down will cause horrible damage and lead to death. Horses sleep standing up) and being too heavy to reliably do so on 3 legs... it means they simply do not heal from a broken bone. Cherry on top, the horse's instincts which will result in it rebreaking constantly as it tries to heal.

There have been many attempts. you can pour in tens of millions of dollars into a single horse, with massive amount of equipment and human labor and knowledge, invested into trying to heal a broken leg for a horse. and it just failed and the horse eventually died in horrific agony.
(there are exceptions depending on the exact nature of the injury. some injuries can heal)

However. equestrian ponies are very light, very durable, have much better ratio of legbone size to body weight, and are perfectly capable of lying down on their back to rest, and are sapient enough to understand and suppress their instincts to ensure proper healing.
All in all, they should be capable of healing a broken bone just fine

To quote the great sources:

But jokes aside - you are very on-point. Though I think nowadays its not THAT big of an issue, just an incredible lot of hassle. I've heard there are methods - the horse should have its leg fixed, should be placed in suspended harness in its pen, being daily cared, massaged, fed proper diet, vet checking on it frequently, it should be given some short exercises to give her body a breather, etc. I don't think its a question of tens of millions, but that would be very expensive and very hard, and would require a lot of time.

As for the ponies of Equestria - they can actually stand on two legs. Not their preferred way, but the fact they can do it speaks volumes about how strong they are to their body mass. But they are also kinda magical, all of them, so its not a fair comparison.


But the point (of dragon's cock) was (sadly not) on centaurs (centaur fucking when?!). The problem is - where horse has its head, they have an entire human upper body. They are noticeably heavier than a horse of comparable size, and to distribute the weight evenly, would probably have to grow some extra thicc bums. So, for them the problem of broken leg is even more dire, hence my comment.

How the centaur is supposed to walk on three legs? And perform as chief? Not fall behind everyone, retain enough prowess to deal with upstarts, etc?

There is so much mystery hidden there! So much goddamn mystery!

I wish we could spawn more naga; impregnate both Héloïse and Valzira, and then keep on having more children with Héloïse after Malice.

you can get both heloise and valzira pregnant

 

[YouShallNotLol]

He doesn't know.

 

[GrandPaBrowning]

you can get both heloise and valzira pregnant

But only one Malice?..

Hm. How does this even work?

 

[muschi26]

In different playthroughs only.

thank you for the compliment

That is actually the 10s of millions of dollars thing I was talking about
Suspended harness for long enough duration harms the horse severely and kills it.
Water suspended harness helps a bit but still very problematic

Oh that is totally fair argument. I was just nerding out about the accuracy of the MLP skit that was clearly a joke

You know, it is kinda sadly ironic how fragile our most durable animal companions (if we discount elephants, of course) can be sometimes.

I'm pretty sure that the title of "most durable" belongs to cows. And they can survive a broken leg just fine.

They can't be grown into 1,5 tones rhino-sized monstrosity with more horse powers than some cars though.

Look at it! The very definition of an absolute unit!

You sure about that?
Even if we discount the height. Cows are bulkier and heavier than horses.

Okay, you are right! Google tells me that heaviest cows registered weighted around whooping 2 tones, almost 500 kilos heavier than the heaviest horse (on my pic, 1540 kilo).

The one on yours is built like brick wall on legs. Would probably total a semi if it'd crash into it.

Hope it will remain a hypothetical though. That cow is really freaking cute and I want to pat its muzzle. There is something truly special about both horses and cows, but if the former leans more into beauty, the latter leans heavily into cuteness.

Cows are cute. PERIOD.

 

[YouShallNotLol]

Would probably total a semi if it'd crash into it.

The result of a crash with a regular moose (500 kilo on average) is often fatal for the semi truck.
A big, chonky cow would probably walk out of the crash with a few scratches, and maybe a couple bone fractures. But would definitely survive.

Moose total cars and then get up and walk away. Car knocks moose's legs out from under it and it falls on the engine and squashes it flat. I don't think one'd be too happy after getting hit by an 18-wheeler tho.

Cabover - sure. Hood - ain't no way half a ton moose will total hooded truck. If it won't end up in ditch, caught on a dozen trees, of course. Besides, some people install huge-ass plows upfront just in case. In case of moose, I guess? Then its unlikely to even rich the engine. Heck, the force of impact shouldn't be enough to ditch even a semi without the trailer either - it has dry weight in tons.

18-wheeler will make it explode. Quite literally.

In Alaska moose run a leetle larger than that. IIRC the record was like 1800 lbs.

I am loving how the thread went about Ravager to "CAN A MOOSE DESTROY A CAR"

But would it be enough to crush the hood?

Also - holy shit! You'd need some Mad Max angry tuning to survive Alaskan wilderness! Yo, dawg! I've put spikes on your saws so you can stab while you saw!

You can say the thread was derailed...

AFTER HITTING A MOOSE!

 

[Hex Enchanter]

no you need to have naho be brought to the breaker, otherwise she runs away

No I specifically did not send her to breaker and she was available as a consort. She wasn't happy that the kobolds are scrubbing her in the bath though, so she wasn't broken. Maybe it's due to Issa poisoned her before
