There's no cow on the ice
I did a search on YouTube videos with Akhal-Teke horse races the other day, and I came across what I presume is a Russian video (for some, to me unknown, reason the sound doesn't seem to work?!), I now can't get it out of my head and feel that I have to ask if anybody on HHO knows if there is any chance that the horse survived?
Big WARNING! The video shows two horses racing against each other (in a way that made me think about Drag Racing), one of the horses have a freak accident and is injured.
For those who wants to know what happens, without having to watch:
At 0:11 seconds into the video, the jockey on the grey horse that is furthest away from the camera, seems to become somewhat unseated, in a freak accident the horse then do some sort of a buck, lands on the railing that is separating the two "lanes", does something like a somersault and at 0:25 seconds the camera view changes and you see the horse from the front and how one front leg is dangling, it looks as if the horse is finally about to manage to stop at 0:43 or 0:44 seconds, when the video is cut and the worst part is reviewed again and then the video ends.

It doesn't look survivable to me, but in the vague hope that a HHO:er will see the video and write a positive reply, preferably with something like "I've seen such injuries before, it was just the muscles controlling the leg that was damaged (hence making the leg dangle) and we've patched them together again without a problem", I'm now posting this.
