1. I think what this proves is that many horses are needlessly euthanized

Likely because people don’t want to put forth the time and effort required to nurse a horse back to health.

2. There is a lot of time and effort,

But there's also big expenses that many people can't afford. Just the vet visit to your barn generally runs $100, before they do anything. Then, you may have xrays, meds, and other treatment.

3. Right, I'm sure not everyone can afford that kind of expense

I do also believe that those who can afford it often choose not to because it is probably cheaper and more expedient to replace the horse.
