Horses aren't delicate. Feed them, house them, train them, and treat them with respect, they'll work their butts off for their owners for years and years in good health. Horses grew this country from a colony to a first world nation.
Horses are like any animal, they respond poorly to abuse. I doubt the piss poor handling of this poor creature started recently, and I wouldn't doubt he's abused other animals in the past.
I want to see the judge forbid him to own animals, ever again. They do that for the worst of the animal hoarders and abusers.
Horses can be incredibly tough, yes, but their legs are a fine balance of a lot of little delicate components that all need to work together perfectly.
