So, I know a lot of horse people, but not one of them would I dare ask this question to. They would never look at me the same way again.
If you wanted to intentionally make a horse lame, how would you do that? I am looking for both (relatively) humane and cruel possibilities. Are there ways to do that without killing the horse?
The horse in my story is unshod, and old but not unfit. Someone is about to ride away on it and someone else desperately wants to prevent them from leaving, but is not quite up to killing outright. This is in the middle ages.
Sorry if this has come up before. I believe there are a good number of horse questions in this forum, but I felt this one might be unique.
