When I worked as as a vet tech we had two horses in the clinic once, one injured and one sick. The injured horse belonged to a family of a girl with Downs Syndrome. The horse was justa grade horse, but was quiet enought that the girl could trail ride with her family and even show it. The sick horse was a Tennessee Walking Horse stallion valued at around $50,000. We all knew which one was truly the most "valuable" animal.
