• Because the horse is not making money while it is in rehab, Ashley must
take out a loan to cover veterinary costs.
• The horse’s value falls by 50%, since the prognosis is a 50% full recovery
with return to normal work and 50% incomplete recovery, with varying
ability to return to any work.
• It is important to note that after 12 months, Semper Fidelis does not return
to her $250,000 sale value before injury. This is due to the increased risk of
re-injury, and the potential but unknown decrease to the length of the
horse’s career.

• Semper Fidelis would have to sell for
more than her appraised value post
injury to break even after injury and
without rehab.
Results: Retire or Sell?
• Risk Analysis: Two Way Table
• The two way table shows that if Semper Fidelis can recover in 3 months, and
the average veterinary cost per month is only $5,000, than her sale value
after rehab will make Ashley $98,792.
This makes sense; the longer it takes for Semper Fidelis to recover, and the more
expensive the veterinary costs, the more money Ashley will lose after fully
rehabilitating her and then selling her.
Recommendations
• Soft tissue injuries can take anywhere from 3 months to a whole year to
recover from, and the prognosis for recovery is variable. Additionally, many
horse owners are emotionally attached to their horses, making it even more
difficult to make this recommendation entirely on the numerical figures.
But that is economics!
Ashley should consider: how much emotional value the horse brings to her life; could
she still enjoy riding Semper Fidelis at a less competitive level; her personal ethics
on what she thinks is best for her horse.
