Recently, in Colorado, the happy pony shine runs again with the help of veterinarians and 3D printing technology.

On December 29, 2015, the owner of Shin found that he was covered in blood and had bruises on his face and hind legs. The veterinarian told the owner that the bone part of the skin (the bone connecting the legs and hooves) was broken and the injury was serious. They could not guarantee the shine. Will survive. However, the veterinarian provided them with a plan to consider amputation for the pony and then install the prosthesis for the life of the pony.

In the end, the hind hoof was amputated. After a month, the doctors installed the prosthesis made of 3D printing technology for the shine. After a brief recovery, theine was finally able to run again happily.

The owner said that he originally planned to train the shine into a performance horse. After this incident, he decided to train the shine as a medical horse and use Shine's own experience to encourage people.
