Four-year-old Bet On A Star will run again after losing his hoof, reports WPTV. Better known as “81,” this Quarter Horse will be fitted with a prosthetic device near the end of 2018.

A cut on his ankle became infected with a waterborne disease, which later led to complications, and as a result, he lost a hoof.
