"I don’t know." It’s the most honest answer she can give. "If there’s a chance he’ll recover, even if it’s slim, then..."
But Rita knows it’s a lot to hope for. If they leave the horse like this, he could get eaten alive by a predator. He could lie here in pain until he starves. Or he could get found by someone, brought back to the stables, given proper treatment... or would he? "No... even if he survives, the Prince might not bother helping him..."
If there's anything she knows about the Prince, it's that he has little compassion and plenty of vanity. If the horse returned in this state, would he allow him to be treated? If he was treated, would the Prince deign to keep a scarred, injured horse among his steeds?
