Was it right?
Was keeping him alive the humane thing to do?

Of course it was. The horse had a fracture, it was repaired, his pain was controlled, he was happy, he was out grazing, etc. He died of complications of laminitis, a secondary condition which could or could not have happened, not of his fracture repair.
