Why would the horse leave its savior?

And after all that the horse is still lame, and often leaves you for greener pastures. You are surprised anyone else would want the lame horse!!! You expect the lame horse will return because you are the only person on the earth that really loves it.

Then you find out there are others just like you waiting for a lame horse to cross their path. After all you did, its quite a blow.

The "why" is not complicated.
