There are a few ex race horses that end up having full lives (literally) once their racing career is over.
The most athletic and sound horses get snapped up pretty quick by the showjumping/eventing fraternity. Our thoroughbreds are sought after world wide in this sport.
But race horses are hot blooded creatures and are not suitable for beginners. My old boy is one of the exceptions, placid and unflappable.
So that leaves the other 95% to whatever fate has in store for them.
Rather sad isn't it.
