They are not so powerful ,elegant or beautiful when they have to be shot ect. Their legs are quite weak and not powerful , as as soon as they break a leg they are deemed no good.

Jumping and running are very natural for horses, that's when we see the greatness of the animal. What is their natural state? What about when police use them or when people used to travel by horse, that's probably not very natural either.

Truth is you get rid of horse racing and the horse population declines massively and you get a higher proportion of horses falling into low quality and uncared for lives. That seems cruel to me
