Want to know what happens to race horses that can't run anymore and have  too 
many issues to be riding horses?  Or what about the mares, bred year  after 
year, standing in stalls only inches wider than they are, hooked up to all  
sorts of apparatus so that their urine can be collected to make the drug  
Premerin for post menopausal women? What about hack horses rented out to God  
knows 
who?  Don't even get me started on what can be done to show  horses.  Horses 
have it rather tough actually.
 
The Amish are farmers.  (Many of their carriage horses are rejects  from 
Standerbred tracks; the whole lot of those are "skinny and lame"). When an  
animal 
has outlived its usefulness the Amish usually don't put it out to  pasture.  
In the meantime, they treat it well and not unkindly.  I  don't fault them for 
 that.  
 
The whole notion of "animal as part of a family" is ours, not theirs.
