Behind the romanticized façade of Thoroughbred horse racing is a world of injuries, drug abuse, gruesome breakdowns, and slaughter. While spectators show off their fancy outfits and sip mint juleps, horses are running for their lives.
Horses used for racing are forced to sprint—often under the threat of whips and even illegal electric-shocking devices—at speeds so fast that they frequently sustain injuries and even hemorrhage from the lungs.
To use Horses as Police Horses, for Carnival,hunting,Horse drawn carriages , horse racing,rodeo,Polo Olympic competions is dangerous because Horses are fearful animals ( flight animals) -they fear loud noises, screaming People.
Equestrian Eventing: The Olympics' Most Dangerous Sport:
They risk breaking the horses' necks or backs.
Pushed beyond their limits, most horses are subjected to cocktails of drugs intended to mask injuries and artificially enhance performance.
Many horses—fittingly called "bleeders" by the racing industry—will bleed from their lungs, a condition known as exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage. In an attempt to decrease the bleeding, many horses are given a drug called Lasix or Salix, a diuretic with performance-enhancing qualities.
After Racing, horses are often killed for human consumption overseas .
Made into dog food .Used to produce glue ,
Murdered by their "owners" who then file fraudulent insurance claims.

Background:
For years, horses have been bred to run fast. As a result, thoroughbreds have oversized frames and undersized legs. They are so fragile that injuries are commonplace. Furthermore, inbreeding causes genetic defects among racehorses.
Not surprisingly, every week, an average of 24 horses experience fatal breakdowns at racetracks and this number doesn't even take into account the horses who are discarded by the racing industry when they're no longer considered profitable. In 2015, in New York alone, more than 250 Thoroughbreds endured injuries or fatal breakdowns during races.
Transportation to Slaughter
Horses are placed in double-decker trucks which are too low for them to even stand up straight. They are not given food or water, or even allowed to stop and rest. "Owners" do not want to spend money on painkillers so those animals with a broken leg or other injury must suffer the entire trip without any anesthetic. Since horses must be alive when they arrive at the slaughterhouse in order to be used for human consumption, even animals in excruciating pain will not be euthanized.
Horseracing is effectively excluded from all anti-cruelty laws. Individual states are supposed to be regulating the industry through their own racing commissions. Since the racing commission is a state agency, state prosecutors are disinclined toward pursuing cruelty cases against it. Moreover, because each state receives revenue from its tracks, states are unlikely to hold industry insiders to very strict standards.
