There are geographical differences, but in most places their upkeep is expensive and they are mostly used for racing or as beasts of burden. They don’t need much health problems to loose their worth and go to the butchers really easy.

Where do you even get that from? Most horses are pampered lawn ornaments.

Depends very much on the country they are in. Racehorses don’t tend to live very long and there’s still places where horses are being used for transportation, especially in remote mountainous regions.
