What happens to racehorses after their careers are over?

+1 vote

I'm an animal lover and I've always wondered about racing and racehorses. Where do racehorses go when they can no longer race?

Some racehorses become studs or broodmares. Racehorses can also be trained for shows or used in therapy for veterans and children and adults with physical or emotional problems. There are horse rescue organizations where people can adopt a horse. Be aware that some former racehorses should live out their lives in gentle, quiet, caring surroundings.
