Unfortunately, the reality for the majority of horses, especially ones like this, is the kill pen. There are simply far, far too many horses, and not enough homes. Especially not homes who can actually afford to take on a horse like this. Sanctuaries are full, and no riding school is going to take on a horse like this when kill pens are already stuffed full of sound, broke horses that can be used to plod around an arena. If the owner has even a shred of decency and compassion, she would have him humanely euthanized. He deserves to finally be free of pain.
