Horse reform
Retirement of a horse from an unsuitable role / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Horse reform is the definitive retirement of a horse from an activity that no longer suits him properly. In the past, the term " reform " was used to refer to the retirement of aged, vicious or defective[1] horses. The term is now generally used in the field of equestrian sport, where it is referred to as a "reformed racing horse". But it can also be used for many other activities, such as equestrian sports or teaching in riding schools. Reformed horses have a variety of fates: although some are redirected towards activities in which they are less in demand, most are taken to the slaughterhouse.
