This particular horse was only six years old and had plenty of working years left in it, therefore it had not reached the end of its usefulness, so can't be seen as an example of what happens to spent landau horses. How daft does this anonymous writer think we are?

However, it answered the question asking if landau horses are sent to auction, where the devil himself could purchase them.

Where they could end up in pet food, or on a horrific live export journey to Europe or further. Or even worse still in a vivisection laboratory -- is that what they call caring?
