They get 24/7 care from birth until death and I would go out on a limb and say other than maybe an animal at a awesome oo they have the best living standers around.
Now the same can't be said for the lowering grind horses that race week after week so the degens have something to bet on, but for the horses at the top they are damn well cared for.
