Usually horses don't show people exercise, people exercise their horse. But they can make great companions for their people. Nothing is better than just 'hanging' with your horse. They smell so good and they are just great to be with. One of my favorite times is being in the barn on a rainy day just grooming and chatting with my horses. (I always talk to my horses) And if you are kind to them and of course feed them they will always be glad to see you.
Yes, the winning horse generally gets 60% of the purse so the owner of a winning horse in 100,000 dollar race would receive 60,000 dollars. The owner then distributes funds to the trainer, the jockey and and grooms or exercise riders involved per a contractural agreement. Trainers and jockeys generally get at least 10% each and grooms and exercise riders get a generous "tip".

If the owner does not notice this is neglect, though eventually worms will show in the coat condition and general well-being of the horse so it would be an extremely neglectful owner who didn't realise their horse was unwell with a worm infestation.

After washing down a shire horse, the owner or groom hand will use wood flour to dry the feather on it's legs quickly, in preparation for a show.
A good name for any horse is up to the owner. Name it something you like and can live with. Many horses have long show or registered names and then a shorter barn name.

Whether or not you show a horse is up to the individual owner. Many people keep horses solely as 'pets' or for pleasure, the breed has no bearing on this choice as a general rule.
