The breed of horse that is slaughtered most is the American Quarter Horse. This horse also happens to be the horse that is most commonly over-bred. We should stop massacring the American Quarter Horse.

Any horse really is capable for slaughter but the Brumby horse is most common for slaughter,witch even led to public outrage in the 1960's!

Thoroughbreds are the most common. If they can't race anymore or are too slow they go to slaughter.

If a horse is sold at an auction to be slaughtered the horse is generally of no use to the owner or is too old. Wild horses in the US are usually smart enough to avoid being eaten but foals or injured horses might be attacked by mountain lions/cougars, wolves, and sometimes grizzly or black bears. Domestic horses may also get attacked by such predators.
