How healthy a horse is is not based on the breed. It just depends on if it is taken care of. Some breeds seem unhealthy because each do have different configuration and needs. But really, it is the horse itself, not the breed itself. To keep a horse healthy use it for what it does. Like, some little pony can't be expected to gallop like a Thoroughbred. Give a horse a loving and fun place to live, and it will be healthy.
The phrase "healthy as a horse" means to be in excellent health or physically fit, typically used to describe someone who is robust and strong. This expression is drawn from the perception that horses are generally sturdy and resilient animals.
So they can keep their horse healthy and speak to their vet properly.
