I grew up in a state in the USA that had a lot of quarter horses, standardbreds, and thoroughbreds. Quarter horses were adaptable for other work or as family pets, standardbreds were often purchased by the Amish for use in their buggies, but thoroughbreds had a hard time after the race track gig. Their temperaments, upkeep, and health issues were problems. Perhaps if they could join a herd of regular horses they'd have a chance of fitting in. Didn't happen there, though.
