You see in films (True Grit) where they run until the horse collapses, then in the case of True Grit, shoot the horse.

Can you run a horse to death, or would it just stop and refuse to go?

Yes, you can

yes

I believe so.

Indeed you can. In fact you have to be careful not to do this by accident.

My OH’s donkey is pretty healthy, but her previous horse was a reet sweaty bugger. We had to be careful not to overwork him and hose him down with cold water if he got too hot.

They are VERY stupid animals and will just keep responding to work commands until they drop.

bollocks – you can’t even make them drink, as any fool knows

Black Bess did it for Dick Turpin so we’ve been told.

Oh well that’s part if True Grit ruined.

Apparently the horse was being ridden to see Keyser Söze who had nicked his sledge which was actually dead.

….and had a penis.

it’s ok, the horsey doesn’t get run to death in True Grit
