Stress Various activities add stress to a horse, including running a race, stumbling, breeding. Stress increases the chance that a horse will be injured in a race, or die. Owners can remove horses from races for rest. Resting horses can later be returned to racing, or converted to breeders. Aging As a horse ages, its chances to win races are reduced.
Age also increases the chance of injury and death.
