I used to live near Amish country and I've heard those stories, too. An unwanted horse either goes for slaughter or he goes to the Amish, and one was about as bad as the other.
Draft horses work unseen on the farms. Old Standardbred racehorses (the racing sulky horses) and old Saddlebred show horses often end up pulling buggies for the Amish until they drop. Sad but true.

Yeah, very very sad.
