| Oct 30, 2014 at 13:38 | comment | added | hippietrail | As per @Geobits comment I feel there must be a term for when a horse has been used on one ride for too long that might not apply to an animal that has been worn out by a lifetime of use. | |

| Oct 28, 2014 at 17:17 | comment | added | Hot Licks | In that particular sentence "whipped" or "beaten" would work sorta OK. | |
