I wouldn't be surprised to discover horses are better cared for now than when the coin was termed. We just understand nutrition better these days for both humans and animals. And we don't beat our animals like they did back then either.

OTOH, a horse was incredibly valuable to a common man.

Some people definitely still beat the shit out of their horses and livestock. Just go to a rodeo in the US sometime and you will see it.

There's evidence that knights would dismount before battle to prevent their horse from being injured, even though they knew they were exposing themselves to greater risk. Although we have more technical knowledge about how to "optimally" care for horses now, there's no reason to believe that we aren't as or more exploitative of them, rendering them as or less healthy than horses back then.
