Unless it's cheaper to shoot the horse and get a new one.
Also a farmer has a working relationship with his horse.
You are kind of contradicting yourself. The truth is that nobody cares about you, especially if you are at a big corporation. If you think they care, then they are just good at making such impression. The moment they don't need you, they'll let you go without blinking.
Their foremost goal is to make money, anything else are just means to further that goal.
