There's nothing confusing or contradicting there. Horses cost money to upkeep, the owners and riders aren't making a ton of money off these animals but the races do give them enough to at least pursue a bit of a living from them.
Remove the chuckwagons and they wouldn't be able to afford to keep the horses around as pets. The horses, because again they cost a lot of money to take care, would therefore not be bought and end up in slaughterhouses.
