A horse is born to run.
The term heart attack, as applied to a horse, is not accurate. You are making it sound like a human heart attack, which it is not. Usually it is related to an vessel breakage or aneurysm. This also occurs out in the middle of fields and increases with the horses age. When it happens, it is terrible, but you make it sound like they are not trained creatures that are doing what they are best at.
Side note: if you are a male in North America, you have a 50/50 chance of going out with a heart attack as well.
