Standardbreds and Quarter Horses.
Unfortunately, there isn't much of a market for Standarbreds. Kind of sad.

Paints and Draft horses are a high candidate.

About 50 % Qh, thanks to AI, Paints 30% Drafts 10 and Arabs, Tb's and mustangs are in the Minority.

I think mainly the amish. they grind them up and send them to auction. it's very sad.
