It is illegal to introduce into the food chain by any means a horse that was
chemically euthanized.  They cannot be buried due to leaching into the water
table and many
plants that do render no charge for pick up and service.  Burning is illegal
in most areas of the East due to air quality concerns as well as health
issues. It can cost over $400 to dispose of a healthy horse and watching
your mount being dragged into a Dumpster is not fun.
This is an event that has to be planned for, either by the boarding barn or
the owner as fits the case.  In most cases where the authorities order the
horse down they will be able to suggest disposal arrangements  or may be
required to retain evidence from the carcass. Pennsylvania treats manure as
hazardous waste and requires that the barn do the same paperwork as other
generators, the haulers be licensed, and processors track where it came from
and where it went.

Thanks Irv for that information, adding fees and PENALTIES from state to state will vary. 
 
And YES, seeing any horse being destroyed, abused etc is not something to take pleasure in.  Seeing too many buried is a matter of grave concern.   And that is not meant to be a pun it just raises the eyebrow when another backhoe shows up and the what ifs of
what are the rest of the health concerns. 
 
Cleaning up backyarders  pet cemetary ridden with the potential for TB  is totally not my idea of fun.
 
 
Emotions aside.
