I somehow agree. But there are some tags with key animal in use and 
documented in the wiki:

- animal=school used 672x, competing tag: amenity=animal_training used 406x
- animal=horse_walker used 381x, proposed
- animal=sport used 210x, only documented on wiki page "DE:Tiere" 
(Hundesportverein), competing key: club=*
- animal=wellness used 165x documented on wiki page "Animals"
- animal=cemetery used 93x documented on wiki page "Animals"
- animal=swimming used 20x documented on wiki page "Animals"
- animal=crematorium used 6x documented on wiki page "Animals"

Would it under these conditions be recommendable to make a proposal for 
amenity=horse_walker which competes with existing proposal for 
animal=horse_walker? animal=horse_walker is used 381 times, it was 
proposed in 2013, I couldn't find any discussion about it and the 
creator of the proposal seems to be inactive since March 2015.
amenity=horse_walker isn't used yet, man_made=horse_walker is used 3x, 
building=horse_walker 9x.
