Pasture

I was at the pinnacle of my career one day and the next day I was put out to pasture. I was like a racehorse with a broken leg.

I don't think I'd mind being put out to pasture. It's probably relatively quiet there. And you can watch the clouds and enjoy the sun or move into the trees if it gets too hot. Not a lot of people around to bother you.

Also, loosely related, Jack Klugman - I'm not sure being put out to pasture is what happens to horses with broken legs.
