Horses are remarkably fragile, and can die from indigestion, or essentially anything.

It means beating them in a race. Horses are fast, so if you want to outrun one you have to wait until it is dead. But that is clearly cheating, which is where the saying comes into play.

Exactly. And a dead horse can't run. Especially if you beat it.

i think you got it wrong.
i think the beating dead horse means you are just doing something useless. People usually beat the horse with a whip to get it run faster, but it won't do anything to a dead horse

The same guy who led horses to water and tried to make them drink.

They drowned. Then he beat them.

It means beating them to make glue. You beat a dead horse into glue, like an egg, which is the only way to do it. To restate that is pointless and doesnt advance a conversation because everyone already knows you that the horse has to be dead to beat it

Beating a dead horse is better than beating a live one.

But what if you were beating a live horse and that made it into a dead horse. That's certainly not good.
