I'm going to assume it's an abbreviation of sorts for "knackers' yard".

A horse that was no good or too old to work would be sent to the knackers yard.

A useless horse is typically called a nag!?

If you change the "n" to "sh" what do you get?

A nag is a pony or a small horse and is used specifically to refer to an old or inferior animal. In Old English “nagge" originally denoted a worthless person and subsequently came to be used to mean a horse that was of little value.
