        The issue was that it was advertised as beef. You can buy horse meat in France and it’s good, almost like beef but with less fat.

      Horse meat taste quite good for the price. There’s also lots of horses around, so re-using the meat when they die is much better than some farming conditions. It’s a more natural cycle of life.

        Sorry to burst your bubble, but riding horses or similar aren’t consumed afterwards. Horses that are will be specially raised, basically like cattle.

          At least here it depends on a lot of things: if the horses weren’t medicated and are killed in a way that doesn’t contaminate the meat, they 100% can be eaten. Often people will take their old/suffering horses to be butchered and then eat them, it’s often seen as respecting the animal even.
