This is not a hunting or shooting issue but I thought it would be the best place for the topic of horse meat .
The French eat it , so why don't the English , many restaurants have all sorts of exotic meat these days so why not horse meat , is it just a sentimental thing that stopped us eating it or is there another reason ?
I know we have probably been eating it in the past , all be it unknowingly , but why not legally on the menu ?
Cant say that I would have a problem with it , killing one animal is no different to killing any other when it comes to food . So should it be on the menu or not ?

"The Dromia Rule"
Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.
If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

Re: Horse meat
Horse? I'll eat anything.
Properly farmed, I don't see why we shouldn't be eating dogs too.

Re: Horse meat
I don't see why not. We eat just about everything else, so I'm sure it would sell if people were given the choice - unless it's been tried before and found to be a failure, perhaps?
Re: Horse meat
I've eaten horse - it's good, like a cross between venison and beef. I'll happily eat it again.

Re: Horse meat
Not sure why the Brits don't eat it? Maybe sentimentality; as you say...
We cull hundreds of wild ponies every year, and then sell the meat to the French.
If it's sustainable and can be harvested humanely...then I say tuck-in

Protein is protein. As long as it was done humanely, doesn't greatly matter.

Re: Horse meat
I had horse in France and hated it . I would have no ethical objection to eating it though. mrs Logic would though - she spends her life sat on one!
