The whole movie cowboy (icon) not eatin' his horse scenario as justification for not slaughterin' horses is just plain usin' folks sympathy and emotion for politics. Politics makes money for those in it. Movie stars drive away in cars they use throughout the whole movie and we still have junkyards. Scrap metal prices provide baselines for used autos, tractors. Never eaten horse myself, that I know of. I don't think it would be bad. They smell better than cows on the outside. Why is it that we eat cows and ride horses? I just don't think mounted on a cow that I could catch up to and rope a horse. Horses out cut cattle in the lot. I think too that horses got a lot more savvy. Had it been the other way around we'd be lookin' through a set of horns instead of sightin' down your pony's ears. I had to go trim and shoe some horses for a client. 4 were regular sized horses of various breeds. 5 were minis. Those minis now were just plain rotten. Small enough that you could hold'em easy enough but I sure 'nuff wanted to french fry those little rascals.Prolly fit in a turkey frier too.
