There could possibly be a problem with the slaughtering - the meat comes from Europe, so I don't know the regulations there, however, there is no line for horses in the slaughter houses here.

Personally I would not eat horse meat - well - not unless it was to stay alive. Not out of any thought that it was not good meat, just that the horse is a different sort of animal. I'd probably have no problem with zebra - but donkey isn't food either.

During the times of rationing here in the UK horse meat was sold as food for dogs, dyed green. Not because it was unfit to eat, just so that no one could sell it as something it was not.
