If horses can be killed humanely I see nothing wrong with eating them. Better than letting them starve in some field like is reported time after time all over the country.
I personally could not eat a horse unless I was starving. Same with cats and dogs, but thats my little problem.

I was a strict vegetarian for about six years- now I eat meat once in a while (free range or grass-fed, if it's beef) but I did notice that after giving it up, when I came back my opinion on what was acceptable to eat changed- now I don't really see a difference between eating one mammal or another. Horse, dog, cow, pig, rat, rabbit-- what's the difference, really? So, if people want to eat horse, fine. No real difference from beef, other than being healthier for you. Not to mention I think if treating one kind of animal inhumanely is unacceptable to us, it should be unacceptable to treat any animal that way.
Well, maybe I feel differently about eating primates, but that's 'cause they're family.
