Have many times. Gave all my pigs names, gave all my veal calves names, and the sheep was named Lambchop.

Point taken, Bruce but there is a special bond we have with horses that we just don't have with other animals. I doubt Roy Rogers would have eaten Trigger.


There is no secret so close as that between a rider and his horse. R S Surtees

That's because Trigger was a valuable asset.
This horse was just a tool to be discarded when it broke.


These days horses are either pets, in a very few cases like cowboys or mounted cops, a working partner, or wild/domestic livestock(meat herds).
Remember we're talking about human consumption and horse meat being dry just begs for added bacon.
