Encyclopedic overview

Horse meat forms a significant part of the culinary traditions of many countries, particularly in Europe and Asia.

The eight countries that consume the most horse meat consume the meat from about 4.3 million horses a year. For the majority of humanity's early existence, wild horses were hunted as a source of protein.
