Best Answer

There are places that eat horse meat but I don't know if they are actually raised for food. Many of the horses that end up as dinner are bought from autions and such. So I think the reality is that the horses that are consumed as food are lame or injured and can't be used as saddle horses anymore.

Is the horse a source of food?

Yes. Horses are shipped from Canada to Japan where they are raised and processed for food. A horse steak may cost as much as $300 in Japan. The US passed a law that prohibits the killing of horses for processing. This caused the price of horses to drop and many horses have been turned loose to starve. If they are sold for food, they are shipped to Canada where it is legal to butcher them.
