Originally, horse hooves were a primary source of Gelatin. Through the years, they have moved more towards cow hides. They boil the skin to collect the collagen, which is what causes the gelatin to gel.

I've heard that same thing, too, over my life. There currently is no proof that horse body parts are used in the United States to make the substance gelatin, which is what makes jello gel.

Gelatin is made from the skins, bones, ligaments and tendons (this would mostly include hooves) of cows and pigs through a cooking/boiling process. This product is called collagen and is not only found in jello, but many other foods, vitamins and minerals, and health supplements.
