France consumes tons of horsemeat every week. Years ago there was an outfit in Canada that owned 3 Boeing jets. They did nothing but carry horse meat from Canada to France, full time.

Europe and Canada. My grandmother used to say it was more common than any other meat at her local butcher's shop in Belgium.

You must see the videos on xoB's linked site. The second video is kind of lame, just an interview, but the first one shows her running around.

I think she looks more a pot-bellied pig than a horse. When she runs, she has her head down, like a pig, not up like a horse, and her barrel chest makes her piggish. Of course we could tell if we could taste her.

Horse meat tastes a bit gamier than beef and isn't as fat. I used to get horse tenderloins. It has just been made illegal in the last session of Congress so I guess they will throw them away or feed them to the dogs when they get old. In fact I used to be able to buy ground horseburger as animal food in NYC in the 70s, if memory serves.

Can it be horse-box trained?

Can one fly on a plane with a tripping passenger?

Slang: Hi, yeah....I was wondering, now I know this sounds crazy....but I have this tiny horse and I'd like to bring it with me to India. What might the procedure be for taking a horse with you on a flight?

It's probably much better than beef these days. Who's heard of mad horse disease, anyhow?

Griff, I knew I could count on you.

Now has anyone mentioned "dental floss" yet?

I don't know, chris. She's awfully high maintenance for a blind person to keep.

Was she bred by the French as a special starter portion?
Or just for Tom Cruise?

The mini horse tells us that you don't necessarily need mutation to vastly change a species.
Uh, and exactly what do you think cause the small size other than a mutation? Actually it could be multiple mutations that all worked together to make an exceptionally small horse based on the parents or it could be a spontaneous germline mutation that occured with just this horse. Either way, the tiny horse does not have the same wild type genes as the big horse.
