I thought it was legally sold in this country? I'll have to find out the numbers for some slaughter houses then!


If the dog cant fit the whole bone in it's mouth, should be fine. As for a meat processor for grinding bones, meat hammer and a wooden chopping board.

Handle tricky situations as if you were a dog, if you can't hump it or eat it, just piss on it and walk away.

thanks.

Look for abattoirs, but AFAIAA normal abattoirs don't kill horses. For that you need to look for 'horse slaughterer'. Which is why I wondered if you could buy it for human consumption over here. The knackerman I use for any fallen stock, is also a horse slaughterer but I have a feeling all the meat gets sold to be processed into animal food.
Try the nearest abattoir in any case as, even if you can't get horse meat, you should be able to get plenty of other meat.

According to Wikipedia it is legal to slaughter and butcher horses for meat in this country, for the food trade, so I will have to see. Can't imagine Abattoirs being open about it because of the "taboo" over horse meat but I'll ask around. Will be asking about the Abattoirs for offals, bones etc.

Thanks Fenny

Yes there is indeed nothing illegal about it but I don't know one abattoir worker who would happily slaughter a horse or horses on a regular basis. Horses are after all revered in this country and not seen as meat by the majority.Horse slaughterers are also known as 'knackers' and they specialise in horses.
I use either of 2 abattoirs for my livestock and neither do horses. It's tradition rather than the legalities. Ask abattoirs for their 'waste'. You do them a favour by taking it since they pay a lot of money to get it disposed of properly so the less they dispose of, the more money they save. It'll probably be easier to source meat from an abattoir than a knacker.However, if you have any knackers (horse slaughterers in the yellow pages) in your area, certainly worth asking them too.
Good luck with it.
