Contrary to common belief, it is perfectly legal to consume horse meat in the USA. Check with the USDA to confirm this. Horse is delicious cooked or raw. It is more healthy than beef, and equines carry far less diseases than bovines do.

Is serving horse meat to children illegal in the US?

It's not specifically illegal, but it is considered taboo in US culture to eat horse meat. It should also be noted that most horse meat in the US is contaminated from toxic chemicals that are given to horses to keep them healthy, these chemicals never leave the horses system and stay in the meat, sometimes even after cooking. These chemicals can kill a human. Another thing to remember is that it is illegal to use horse meat that has not been inspected and funding for inspections was halted several years ago which means that the vast majority of any horse meat sold in the US is sold illegally.
