The Roots of the American Horse-Eating Taboo by Tom Moates Thanks to exclusive research material provided by The Long Riders' Guild Academic Foundation, the world's leading equestrian investigative journalist, Tom Moates, has written a stunning exposé describing how the American cultural taboo against eating horse-meat is based on a forgotten edict issued by Pope Gregory III in the year 732. When the Catholic Church found itself locked in religious combat with the Pagan Vikings, who ate horse-meat during their religious ceremonies, the Vatican created a prohibition which not only affected Christian history but is unwittingly still being obeyed by Americans today.
