If the UK has anywhere near the problem with idiots breeding horses and then abandoning them to some farm when they get bored, flooding the market with untrained animals nobody wants, that the US does, I'd expect to see a lot more of it. The only reason we don't have horse in everything over here is because you can't butcher horses for meat, thanks to a bunch of laws that only add to the problem passed by doe-eyed imbeciles who've never seen a pasture full of starving, neglected animals milling around aimlessly and whose only thought on the matter is that they sured loved My Friend Flicka when they were kids.
NOT THAT I HAVE AN OPINION OR ANYTHING.
