What I want to know is are these horse breed for meat or are they some old nag left after a pony sale that no one wants.

It has however evaded every single safety check for health, drugs, quality etc
^ wot 'e said. Meat for consumption has to undergo vigorous safety checks and has to have total tracability from farm to abbatoir. There are certain vetinary drugs that cannot be used on livestock that is going into the food chain. These checks etc will not have taken place on Tarquin's pony and it is likely to be unsuitable for consumption. Horsemeat reared for the table is a totally different matter, but it is unlikely that what is turning up in Tescos will have been bred for the foodchain.
 
Especially given the increasing suspicion that this is a criminal act rather than neglect

Illegal alcohol is notorious for the content of antifreeze and other nasties

The chances of the meat being of high quality is even less if this is a criminal conspiracy
