How many horses do you own? how many horses have you rescued? How many of you might of eaten horse meat and never known it. OMG you better go to your doctor and have tests down some of your symtoms might be related to that pork or beef you ate with the growth hormones and pain meds that were shot into them!!!!!!!!!!
