Horses are animals not to be eaten as they have a non devided hoof,

If you belive in this at least --- I do, so eating a horse is gross & unclean.

I hope this is the right quote.

"All that have hoofs, and divide the hoofs, and chew the cud ;-- you may eat those beasts:--

4 "But you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, and do not divide the hoof ;--

"The camel ; for it chews the cud, but has not divided the hoof. It is unclean to you ;--

5 "And the jerboa, for it chews the cud, but has not a divided hoof ;-- it is unclean to you ;

6 "And the Leaper, [note 1] for it chews the cud, but has not a divided hoof ; it is unclean to you ;

7 "And the swine ; although it has hoofs, and divides the hoof, but it does not chew the cud ; it is unclean to you ;--

8 "You shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their carcases ; they are unclean to you ;
