Phedras’s carcass was found lying partially against the fence and ground. The head and neck were intact, but the legs were gone from the shoulders and cuts in the torso were smooth and deliberate.
“They literally filleted his shoulders,” she said.
October 26, 2015
The Grand-Prix-level show-jumping horse had been led out of his stall during the night and "filleted": "The slices were so deliberate..."
"... and so well done that the moment you saw it: This was a professional.”

Khartoum!!!
That is just weird. Butchered for meat? There are much less troublesome ways to get meat, and if you're going to steal an animal to butcher for meat why a racehorse in a locked stable?
I suspect some other motive.
“With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chill peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy). Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths. He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share.”
Nothing about horse, though. So, that rules out one suspect.
This has to be related to gambling. Always follow the money.
So now some washed-up singer will get that movie role he's been craving?
Some velvet mornin' when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
And how she gave me life
And how she made it end
Some velvet mornin' when I'm straight
This sounds like a scene from the Godfather. I wonder why the NYT reporter is so entirely convinced that the horse was butchered for meat.
If I wanted horse meat (for whatever reason), I can't see myself sneaking around an obviously well-tended, wealthy horse stable and picking one of their horses. There are lots of Regular Joe Horses around and it clearly makes so much more sense to pick one of them.
French speaking Haitians...
just a guess :)
It's the character Alan Strang from "Equus."
I don't think the person talking knows what "filet" means. Reading between the line from the TV interview, it sounds like they did pull the loins and the rib roast away from the carcass. That would convince me that it was killed for meat. Anyone who has seen deer or elk butchered in the field would find that pretty strong evidence. Seems like a hard way to get a steak, but who knows...
This is sickening and horribly depressing.
Horse meat is good. Not that I've had it
Horribly expensive cut of meat. Plus it appeared they took the shoulder meat. Jumpers are heavily muscled and they are not good to eat. This seems to be jealously or revenge Not a person that wanted horse meat. It makes no economic sense.
Insurance claim. Taking the meat was just to throw off the investigators.
In Miami, there is (was?, Probably still going on) a serious underground market in kidnapped dogs. There is a large small-boat traffic between Haiti and Miami, consisting of wooden boats without modern power or refrigeration. Entrepreneurs would cruise the neighborhoods and grab dogs, either strays or from yards, and then sell them on the docks to the boat crews. The dogs became the food for the cruises back and forth between Haiti and Miami, since they were less trouble than other food-stuff animals, would eat pretty much anything, etc. Plus they were cheap to obtain, plentiful, easy to find and grab. Leaving a dog out, unattended, in a suburban Miami yard was an invitation to have Rover turned into a seagoing meal or two. In some poor neighborhoods where stray dogs had previously been a problem, one would be hard pressed to find a dog at all any more.
Just one of the unintended consequences of the mess in Haiti and influx of Haitian refugees to South Florida.
Although one hates to generalize, the use of horses in Florida as a food source has mainly been an Hispanic phenomenon.
I had nothing to do with this.
Sounds like something out of a Carl Hiaasen book.

The article says the horse wasn't insured.
Wow! Eddie Willers pulling out the Nancy Sinatra-Lee greenwood ref. Good job!
Where was Tanya Harding on the night in question?
Feel bad for the owner. People form such intimate bonds with their animals, they really are like family. On the other hand, the horse was from France. she may have just delayed its destiny.
Whats worse, this single expensive horse being butchered for meat, or the BLM selling a thousand mustangs to a known horse butcher, against federal law. But they promise totes, that they'll never do it again. Oh, the guy paid $10 a horse, sold them for about $1,000. Nice profit if you can get it. Oh, he was buddies with Ken Salazar. You know Kenny. He was in the Obama Admin. at the BLM.
PS I should have added that shoulders aren't the best piece of meat you can carve off an animal. the tenderloin is located along the spine. That's the choicest. Shoulder meat is little better than stew meat. Next would be hind quarters.

When I saw the name of the horse I had to Google the lyrics of that wonderful, half remembered song. When I saw that I'm gonna open up your gate was the second line, I knew I had to post it.
Here's the video at youtube:
Some Velvet Morning
Not the first time a losing horse was turned into 600 cans of Alpo.
There is a well known black market for horse meat in S. Florida. Google it and see all the stories. There was another show horse killed and butchered for the meat in Hialeah this past July.
It's just our vibrant diversity enjoying what they're missing from the old country.
Illegals, doing jobs Americans won't do.
Those horse fajitas are not simply going to make themselves...
It's an animal. Who gives a fuck?
Lying about killing in Libya is Presidential. Why should killing a horse be a crime?
"It's an animal. Who gives a fuck?"
This comment reveals a lot about you, damikesc. And what it reveals is ugly.

You support slaughtering babies in utero. I support slaughtering horses.

It's not too bad. But the stuff I ate was government canned horsemeat. So it may not be representative.
@damikesc
Too stupid to hold two thoughts at the same time, idiot?
I'm just sick of the lachrymose pity parties over the death of an animal when these same people just think the PP videos are no big deal.
Mrs. Gritzkofe notes that horse and mule are preferred meats for machacado (carne seca). Paucity of fat reduces problem of rancidity in the dried, shredded product; shredding obviates the toughness issue.
Machacado con huevo, salsa picante. Best breakfast tacos you will ever have.
Checking prices on Amazon, $22 for 0.25kg of genuine Mexican carne seca de res (beef).
(Better actually than ham and eggs, grits, coffee.)
Wouldn't you want the meat of a fat, lazy horse and not an athletic show horse?
There was a large open jar of Hellmann's Mayonnaise nearby, with some Swiss cheese and pumpernickel bread.
Scott. You asshole.
