I wanna eat horse!
I could call up horse farms one by one and ask them if they had any meat to spare, but I don’t think that would get me very far. I never see horse in the grocery store, even the more exotic meat markets.
Where could I get horse in the Midwestern U.S.?
I think most Outback steaks are actually horsemeat.

“Roadtrip!” 
You can get it from German E-bay, of course!
Fresh Horsemeat, Canned Horsemeat, Horse Ham, Horse Sausage…
(Pferde is German for Horse, so pretty much anything with Pferde in it is a horse product.)
Dunno if they have horse meat (or if it’s even legal in Boston), but I know that I’ve seen exotic game meats at Savenor’s Market on Charles Street (and now apparently on Kirkland St. in Cambridge):
I know I’ve seen zebra meat there in the past. No joke.
There’s nothing wrong with horse meat, by the way, and it’s not necessarily tough or gamey. It’s reportedly sweeter than beef. Marvin Harris devoted an entire chapter to the eating and taboos on horsemeat, with interesting speculation on the origins of those taboos, in his book Good to Eat (AKA The Sacred Cow and the Abominable Pig).
Try Quebec - much closer than Paris!
Trigger. He’s what’s for dinner.

I LOVE that there’s a button at the top that says “Mein Ebay.”
Although beef is usually used nowadays, sauerbraten was traditionally made with horsemeat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauerbraten

I believe you could slather some of your dog’s food on a cracker to ease into the flavor.

I’ve tried the German horse sausage. A tip: try something else.

By the way, the two Texas slaughterhouses are Dallas Crown Packing of Kaufman and Beltex Corp. of Fort Worth.
Go to the Kentucky Derby. Wait out back.
Just seven states — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ohio and Virginia — allow horse meat’s sale domestically.
I’ve had horse meat sashimi in Japan. I don’t recommed it.
When my uncle was raising a pair of otters for research, he fed them canned ground horsemeat. He said he got it through a pet store. (In the US, you can buy horsemeat if it isn’t for human food.)
There are some loopholes. For example, you can’t sell horsemeat for human consumption. However, a meat processing house can butcher horses if customers bring them in. If you just charge a processing fee and give the meat back to the horses owner, no law is broken. It’s just like butchering a deer. There are weekly horse auctions. Lame horses and dangerous horses are sold cheaply there. Some of them go to rendering plants (to become petfood and glue,) but some are butchered for home use. Many a farmer has gotten his family through a lean winter on horsemeat.
So, if you want to try horsemeat, start at a big pet store. Then, ask around among farmers. You might find one who will informally sell you a couple of steaks.
I personally have no moral qualms about people eating horsemeat.
Yes, I’ve tried the Garden variety Pferdewurst too. You’re right, not that great. Whether or not it was the sausage recipe or the actual horseflesh, I’m not entirely sure, but it was a very red and a very sweet sausage, not my cup of tea.
The Horse Ham and Horse Salami looks like it might be a better choice.
