I have eaten horse many times in Mexico and it was always very lean, unusually soft but not stringy and sweet. They grill it marinated in many spices. Puerto Morales and Playa del Carmen is most always the area we stay in and many of our Canadian friends stay most all of the winter.
Canadians eat a lot of horsemeat and the Quebec area with it's historic district has many restaurants that serve horse and a lot of it. Most all butchers and super market chains in large Canadian cities sell it. You see it. Their long history of eating horse does date back to the French. Some of it I have eaten in French cuisine is a little tough as they do it sauteed or fried with a lot of sauces. My good Mexican friends are wonderful people and cooks as their spicy smoky grilling of it was good.
