During the Ice ages (there have ben more than one) our ancestors regularly hunted horse. They are one of the most represented animals in cave art and their bones are found at nearly all sites. We've ben eating them for the last 40,000 years I don't see any reason to stop. Horses will probably be one of the most common animals if we descend back to a pre industrial world and will fare a lot better than highly domesticated cattle.
