Steppe Horse Archery

[Nick Harbud]

Is there any etiquette associated with such nomadic roadkill?  I mean, is one allowed to partake of one's own steed that has died under one?  Can you eat any horse you have just killed? Or is it only those nags killed by others that suitable ingredients for the cooking pot?

It is important to know about such things when faced with a Mongol warrior or similar psychotic who might take matters sufficiently personally as to kill the transgressor.

[Erpingham]

Almost certainly such things would be covered by social convention in modern steppe societies.  I doubt, however, we have the evidence on such things in terms of ancient peoples.  However, several members have an interest in such peoples and have studied writings both Eastern and Western describing these societies and may know the answers.

undoubtedly....

it depends on whether the horse was venerated highly and thus not allowed to be eaten or viewed as a 'complete package' ie transport and mobile larder in one
