The American Shetland Pony Club Salutes Hong Kong
In a gesture of goodwill, the American Shetland Pony Club is sending a gift of two American Shetland Ponies to the Hong Kong Equestrian Federation to salute their efforts in hosting the 2008 Equestrian Olympics. The two Shetland riding ponies are currently in quarantine in Lexington, Kentucky awaiting their flight to Hong Kong scheduled for June 6th. The two show ponies will fly from Chicago to Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Equestrian Federation (HKEF) will host a special presentation ceremony on July 10th in Hong Kong to receive the ponies.

They're goodwill gifts, wouldn't it be in bad taste (no pun intended) to eat the ponies?

The Chinese typically don't eat horse as it's too expensive of a meat and they are seen as 'working animals'. You'd see more horse meat eating in Europe and Japan. They do eat donkey though. The common meats are still dogs, cows/water buffalo, chicken, civet cats, pigs, and certain insects. Oh and can't forget the sea food!
