Based on several authentic hadiths that indicate Muslims about the permissibility of eating horse meat is Halal. Furthermore, Jabir ibn Abdullah reported that during the battle of Khaybar, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)  did not allow us to eat donkey meat but allowed the eating of horse meat. Similarly, Asma bint Abi Bakr mentioned that during the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), they slaughtered a horse and ate as food.

On the other hand, some scholars, including Abu Hanifah and his followers, consider horse meat to be makrohu. They give horse meat makruh opinions based on a Quranic ayat that mentions horses, mules, and donkeys these animals created for riding, and does not mention that we can use them as food.

Additionally, they reference a hadith reported by Khalid ibn al-Walid, which forbids the consumption of horse meat among other animals. However, this hadith is considered weak by many scholars.

Therefore, the predominant view supported by authentic hadiths is that horse meat is halal, while some hold it to be makruh due to weaker evidence. And Allah knows best.
