Yearling

A tier

Yearling horse meat bridges foal delicacy and mature cheval—animals around one to two years with good size yet still tender muscle. Markets in Europe and Central Asia use this class for steaks and roasting joints. Colour deepens versus foal; flavour stays sweeter and cleaner than old work horse. Ideal for French steak de cheval and similar preparations needing a full portion size with fine texture.
