About Horse milk

Horse milk is milk produced by a mare. It is a fluid dairy food with a pale, opaque appearance and a mild, lightly sweet flavour; its texture is generally thinner than that of many familiar cow-milk products.

It may be consumed fresh or processed, including by fermentation in some food traditions. Fresh milk, fermented products, and dried or otherwise concentrated forms differ substantially, and the name alone does not specify which form is meant.
