Corrected grammar and punctuation and removed a reference to the Jewish community due to redundancy (there is a paragraph specifically dedicated to Jewish dietary law later in the section) and lack of clarity (Jews who don’t keep kosher may consume horse)

In Veneto, the consumption of horse meat dates back to at least 1000 BC/[[BCE]] to the [[Adriatic Veneti]], renowned for their horse-breeding skills. They were used to sacrifice horses to their goddess [[Reitia]] or to the mythical hero [[Diomedes]].<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=O7z4Sl-SgFEC |title=The Latin Language - Leonard Robert Palmer - Google Libri |access-date=February 9, 2014 |isbn=9780806121369 |year=1988 |last1=Palmer |first1=Leonard Robert |publisher=University of Oklahoma Press |archive-date=September 18, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200918224626/https://books.google.com/books?id=O7z4Sl-SgFEC |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hx7UigqsTKoC&q=runic+amulets+and+magic+objects&pg=PA1 |title=Runic Amulets and Magic Objects - Mindy MacLeod, Bernard Mees - Google Books |access-date=February 9, 2014 |isbn=9781843832058 |year=2006 |last1=MacLeod |first1=Mindy |last2=Mees |first2=Bernard |publisher=Boydell Press |archive-date=September 18, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200918224629/https://books.google.com/books?id=hx7UigqsTKoC&pg=PA1&lpg=PA1&dq=runic+amulets+and+magic+objects |url-status=live }}</ref> Throughout the classical period, Veneto established itself as a centre for horse breeding in Italy; Venetian horses were provided for the cavalry and carriage of the [[Roman legion]]s, with the white Venetic horses becoming famous among Greeks and Romans as one of the best breeds for [[circus]] racing.<ref>An early History of Horsemanship by Augusto Azzaroli. Brill 1985. p 135-138</ref> As well as breeding horses for military and farming applications, the Venetics also used them for consumption throughout the Roman period, a practice that established the consumption of horse meat as a tradition in [[Venetian cuisine]]. In the modern age, horse meat is considered a luxury item and is widely available through supermarkets and butcheries, with some specialised butcheries offering only selected cuts of equine meat. Prices are usually higher than beef, pork, or any other kind of meat, except game.
