I wonder why it's so popular? I gotta say, it's difficult to imagine horses being more economical to raise than cattle.

I honestly don't know. Climate? Geography? Forage?
The flavor is not bad at all and the quality can be very good in some countries, so I can see why people eat it. I think they are economical as a side effect of population rather than being raised specifically for meat i.e. we raise a lot of horses in this world not necessarily for meat and they have to be disposed of somehow.
