This is a tough one. Americans love our horses almost as much as our dogs. (Dogs get the edge in my book because I've never seen a lap-equine.) It's a good thing that horses won't have to be exported to countries without standards anymore. There will undoubtedly be price benefits for consumers on certain products. On the other hand this will also likely make it again more profitable to raise horses with the intention of slaughtering them.
If you are interested in helping horses stay away from the slaughter houses, there appear to be many organizations dedicated to horse welfare.
