One might indeed eat horse. Horses, however, are too much for one to eat.

In an ideal world, that would be true, IMO. I mean, we generally don't eat dogs. What makes horses any different? They're not as cute?

I wouldn't have a problem eating either... What makes dogs and horses different from cows or chicken or fish?

Dogs are carnivores. Raising carnivores just for meat consumption is an unnecessary waste of resources for no additional gain, because you also need to spend resources on raising the prey they eat.
Also I beg you pardon, horses are very cute. :v
Yes, the "d" on the end on the end of "mand" applys a "stød" or the glottal stop. So the word ends abruptly instead of being dragged on. Its the same in "hun" and "hund".
To my knowledge we don't have the glottal stop in English, but an example is when spelling "be" its b' e' there's a cut off between the letters.
I'm a native speaker English but this is what I've learned so far, hope it helps!

Don't get confused with the Danish "mand", meaning "man" in English. The Danish "man" translates to English as "one" or "you". For example: "One is surprised" or "You are surprised" = "Man er overrasket".
The English "you" in this case is being used for people generally and not personally.
