You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.

Travelling by shanks' pony.

Oh, and this one, for when you're buying a horse:

One white foot, buy him.
Two white feet, try him.
Three white feet, look well about him.
Four white feet, go home without him.

[Thunderbird+]

A horse of a different color.

There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man. ~Winston Churchill

(My Favorite)
In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. Eleven-hundred pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs - it's something you just can't get from a pet hamster. ~Author Unknown

From Wakan-Tanka, the Great Mystery, comes all power. It is from Wakan-Tanka that the holy man has wisdom and the power to heal and make holy charms. Man knows that all healing plants are given by Wakan-Tanka, therefore they are holy. So too is the mo'�hėno'ha (horse) holy, because it is the gift of Wakan-Tanka. ~Maza Blaska Oglala Sioux Chief.

This is the song from "Father Ted"

"My Lovely Horse"

"My Lovely Horse
Running through the.. field
Where are you going
With your fetlocks blowing
In the... wind

I want to shower you with sugar lumps
And ride you over...fences
I want to polish your hooves every single day
And bring you to the horse... dentist

My lovely horse
You're a pony no... more
Running around
With a man on your back
Like a train in the night
Like a train in the... (hang on I can get this)... night!

[andy-hughes]

You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead.

You can lead a horse to water, but if you can make it float on its back, you've really got something!

You can call an ass a horse, but it doesn't shorten its ears!

[MatydaLover]

From the desert I come to thee
On a stallion shod with fire;
And the winds are left behind
In the speed of my desire.

[Richkent]

There is also this lovely poem that's read every year at the end of the Horse of the Year show:

Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride,
Friendship without envy,
Or beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is served with muscle
And strength by gentleness confined
He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent.
There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.
England's past has been borne on his back.
All our history is in his industry.
We are his heirs, he our inheritance.

[cheries]

I think there's a saying that goes along the lines of "You can train a horse, reason with a donkey and barter with a mule"....hence the saying "stubborn as a mule". Unless you have my horse, who is the most stubborn creature on the Earth.

"What it comes down to is that anybody can win with the best horse. What makes you good is if you can take the second or third-best horse and win." Aragon, Vicky
