Horse ::
Horse (n.) A
hoofed quadruped of the genus
Equus; especially, the
domestic horse (E.
caballus), which was
domesticated in Egypt and Asia at a very early
period. It has six broad
molars, on each side of each jaw, with six
incisors, and two
canine teeth, both above and
below. The mares
usually have the
canine teeth
rudimentary or
wanting. The horse
differs from the true
asses, in
having a long,
flowing mane, and the tail bushy to the base.
Unlike the asses it has
callosities, or
chestnuts, on all
