When they can not come to a unanimous decision. I think it would refer to being hung up as in going over a fence or similar. Being caught in the middle and not being able to go one way or the other.
The judge will usually instruct them to continue deliberating. Depending upon the length, the expense and/or the difficulty of the trial, the judge may encourage the jury to resume deliberations for a longer rather than a shorter time. Once the judge determines that jury is still hung then the judge will declare a mistrial. In a criminal case, it will then be up to the prosecution to determine whether to retry the case or drop the charges.
A retrial after a mistrial is declared does not constitute double jeopardy (i.e., trying someone twice for the same crime). In theory, the defendant could be retried unlimited times until a verdict is reached. In practice, it would depend on the breakdown of the vote at the time of deadlock. For example, if a case is deadlocked 11-1 in favor of conviction, it would be more likely that the prosecutor would seek a retrial than if the case were 11-1 in favor of acquittal.

There is no such expression as a "jury is hung like a horse." When a jury is hung, it means they are unable to reach a unanimous decision. There may be one juror that disagrees with the majority, the members of the jury divided 50/50 on which way to go, or they may be split somewhere in between. When a person is said to be "hung like a horse" it refers to his anatomy.
A hung jury occurs when the members cannot reach a unanimous verdict. In such cases, the judge may declare a mistrial, and the case may be retried with a new jury.
