The phrase about horses is actually, "That is a horse of a different color," not feather. The feather animal phrase is, "That is a bird of a different feather."

They are different species and have different characteristics like color and live in different areas.
Great phrase. When someone says, that's a horse of a different color what they are saying is, that's a different subject all together.A horse of a different color just means you have suddenly found a new way of looking at something. If you have one horse, and you're familiar with that horse, you might think you know about all horses - until you see a horse that looks different from yours! In the same way, when you start thinking you know all about something and then someone brings up a surprising fact or soemthing you'd forgotten about - you say, "Well THAT is a horse of a different color!"It means that whatever is being talked about is an entirely different matter than what it is being compared to. It means that the subject is different from whatever it is being compared to.
