I just got on the computer to get the same answer -- about horses, as they just said it on TVG. Apparently, it means that the horse is running brilliantly -- although I still don't understand the derivation of the term. These announcers pick up a new saying and can't stop using it. :)
Both could be used in different situations: The horse ran fastest of all the horses in the race. The horse ran faster than all of the other horses. When the man, the horse and the dog ran, the horse ran fastest. The horse ran faster than the man and the dog.
They say he got ran over by a horse
Which lights are lit? What do they say? There are many warning lights
It means they are frightened
saying the horse's legs are down may mean that the horse is lame, or that the slope of the pasterns is incorrect.
It means when a horse answers .. or rather reacts to something you say to it. EX ; "Go!" .. *horse trots* it is rather simple or .. sophistacated if you will.
It means that there is nothing wrong with the horse's hooves. A horse is not sound if it has thrush, wind puffs, etc.
A horse that has one parent that is wild or some people say A domesticated horse that has become wild againThis can mean that the horse will let you pet or brush it but may not let you ride it.
A blacksmith or farrier. They make horseshoes as well as put them on the horse. This is what people mean when buying a horse they say 'does the horse stand for the blacksmith/farrier?'
Soundness in horses means that the horse does not hav any leg problems. If a horse is limping one would say the horse is unsound.
ugly
It's what you say to a horse when you want it to start moving.
