There are varying definitions for the word "horse" and many different usages over the centuries. I have provided below the most readily thought of definition for the animal known as a "horse" as well as defining "horse" as a verb.

The Oxford-English Dictionary defines "horse" as a noun to mean "a solid-hoofed perissodactyl quadruped (Equus caballus), having a flowing mane and tail, whose voice is a neigh. It is well known in the domestic state as a beast of burdena nd draught, and esp. as used of riding upon."

The word "horse" was used in the past as a verb, meaning "to provide with a horse or horses; to set on horseback." It was used as a verb in the 20th century to mean "to make fun of, to 'rag', to ridicule; to indulge in horseplay; to fool about or around."
