The term 'nag' to describe a horse originally meant a small horse trained for riding and can be traced back to fifteenth-century English, though it probably goes back further. There's a similar Dutch word in use about that time, but it's unlikely the English word comes from the Dutch; more probably both terms come from another (unknown) source.
'Nag' later came to mean just an old, or worn-out, horse.
