A Horse
.

Horse to a Rancher
Horses require routine hoof care from a farrier, as well
as vaccinations to protect against various diseases,
and dental examinations from a veterinarian or a
specialized equine dentist.[231] If horses are kept inside in a
barn, they require regular daily exercise for their physical
health and mental well-being.[232] When turned outside,
they require well-maintained, sturdy fences to be safely
contained.[233] Regular grooming is also helpful to help the
horse maintain good health of the hair coat and underlying
skin.[234]

Horse to a Carpenter
A saw-horse or sawhorse (saw-buck, trestle, buck)[1] is
a beam with four legs used to support
a board or plank for sawing. A pair of sawhorses can support
a plank, forming a scaffold.[2] In certain circles, it is also
known as a mule and a short sawhorse is known as a
pony.[3] A sawhorse may also be a rack for supporting logs for
sawing, known in the US as a sawbuck.
The sawhorse may be designed to fold for storage. A
sawhorse with a wide top is particularly useful to support a
board for sawing or as a field workbench, and is more useful
as a single, but also more difficult to store.

Horse to a Gymnast
The gymnast swings both legs in a circular motion (clockwise
or counterclockwise depending on preference) and performs
such skills on all parts of the apparatus. To make the exercise
more challenging, gymnasts will often include variations on a
typical circling skill by turning (moores and spindles), by
straddling their legs (Flairs), placing one or both hands on the
pommel or the leather, or moving up and down the horse
placing their hands on the pommel and/or the leather
(travelling). Routines end when the gymnast performs a
dismount, either by swinging his body over the horse or
going through a handstand to land on the mat.
