Comparision of German and English
   

Hallo,

I want to compare the German and English words for "horse". In German one have lots of words for special kinds of horses. Here is a list with all I've founded:

normal horse: Pferd
literary expression: Ross
male horse: Hengst
castrated male horse: Walach
female horse: Stute
child of a horse: Fohlen or Füllen
blake horse: Rappen
white horse: Schimmel
old and expenditure-lived horse: Mähre
(old) horse: Gaul
expenditure-lived horse: Klepper
child-linguistically: Hottehü

Please give me all English expressions for horse you find.

English expressions for horses? Hrm...

Female horse: Mare
Adult male horse: Stallion
Young male horse: Colt
Small breeds of horses: Pony
American feral horse: Mustang

Those are all the ones I can think of at the moment. If I think of any more, then I'll post them.

Streitross - destrier or war horse
Ackergaul - farm horse, cart horse
Zugpferd - draft horse
Vollblut - thoroughbred
Fuchs - sorrel

Falbe - dun horse
Apfelschimmel - dapple-gray horse
Schecke - piebald (black and white) or skewbald (brown and white), Tobiano, Overo, Sabino... (referring to patterns instead of colors)

Can't think of any other expressions right now.
EDIT I hate typos.
