Horse... okay... distant cousin, perhaps, of the reindeer... at least it wasn't HORSIE!
And once again my comment is pushed to the next page and it looks like crazy talk. I'm gonna have to start counting comments so this doesn't happen so much, ha!
Lol.

Horse and knight same thing geez. You get what I mean....
If any of you play timed bughouse, just make your horse go back and forth for the first few moves to make your opponent lose on time and then they get real desperate and lose their queens
No. The Knight is NOT a horse. It is represented by a horse's head because that is what Knights ride. Maybe I should start calling my Knights Stallions to add a little more manliness to game. Yeah, that sounds good. "My Stallions are gonna take your Queen down! And then your castles are next! And I'm not worried about your little ponds; they can't do anything anyway."
Sorry about that. When ever I hear about a chess player calling a Knight a "horse", I snap. I was playing a guy recently, a beginner, and I was being nice and presenting simple tactics to help him learn. Then, he called my Knights "horses." That is when the gloves came of. I forked at every opportunity and even got him in a royal fork. every time, I anounced, "Knight's fork."
Finally, he asked, "Why 'Knight's' fork?"
I said, "Because a Knight is one doing it." I won the game with both Knights and couple of pawns. Nothing to brag about, though.

I know people who are good chess players, but still call knights "horses" and don't care when I correct them. It irks me as calling knight "horses" is a classic non-chesser mistake.

I've got a shirt that says "It's not a horsie, it's a knight!" When I remember I wear it on Chess Club days. But when I don't, I guarantee you that I still call a knight a knight!

Those people are gone now because akafett found them. lol. Just kidding 
<3 you guys
I like the Hungarian word for the knight, which I believe is 'hussar'.
@Dragonair Akafett is a bounty hunter; he took care of them adequately.
Does a bounty hunter ride a H O R S E ? ?

I ride this:
People eventually found out how to beat my "knight moving back and forth" ( It's not hard)
I didn't realize it and then I got checkmated lol don't care because it was for the LOLs
But then I went on attack mode and my opponent's had a king and a pawn at the end and I had all the bishops, knights, and rooks but I didn't drop them because I just didn't feel like dropping them
Nice ride, akafett! How much HORSEpower she got???!!??

Knighty-million pounds of thrust!
I play bughouse every day ...
And so today, here is what happened:
I played LRaiga in bughouse and I had a really bad partner but it was OK with me.
In the beginning, I moved my horse and then put it back on the next move and kept on repeating that. Ten moves later, my clock says I only lost 5 seconds and my opponent lost 1:30 minutes. Then I let him have my queen.
And then I did the horse back and forth thing a few more times just to make him lose more time. And by the end, he had 1 move left before check mating me but he lost on time. Tee hee
