HORSE

Spell-out shooting game

A horse is a large four-legged mammal domesticated for riding, pulling loads, and farm work.

Horses have been central to human transportation and warfare for millennia.

The word extends to related equipment: a sawhorse, a pommel horse in gymnastics.

To horse around is to engage in rough play.

Straight from the horse's mouth means from a reliable source.

Hold your horses means wait or slow down.
