horsehead
Mounted equine trophy
Horsehead refers to anything shaped like a horse's head.
In oil drilling, a horsehead is the pivoting beam on a pump jack—the curved metal piece that rocks up and down to extract oil from wells.
The Horsehead Nebula is a dark cloud of gas and dust in the constellation Orion, its silhouette resembling a horse's profile against brighter background stars.
