Forums » Smalltalk » What is the opposite of a horse?

Genuine answers only please.
I am bringing this question to the masses to try and think out an actual answer.
My darling boyfriend and I where talking about mythical creatures and the topic of Alcorn's turned into a discussion of what the opposite of a horse would be, according to google it's a feild mouse.

What is the opposite of a horse?

I hadn't considered that 🤔
To me it's an electric eel.

I’m not much of a horse person, but I know they are largely defined by their speed and strength. I also know that they are evolutionary screwed by their 1-toed hoof. Like it’s insane they hold up hundreds of pounds balancing on what is essentially 4 toes.

So the opposite would probably be something small, evolutionarily ‘successful’, and slow.

You know what slow, small creature hasn’t significantly changed in 480 million years? Horseshoe crab.

It has horse in the name, ironically, but perhaps it is fate.
An esroh of course
More seriously, I think a snake maybe?

There are a few opposites to a horse:

If you talk about capabilities: a horse is quick, strong, enduring and made to flee; opposite : a sloth is slow, weak, soft and docile (fights with claws)

If you talk about demeanor: a horse is loyal and finishes its work; opposite : a human (no further comment)

If you talk about structure: a horse is a vertebrate animal; opposite is an invertebrate animal, mollusk, worms...

If you talk about esthetics: a horse is elegant, lean, and well proportioned (defined measurements); opposite: warthog, do I have to explain ;)

If you talk about equine as group: a horse is a fleeing prey animal; opposite: any predator

You can add a horse's senses: a horse has rather poor sight but at 310°, rather good smell, quite accurate hearing and a relatively very good taste, opposite maybe an eagle or falcon, super precise view, poor smell, less accurate hearing (human-like) and taste unknown

Thank you!
Strictly creatures?
I genuinely want to suggest Bicycle. Or go even further into an object that does not move.

No that bicycle is the opposite of the donkey, in German called Drahtesel literate translation : Wiredonkey
If it’s the opposite of horse for transportation it’s the tractor, with x horsepowers. Even the train drives on rails of given width because of the horse. That’s no joke.😉
NO I GOT IT! CLEARLY THE OPPOSITE O0F A MAJESTIC STRONG LIVING LORGE BEAST WITH FOUR LEGS TEETH LIKE PEOPLE AND WALKS AROUND ON THIER TOESNAILS WOULD BE....
