Slang for 'horse'

[Festive_Felicitations]

Just out of curiosity, if you know the origin of the word I would love to hear it.

I know:
Nag(s)
Bobos - I think this is a Grantham/Linconshire term

Does anybody know any others?

Don't know. I can tell you that the term 'a hack', as a name for a horse probably comes from the Spanish word 'jaca' (pronounced hacker) which is really a pony (less than 150cm) but is now used to describe a gelding of any size.

"A hideously expensive way to turn £10 notes into fertiliser" - I believe the origins of this slang are from the darkest recesses of my husband's brain.
