emoticon "horsey" what does that mean?

@Eleuthero it's pretty funny how you didn't give him an answer either. Personally I don't think it has a specific meaning. Horsey transcends simple definition.

This is just a horsey passing by.

Boy, that Eleuthero's a fun date.

And I'd say Julia Roberts is pretty horsey-looking.

@HotdogMcFlip1 Personally I don't think it has any meaning (except maybe to a buncha bored kids at the cafeteria). It's beneath definition.

The concept of horsey is spiritual: To understand horsey you need to understand life itself and its meaning.

@HotdogMcFlip1

I failed to give an explanation of the horsey icon because I have no clue what it means. However, what I didn't do was belittle the original poster for merely asking the question.

Honest answer:

"This post embodies the spirit of chess."

@MrPushwood

I'm a hell of a lot better "date" than the illiterati here. I can talk about science, literature, medicine, history, and music among many other topics.

You're a National Master but, as so often, this means very, very little about broad-based intelligence or perception of intelligence. I've also had a life which, in its broadest meanings, chess players have very little of. I bet that a rather small minority of people on this site are parents or spouses. Chess players are generally social maladepts.

Maybe it means nothing, just a random emoticon that people click because they like it. Some kind of funny and light hearted counterpoint to the very exercise of playing chess, which demands thinking and sometimes awakes nasty instincts, as was said before.
