Why “horselore” is a great word

HORSELORE — [Noun] The body of traditional knowledge, folklore, and practical wisdom concerning the behavior, management, and traditions of horses. From horse + lore (meaning "learning, knowledge, tradition"). Unlike "horsemanship," which denotes the cultivated skill of riding and handling, or "equine science," which refers to formal biological study, horselore is the informal corpus of lived experience. It is the old groom's trick for calming a spooked animal with a murmur, the weather-prediction based on a coat's thickness, and the ballad of a spectral steed haunting a crossroads at dusk—the quiet, accumulated testament of generations drawn not in data but in shared breath.
