Abstract
This thesis focuses on horse idioms featured in the English and Croatian language. It starts off with an introduction that deals with idioms in general, their usage and types. Subsequently, there is an overview of cultural influence that the horse has had on humanity and its development. In the past, it served not only as an indicator of wealth and social status, but also a symbol of fertility. When it comes to horse idioms, there is an abundance of them in the English language. They originate from history, horse racing and typical horse characteristics. The Croatian language has two times fewer idioms and some of them are translated versions of the English ones, while others might be originally Croatian. The analysis of idioms in each language is divided into four sections: horse as the idiom component in both languages, horse as the component in one language and another animal in the other, horse as the component in one language and idioms that do not contain an animal in the other and horse as the component in one language with no idiom equivalent in the other.
