a thin horse has long hair,what does this proverb mean?

a horse has two protections from cold, long hair and fat. I guess that the proverb means something to the effect of "there is always a way" or maybe we always have the means to cope with adversity?

Horse heigh is measured in "hands"\n\nA "Hand" is a unit of measure equal to 4 inches, used to measure the height of a horse at the highest point of the withers. The number of whole hands is properly followed by a period, then the remaining height in inches. Thus a horse who measures 5 feet and two inches at the withers would be designated "15.2 hands". \n\nFrom the following image ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Horse_parts.jpg ) you can see that the withers are just at the base of the horse's neck.\n\nThe size of horses varies, depending on the breed. The cutoff in height between what is considered a horse and a pony is generally 14.2 hands, though some smaller horse breeds are considered "horses" regardless of height. Light horses such as Arabians, Morgans, Quarter Horses, Paints and Thoroughbreds usually range in height from 14.0 to 17.0 hands and can weigh up to 1300lbs. Heavy or draft horses such as the Clydesdale, Belgian, Percheron, and Shire are usually at least 16.0 hands tall and can weigh up to 2000lbs. Ponies are no taller than 14.2 hands, but can be much smaller, down to the miniature horse, which can be the size of a large dog.

It's a Chinese proverb you're thinking of. You've almost got it right. The correct version is:\n\n"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

I'm not positive on this, but I would guess its because some horses require more heat than others. Lets say that you had one horse that had very thick, long hair during the winter and you had another breed that didn't. Maybe the breed with the thick, long hair had to adapt to your climate.

Hair\n\nby Jeffrey W. Hamilton\n\n"Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering." I Corinthians 11:14-15\n\nHave you stopped and wonder why some men insist on wearing their hair long? Back during the 1960s, when long hair became very popular among the nation's youth, a leader in this movement made this statement:\n\n"Young kids identify short hair with authority, discipline, unhappiness, boredom, rigidity, hatred of life - and long hair with letting go. Wherever we go, our long hair tells people where we stand on Vietnam, Wallace, campus disruptions, dope. We're living commercials for the revolution. Long hair is the beginning of our liberation from the sexual oppression that underlies the whole military society."\n\nIn other words, Jerry Rubin, who made this statement, believes that his long hair was a symbol of his rejection of society and moral living. Now, I'm not implying that every male who wears his hair long has the same intentions, but he is identifying himself with people who do not agree with God's moral law.\n\nThe verses that are quoted above were written by the apostle Paul. It seems to be very clear, but many questions do come up. Like, how long is long? Is anything longer than a crew cut shameful? Or can we consider hair cut about shoulder's length short?\n\n"Short" or "long" are relative terms. God is not dictating a specific length of hair. Instead, he is insisting that the prevailing hair styles among men is to be shorter than the prevailing hair styles among women. Since the beginning of time, God expected a distinction to be made between the sexes. For example, in the law of Moses, God said "A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this." (Deuteronomy 22:5) Other than articles of clothing, the relative length of hair is the most distinctive difference between men and women. If the hair on a man leaves you wondering whether the person is a he or a she, then the hair is too long.\n\nYour deliberate misrepresentation of Biblical verse is foolish.  You confuse different eras, apply standards of different cultures to each other when they are not comparable, and give the same tired argument that "It's in the Bible, therefore you're wrong because you don't do it just like that and thus all Christianity is wrong".\n\nWhat a childish rant.  Pulling out a few quotes from the Bible has certainly NOT made you a scholar.

Because horses don't have feathers, so you are comparing whatever-it-is to something that doesn't exist.  \nPurple cows? Horse feathers!

As the cowboy said when the  horse he was riding \nalmost stepped on the magic snake, ( who in reality was a genie). The snake granted him one wish for not killing him. The cowboy said " I want to be hung like this here horse i'm a riding". afterward he realized he was riding the mare that day.

Horses have hair.  Depending on the climate, an Arabian horse will grow a substantial winter coat.\n\nIf you compare an Arabian living in California, with one living in Montana, you can visibly see the difference in their winter coats.

Please don't teach your 20 year old horse anything.  It's like teaching your 97 year old grandmother to play football, lol.  Just walk it, feed it and groom it.   "Horse sense"
