GA:
Golden Apple
GP:
Genetic Potential
The Golden Apple lets you change your horse's coat. Use it to choose a new coat that has been drawn by other Howrse players. Most of them are splendid - go take a look. The Golden Apple can only be used on horses and ponies that are at least 1 year 6 months old. Special coats cannot be given to foals. The Golden Apple takes priority over Medusa's Blood. If you give your horse a horse's Golden Apple and then turn it into a Pegasus, it will keep its Golden Apple coat.
Green Stars or GES:
Green Excellency Stars
Green stars are seen at the bottom of your horse's genetics tab and measure how many skills your horse has when he's born- if your horse has lots of in born skills he'll also have RES, or Red Stars, (Red Excellency Stars) that equal 20 Green ones.
GT or GMT:
Game Time or Green Mountain Time (the GT time zone)
Game Time is the time where the game is run from, it is displayed in military time in the top right corner. Because the game is international it is set up so all the players follow the time from where the game is located.
UPDATE: A recent game update by Howrse allows you to go under my account settings and set the time to the time zone you are in. But you can still have it set to GMT time if you want.

In Born Skills
The skills your horse is born with. You can caulculate it like this:
(GP of mare + GP of stallion) divided by 10 = Z
(BLUP of mare + BLUP of stallion) divided by 200 = Y
Z x Y = IBS
(GP of mare + GP of stallion) divided by 10 = Z
(BLUP of mare + BLUP of stallion) divided by 200 = Y
Z x Y = IBS
MA:
Morpheus' Arms
Morpheus' Arms enable you to put your horse to bed and age him as many times as you want, without consuming aging points. This item can only be used on horses over the age of 3. The effect of Morpheus' Arms stops at the age of 30 for immortal horses. Once they reach this age, the horses can no longer be aged indefinitely. Of course, horses with Morpheus' Arms no longer find aging points.
MB:
Medusa's Blood
Medusa's Blood is a very rare product found deep in the ocean. It is the source of all pegasuses, which are winged horses. Pegasuses can reproduce but their foals will be normal horses. Medusa's Blood can only be used on horses and ponies over the age of 1 year and 6 months. The Golden Apple is dominant over Medusa's Blood. If you give your horse a Golden Apple and then turn it into a Pegasus, it will keep Golden Apple coat.
NIB:
Non Inbred
It means that none of the horses in that horse's lineage were related- NIB breeders use Foundie horses ALOT! I know that it was a big deal when the first NIB horse got 1 Green Star! It was all over the Howrse help blogs and websites...
N. Pack:
Nyx Pack
Nyx, the god of night, lets you improve the performance of one of your horses by giving you the opportunity to age it without aging points, make it immortal and train it twice as fast. In addition to all that, Nyx gives you his star, which lets you wake up your horse at 6 am. instead of at 8 am and thus gives you more time with your horse during the day. This item may be given to horses that are 18 months old or more, and
therefore also allows you to take advantage exceptionally of the Morpheus's Arms between 18 months and 3 years. This way, you won't have to spend aging points or wait for the daily aging.

A Horse whom is not purebred.
PB:

A horse who IS purebred.
PM:
Private Message or Player Message
PM me means message me- PM is a kind of messaging other players.
POC or PoC:
Piece of Cloud
A Piece of Cloud is something priceless due to its rarity and its fragility. The power of this piece of sky is incomparable since it enables you to go back in time. By giving a Piece of Cloud to your horse, it will become 4 months younger and you will receive 2 aging points! Please note that this item does not age, it does not change the history of actions. If you give a Piece of Cloud at 4pm, your horse will become 4 months' younger but it will still be 4pm in its day. It is therefore recommended you not to give the Piece of Cloud to your horse too late or you will not be able to put your horse to bed and age him. The Piece of Cloud does not change the energy, health or morale of the horse. A single Piece of Cloud can only be used once. So as not to disrupt the time cycle, you can only give the same horse twenty Pieces of Cloud. Beyond that, the temporal return may no longer be able to be
controlled and the horse may disappear as this evanescent item plays with powerful forces! It can only be given to horses and ponies over the age of 5; before this age it could disrupt their growth.

P. Stone:
Philosipher's Stone
The Philosopher's Stone gives immortality to the horse of your choice! As it is an extremely rare stone, its price is therefore prohibitive. Immortal horses can reproduce throughout their life. Immortality is not passed down to foals, as it is solely for the horse on which it is applied.
RC:
Retired Coat
Retired Coats refer to horses that have Golden Apple coats that have been retired and are no longer available for use with the Golden Apple. If a horse has a retired coat, it is normally worth more than a horse with the same skills but with a non retired GA coat or a non GA coat. Many player also collect RC horses.
Special:
A Horse released only through special promos or through certain circumstances- click here for the Divines & Specials page to learn more!
WOY or WoY:
Water of Youth
Water of Youth does not make your horse younger but makes him get older month by month instead of two months at each time. Thus, your horse gets older less quickly and lives longer! Water of Youth will not increase the learning capacity of your horse but it will enable you to take care of him twice longer and if you have a stallion, it will allow twice as many covering offers. This object can be put on horses at 2 years old.
ZLB:
Zeus' Lightening Bolt
Zeus' Lightning Bolt enables you to change the gender of your horses. Mares in gestation cannot benefit from this item. Geldings will not become reproductive-capable mares with Zeus' Lightning Bolt.
