Hazrat Abu Umar al-Shaybani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from an Ansari that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The horse is of three kinds. One is the horse that is kept for jihad; its price is a reward, riding it is a reward, renting it is a reward, and feeding it is a reward. The second is the horse that is kept for gambling; its price is a burden, feeding it is a burden, and riding it is a burden. And the third is the horse that is kept for livelihood; so it is likely that it will protect him from poverty, if Allah wills.
