I wonder if it is the best understanding for you or even a good understanding. 
What are biological non-horses for you: kittens, beetles, sharks, and so on? 
So if you were trying to understand the spov 'horse' & all you understood 
was that it was the opposite of kitten, beetle, shark and so on, 
would you have your current u nderstanding of 'horse'?  I say no .
