8 - The expression "lame duck"
Designates the raising of the horse's flanks whose breathing is obstructed by emphysema
Comes from the fact that the soldiers aimed at the horse's flank in calvalry times

Comes from the fact that horses suffering from emphysema, in the age of cavalry, were considered as "good for nothing"
Answers:
I can only tell you that the constellation in number 4 is named Pegasus. ^^"
It looks like a box with legs.
About the others, I am no horse-rider/owner, so I can't help... But I would be strongly oriented to answer in question number 1 that you should respect the highway code.
You gotta respect it with cars, motorcycles, scooters even with your bicycle or a horse carriage... so...
