Rigveda
Horse used as a comparison figure for the gods' fitting allotment.
Both gods, growing in power through the days for the mortal, undeceived — even what is fitting do they set before him, like the two gods setting the portion for the steed.
Sāmaveda
Horses/steeds appearing as ritual objects of care and as Indra's/the deity's recurring epithet 'of the bay steeds'.
For him of the bay steeds lay down the sacred grass together with the pressings.
Come to our pressed soma with thy bay steeds, for the great battle-joy and for sight.
Indra, the slayer of Vṛtra, of hundredfold wisdom, who knows both worlds — come to our pressed soma with thy bay steeds.
