Based on the given information, it is not possible to determine the exact motion of the horse as there is no graph provided. Therefore, it is not possible to determine which statement is true about the horse's motion.
To determine the answer, we need to analyze the graph provided.
If the graph shows the position of the horse over time, we can look at the slope of the graph to determine the horse's velocity. A constant slope indicates a constant velocity, while a changing slope indicates a changing velocity.
