The "horsey set" refers to a social group or community of people who are deeply involved in horse-related activities, especially horse racing, polo, hunting, and equestrian sports. It suggests wealth, social status, and a shared passion for horses. It’s more specific than just "horse lovers"; it implies a lifestyle. Think of it as the equestrian equivalent of a country club.
The term evolved from the association of horses with the upper classes who traditionally participated in equestrian activities. The word "horsey" describes someone interested in horses, and "set" refers to a particular social group. The phrase gained prominence in the early 20th century to describe wealthy enthusiasts.
