This explains how to add an image to the wiki which is different from adding an image to your horse.

Upload The Image

In order to add an image to a wiki page you must first upload the image.

Display The Image

Once the image has been uploaded you can insert it on any page. To do that you must enter the two square brackets, then the word File: then the name and extension of the file you uploaded, and then two closing square brackets.

[[File:file_name_here.file_extension]]

Let's say I've uploaded a file and named it horse12345.jpg.

Show Entire Image

[[File:horse12345.jpg]]

Show Thumbnail Left

[[File:horse12345.jpg|200px|thumb|left|this is my horse to the left]]

Show Thumbnail Right

[[File:horse12345.jpg|200px|thumb|right|this is my horse to the right]]

Link To Image Instead

Sometimes you would rather link to the image than display a thumbnail or show the whole thing on the screen. To do this you would use the word Media: instead of the word File. This tells the wiki that you don't want to display the image but you still want people to have access to it.
