Could be, Why not ?

The concept of respect ones steed/chariot/flag is (from a warrior aspect) deeply entrenched in the cultural traditions of Hindustan. Especially as they (as living creatures) ride in to war with warriors and can attain injury and death as well, thus their lives are also being put at risk, which is why they are given such veneration.

From an ascetic perspective (and indeed that of a householder), horses can be put to work, whilst understanding that they also have souls.

@kuldipk123 - please try not to get unnecessarily triggered. It does not strengthen your position nor does it help in any way. Even if you sense some underlying deceit, please try and stick to thr question. Thank you

Most mature response to my question, a follow up now. Does Sikhi or even Hinduism whether you know or not tell you whether or not when you reincarnate in to whatever if you are aware that you were once a human or something else?

In short, no. However, there have been instances where the Gurus and saints have blessed people with that knowledge

Thanks. Does Sikhi in any way, shape or form venerate the cow over other animals, if yes then why?

The concept of God permeating his creation means that, even though we worship him in his transcendal form (never changing, everlasting, Nirgun), we also worship him in his non transcended form (attributive, permeates creation, Sargun). This is just as a base understanding (without digressing from the original point).

And the concept of respecting the cow is indeed a "Bhartiya" tradition, as we derive milk from them etc. All cultures will hold certain animals above others (and in some cases, have special distain for other animals) based on their religious or cultural traditions. 

That being said, whilst the respect for all life is there, there is no special veneration for the cow as such.

All the nihangs say that when they read gurbani sitting near to their horse, the horse quietly listens to the bani.

God bless horses!

Lol. They are beings with a soul too. Animals can also sense the Truth presence as we can.

Do you have evidence that those horses were not Sikhs in their past life? Do you believe in reincarnation? You seem very triggered by my initial innocent question.

I am quoting you one more time! I am sure a smart person doesn’t have to be asked twice, because they are smart enough to tackle the question in one go! 
 

So, where is your evidence to negate my proposition:  that you could also have been that animal in your past life, the one you are forbidden to consume? 
 

Don’t shy away now. Answer the question. If you are deeply convinced that  your logic is not doomed, then come on, answer the question!  Otherwise stop playing the fool like the rest of you , stop wasting my time. Go, find your (that) leg to stand on now! Prove to me that the horse in question was a Sikh in his past life? Prove that you are not a loser and that you have not lost the argument?

 

PS:   I knew you were doomed from the beginning with jumbled up logic, judging from your previous posts on miscellaneous  threads!  My time is very precious, so I wouldn’t be wasting it on a loser like you!  So, good luck with your narrow minded draconian views!

Wrong again. Stop playing the coward and answer his question directly. Stop pandering!!  Ask questions if you can’t answer directly without digressing and trying to please him and make him  happy!  

If you can’t answer it admit it that you don’t have enough learning so you are unable to answer, but you will do some research and ask from those that are more learned than you!
 

What “instances” are you referring to? Direct answer would be that it  is everything to do with brahmgiyaan awastha and nothing to do with “instances” at all!  Are you even a Amrittary Sikh?
 

Humility is the way to go about it!
