This will give you an idea about vintage clothes.
Your first question, I think it means that a person is willing to give his horse ( or any
animal) free as long as the other person looks after it with love and care. |

For #2, the negative of "A and B" is "not A or B". That is because you don �t have to lack interest in both of them in order not to be interested in both of them. (I hope that makes sense).
If I like cookies and I like milk, it would still be possible for me to say "I don �t like cookies and milk" if I don �t like them together.
If I don �t like cookies and I don �t like milk, then I don �t like cookies or milk. (and I probably don �t like them together, either)
For #4, they aren �t quite the same, at least in US English. "Specially" means "in a special way", while "especially" means "to a special degree". The first answers "how?" and the second answers "how much?"
