In common usage, a pair of horses worked together. Broadly, as in an exemption statute, a pair of horses worked together or one horse worked by himself. 31 Am J2d Exemp § 71. As used in a statute exempting from execution the team of a householder used in and about his business, the word was held to include any team of animals which might or could be so used, whether the number of animals composing the team consisted of one, two, three, four, or more.
