None of the answers were right just yet, but rope is on the right track.

No, it's not Horseshoes.

2 and 3 were correct.

#1 was walnut but Coconut is close enough.

1. Although lower than a fence,
And thinner than a rail,
It can still be used to hold a horse;
Hooves, mane and tail.

2. Though not a plant, has leaves.
Though not a beast, has spine.
Though many wouldn't need this thing,
'Tis more valuable than wine.

3. In the fields a frightful thing,
Watch it and you will find,
It has a pitchfork in the front,
And a broom back behind.

No it's not a beehive.  Think of the kind of meat even a vegan would eat.

#2 was correct, but #1 is not.

Lightning?

The third one is correct.  However, the other two are wrong.

Crimson Wizard got it.

1. A box beneath a tree,
Inside some tasty meat.
Kept for a month or more,
It still tastes just as sweet.

2. Its tail is round and hollow,
Seems to get chewed a bit,
But you'll rarely see this thing,
Unless the other end is lit.

3. It doesn't live within a house.
Nor does it live without.
Most will use it when they come in,
And again when they go out.

You seemed to have zipped your mouths when it comes to the second one.  Or maybe you sewed them shut, or sealed them or...

Stupot+ got it.  The direct answer in the game is: "Trade Mares."

CaptainD got the first one.  The other two need answering.

I know about a number of board games, like Pac-Man, E.T., The Legend of Zelda, and Q-Bert.  I even thought up an idea for a board game, but I don't play board games.  Blame my father for that one, jerk would yell at me for having to think about my next move.

Scarab was close enough.  The answer is Briars.

1. Although my cow is dead.
I continue to beat her.
What a racket she makes!

2. Flat as a leaf,
Round as a ring,
Has two eyes,
But can't see a thing.

3. Two brothers wanted to race a course,
To see which had the slowest horse.
Since neither wanted to spur his mare,
What must they do to make it fair?

King Graham and the prince in Sleeping Beauty both had to deal with the answer.

Horns maybe?  Or Pitchfork?  Or Trident?

BTW the second one in my list was not answered.

#3 is close enough.  It's actually a sieve but I'm not sure how many people know about that word.

A rabbit would guess the second one pretty easy.

Don't strain yourself on the third.

An idea I had but never had the resources to make:

Your character wakes up one day to find he/she is in the body of a baby leopard.  He has the ability to understand the mother leopard and notices a strange device (it's rather small) is stuck to his chest.  The mother tries to remove it but can't.  Shortly afterwards, a monkey shows up and reveals that he has the same device stuck to the back of his hand.  He explains that he is not a monkey but a human but has no clue who he was before and why he is now a monkey.  You both try to remove each other's device and succeed.  Unfortunately, the devices connect to the new bodies.  You're now stuck in the body of a monkey and the monkey in the body of the leopard cub.  Fleeing the scene so the mother leopard doesn't eat him, your character realizes he has no memory of who he is or how this happened.  Before any answers can come up, he's captured in a net and finds himself stuck on a plane with several other poached animals.  However, the device was damaged and now comes loose.  Experimentally, the character throws the device at one of the other animals.  Depending on which animal the device is thrown at, the character goes into another country and now inhabits that body.  The mission: find out who you are, find out who did this to you, and find a way back to normal.  Throughout the game you must switch bodies with different animals in order to get past various obstacles or solve puzzles.  As the game progresses you learn that you aren't the only person involved in this scheme and that there are in fact, many others who are also trapped in animal bodies with no knowledge of who they truly were beforehand.

CaptainD got the first one.  The other answers aren't right.  Make sure to see to mkennedy's riddle too.
