    As far as I know, the word "thar" isn't an English word in the first place. =/ You would say in SLANG (still not proper English) "Them horses are mine". A better way that is NOT slang English would be "Those horses are mine" or "Those horses over there are mine".

    Well, if spell check recognizes them thar horses is mine, and it does, it has to be correct. Oh heck. I misspelled thar. I guess not.

    No, it's not proper English. Proper English would be "Those horses are mine" (not is). That's a very country style of talking.

    No, it is not proper grammar. However, it could be argued it is a proper vernacular for a certain area. It is also rude to correct someone's grammar so...
