A common mistake is to think that 'horse' must mean the entire collection of horses. The universal concept horse can be truly applied to each horse without itself asserting anything about all horses together.
'Horse' expresses a general kind. 'All horses' explicitly ranges over its members.
Universality is the ability of a meaning to apply to many individuals, not the presence of a word such as 'all' in a sentence.
