I assume stealing a horse is legal, or?

Is killing horses in pvp zones illegal? If you trying to kill someone riding a horse, it might be difficult to avoid killing it.
Id say that it should be legal, at least that is my opinion. Its PvP, players against players, but that is of course up to the staff members.

Well, it clearly says killing horses is illegal. PvP is not PvH. But, that can't be used as an excuse for players to hide behind horses during pvp. So I'd imagine you shouldn't, but if it happens then staff would be understanding when you put in a ticket to get it replaced.

does a block ontop of a chest still make it locked and illegal to steal from?
As asae said, this is illegal.

The reason for that is that to open the chest you would have to break the block, which would be illegal and considered as griefing. If you would have put a block like, for an example leaves, you would still be able to open it, due to it being opaque(transparent). This chest it would be illegal to steal from due to that you would not have to grief to to open it.
