An inferior or diseased horse, or a horse that is lame or defective.
From Turkish 'bez' or Persian origins, referring to a horse of poor quality or condition; the term entered English through trade routes in the Ottoman period.
Medieval horse traders used this term to distinguish truly inferior animals, so calling someone's horse a 'bezan' was basically a medieval insult that could start arguments!
