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.

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.

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

You got it.  Seriously though, it's hard to come up with hints.

1. Holes at the top.
Holes at the bottom.
Holes in the middle.
But still it holds water.

2. Claws like a cat,
Crooked as a snake's hiss.
Patch together your guesses.
You won't guess this.

3. Round as an apple,
Deep as a cup,
All the Bitter Sea,
Can't fill it up.

You can navigate your way through it I'm sure.

Captain D got #3 right with his first guess.  Still waiting on #2.

#1 was answered correctly, however #3 was not.

Icicle is correct.  Crimson Wizard is the winter of this round!

1. With flashing sword and booming cry.
With darkness staining land and sky,
The army comes, prepared to die.
Soldiers fall in glistening dress.
As battles are joined without egress,
Save comfort in the earth's caress.

2. The wheel is steered,
Despite the night.
They prefer our lead,
More than the light.

3. When it is down,
it is lower than a horse's belly.
When it is up,
It is higher than a horse's back.

Well, 2 and 3 were answered correctly.  Only the first one hasn't been answered.  How about we say whoever gets it is the winter of this round.

The answer to #3 was "Orange" in the game.

1. You see me oft,
In woods and town.
With my roots above,
I must grow down.

2. A strange earthen house,
That brings naught but disdain
And yet those who stay there,
Never do complain.

3. Twins on either side of
A ridge that smells.
They shall never see
Each other directly.

Kconan got it.  He's up.

#2 was ashes so you got it right.
#3 Has multiple answers but coconut works out, grapes does not.  We cast the skeleton aside but not the skin (most of the time). You can keep up with this one if you want.  It wouldn't open the chest in the game with any of the answers provided.

1. Blessed are the first.
   Slow are the second.
   Playful are the third.
   Bold are the fourth.
   Brave are the fifth.

2. After the final fire,
   The winds will blow.
   And these, which are already dead
   Will cover the ones who have
   Yet to die.

3. Men seize it from its home,
   Tear apart its flesh,
   Drink the sweet blood,
   Then cast its skin aside.
