---
if x = +/- 1 then x^2-1 = 0 so you will get a vertical asymptote at that point.
---
the vertical asymptote is when x approaches infinity but never quite reaches it ---
the horizontal asymptote would be the value of y when x approaches infinity.

a good treatment of this subject can be found at:

---
a graph of your equation to show the vertical asymptotes is as follows:
---
---
it appears that the horizontal asymptote is equal to 0 because as x approaches infinity, y approaches 0.

a graph of your equatrion to show the horizontal asymptotes is as follows:

there is lots more information at the website i recommended so check it out if you need to know more.
they also treat slanted asymptotes.
-----
vertical asymptotes never cross the vertical line they approach.
-----
horizontal asymptote can cross the horizontal line they approach.
