To keep a tight rein...
To have the bit between your teeth...
To be in the driving seat...
To have a cob on...
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth...
Don't close the stable door after the horse has bolted...
Long in the tooth...
On the hoof...
Don't put the cart before the horse...
A nod's as good as a wink to a blind horse...
A run for your money
An each way bet
Back the field Champ at the bit Dark horse Dead ringer Dog and pony show Don't change horses in midstream Eat like a horse Flogging a dead horse For the high jump Get off your high horse Hold your horses Home James and don't spare the horses Horse around Horse feathers Horse of a different colour Horse play Horses for courses Horses sweat, men perspire, women merely glow Horsing around I could eat a horse If wishes were horses beggars would ride One horse town Only fools and horses work Rode hard and put away wet Shanks' pony Straight from the horses mouth Take a running jump Taken for a ride Talk the hind legs off a donkey Waiting for the other shoe to drop You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink The difference between playing the stock market and the horses is that one of the horses must win. Joey Adams (1911-____) U.S. comedian, author Old minds are like old horses; you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order. John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) U.S. president (6th) It doesn't matter what you do in the bedroom as long as you don't do it in the street and frighten the horses. Mrs. Patrick Campbell (1865-1940) English actress A wise man looks upon men as he does on horses; all their comparisons of title, wealth, and place, he consider but as harness. Robert Cecil When I appear in public people expect me to neigh, grind my teeth, paw the ground and swish my tail - none of which is easy. Princess AnneMeanwhile, here's a question for you: why did Surrey's demise lead to the defeat of Richard III at Bosworth field? Look out for the amswer next week!
