I don't understand the legs that just go off a horse expression. Is it a compliment?

I hope they stay on the horse ... ... or am I just shooting a dead one? That would denote a bowlegged condition...not that there is anything wrong with that  My great Uncle said that (he would be "at least 100" by now)...not that there is anything wrong with that...

This could easily turn into a discussion of sayings related to animals - beating a dead horse, dog tired...

And there's also a saying that originally made no sense to me: "Never look a gift horse in the mouth."

Gven the historical context f that quote, ought not one always look a gift horse in the mouth? To listen to that advice, as the good citizens of Troy discovered can be simply suicidal.

Even a city girl like me knows about "looking a gift horse in the mouth"-- it related to "getting long in the tooth"
Grazing animals (like horses) have teeth that grow forward not up-- so as the get older, their teeth get longer-- at some point they stop growing-- and just wear down.
You don't look a gift horse in the mouth, since to do so it to learn how old (and guess) how much usefull life it has left. We don't get old-- but at some point we decide that its time to stop reading serial novels...
as of the trojains-- they had Casandra-- and ignored her-- and failed to beware of greeks bearing gifts. (poor casandra-- her life didn't improve much after the war, did it?)
