Not to look at gift horse in the mouth

523 viewsOther

I understand the meaning of the saying and the context it’s used in.

What I don’t understand is why you would look a horse (or gift horse) in the MOUTH. What is special about its mouth?

Horse teeth and oral cpndition are an excellent indicator of overall health and hygiene, as well as age.

If you get a free Horse and immediately look for indications it’s old or sick, you come off as extremely entitled. Don’t expect the best of something when it’s given for free.
