Long ago, people who were rich or important rode horses that were very tall. Today, if a girl acts like she is better than everyone else, you might say she should “get off her high horse.”
Yesterday, my children wanted me to take them to the playground. But I had to finish my work, so I told them to “hold your horses” — wait until I finish what I am doing. My two boys like to compete against each other and play in a violent way. I always tell them to stop “horsing around” or someone could get hurt.
We live in a small town. It does not have any exciting activities to offer visitors. My children call it a “one-horse town.”
Last night, I got a telephone call while I was watching my favorite television show. I decided not to answer it because “wild horses could not drag me away” from the television — there was nothing that could stop me from doing what I wanted to do.
