Presents a description and derivation of horse-related words. This book begins with the earliest known usage of 'You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink', 'one-trick pony', 'dog and pony show', and 'a horse of a different color'. It examines the roots of these and other phrases and how they worked their way into our language.
