From the Horse's Mouth

This series of animated interstitials aims to find the origin of common idioms spoken by many but understood by few. Many are shrouded in mystery and obscured by time. All add a new perspective to our most colorful language. Your host — a wise and witty horse — gets to the bottom of it all with a plausible origin story.
