Something that is authentic or true beyond dispute is said to be from the horse's mouth.
But why?
The phrase comes from horse racing.
Any equine expert knows that the teeth in the lower jaw of a young horse are fewer than those of an older horse.
To learn the truth about a racer's age, one only had to look in the horses mouth and that's where the phrase from the horses mouth came from.
