Idiom Focus: Animal Idioms 17

Every Saturday I’ll give you a couple of idioms to learn. An idiom is a saying or phrase whose meaning cannot be taken from the literal meanings of the words.

horse sense:    wisdom in making decisions

Example:

horse trade:    hard and skillful bargaining

Example:
