Even favorable circumstances can't force one to do something one doesn't want to. Used to emphasize that you can make it easy for someone to do something, but you cannot force them to do it.

And yes I found a whole page of horse idioms .........

This now concludes the horse section of idioms for the time being at least!
Hey, I just LOVE horses and all the horse idioms you found!

I can't believe I forgot this idiom that someone in chat used to always use....
"Stop Beating A Dead Horse"

To continue to focus on something—especially an issue or topic—that is no longer of any use or relevance.

If an argument erupts and it's one that has been previously settled, then the idiom "beating a dead horse" might be said by someone who sees any further discussion on the topic to be meaningless.

"There's Never A Road Without A Turning"...



No situation in life stays the same forever.

Sidebar: Now again my mother had a somewhat similar idiom she used but it was "There's Never A Road So Long Without A Curve" and her meaning was that tho you're sailing through life without any hardships or obstacles at some point you will without a doubt encounter some!

"Given The Third Degree"...........





If someone is given the third degree, they are put under a great deal of pressure and intimidation to force them to tell the truth about something.
