Anyways, to tell someone to “hold their horses” is for them to hold on, be patient and wait for a while.
In other words, do not rush into things – lest you do something rash and regret it later.
Alright, here are media examples:
1. A year ago, it was in the bag. Six months ago, dead certain. Six weeks ago, no problem. Now, it’s hold your horses. Rudy vs. Hillary, the battle of titans, could be called off. The problem is a sudden lack of voter interest.
Storms named Obama and Huckabee are roiling the presidential campaign. Seemingly out of nowhere, i.e., middle America, these upstarts are upstaging the heavyweights. The rookie Illinois senator and the former Arkansas governor were supposed to be practice dummies for the marquee names.
Party poopers, that’s what they are. We didn’t want just any old Democrat vs. any old Republican. We wanted Mommy vs. Daddy, the Alpha Female vs. the Alpha Male.
The dream showdown still might happen, but the momentum is, for the first time, against it. Sinking in the early-state polls, Rudy and Hillary are locked in struggles for their political lives. With voting set to begin right after Christmas and new year’s, time is growing short to change the dynamics. They could go down before they get a chance to go at each other.
