A good horse is never a bad colour.

Handsome is as handsome does.

All that glitters isn't gold.

"Never look a gift horse in the mouth" and I used to know one about jumping which ended something like this
"if nags weren't meant to leap why did he put a frog in every foot"

"It aint the 'unt that 'arms the 'os its the 'ammer 'ammer 'ammer on the 'ard 'ard' roads"

Think it means that you can hunt all day but don't trot it all the way home on the tarmac just cos you are tired, cold and wet.

My boss always says "horses only go as well as they're ridden" which I quite like.

Dont know if you could call it old though!
