Dear teachers,
"I get up on a sassy horse"
Could you tell me what does that mean?
What is "sassy horse"?
What's the consequence of getting up on a sassy horse?
Thanks! |

Hi,
Is there a context? I don't know "sassy horse." To get up on a "high horse" means to act conceited or beyond reach. |

Yeah!Thanks a lot. 
I think it's just like a play on words and the writer wanted to change the meaning a little. |

| Ah, just horsing around. ("Horsing around" = playing. Please excuse the bad pun.) |
