Explanation

'Look a gift horse in the mouth' means to examine or criticize something received as a free gift, which is considered ungrateful. The phrase refers to checking a horse's teeth to determine its age - doing this to a gift horse implies doubting the gift's value. It's not about rejecting gifts, surreal feelings, or becoming an equestrian.
