At the present time, people grow grass mostly for reasons that have nothing to do with horses, but there was a time when horses were the main method of human transportation, and the main use of grass was to feed horses and other grazing animals such as cows and sheep. This proverb warns against futile effort. If you no longer have any horses, perhaps you should not bother to cultivate grass. I could also say that if a candidate has dropped out of a race, you should not waste your time campaigning for that candidate. We need to act for reasonable purposes, so that we can accomplish something.
