humorous proverbs
A dead horse doesn't eat, so it doesn't matter if it has grass to eat or not. If you're paying a cost to get something, you have to be mindful of what the cost is. Just like the horse, you can't enjoy it unless you're alive.
No good with a dead horse.
"When the horse is dead, get off" means you should not waste time on things that are not worth it. If the horse is dead, you can't ride it any more.

I have found that shredded paper and dried grass both work, although the grass must be dead.
the humans sometimes eat/kill the wolf and the bear. the wolf and the bear, if successful, eats the horse, but mainly the weak and/or old ones. the horse eats grass, dead grass, and bushes.(: hope this helps!
Although the situation may seem futile, the grass still serves as a source of nourishment for other animals and insects in the ecosystem. It also helps to prevent soil erosion and maintains the ecological balance of the environment, even if the horse is no longer able to benefit from it.
This saying means that it is pointless to worry about something that is no longer relevant or useful. It highlights the futility of focusing on things that cannot be changed or have already happened. It encourages people to move on and let go of situations that are beyond their control.
It means when a solution comes after the problem. So there is no use for it anymore.
No. If the grass is dead it's dead.
It has a roughly similar meaning to these other proverbs... "better a live coward than a dead hero" or "Discretion is the better part of valour" or "Run a way and live to fight another day."
