Where does the Origin of ''Dont lick a gifthorse in the Mouth'' come from?

It comes from the generally unsanitary nature of horse's mouths and laws against bestiality.
The phrase "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" comes from the practice of judging a horse's age and general condition from the condition of its teeth. In other words, "you just got something free, don't go trying to find fault with it."
