What is "gift horse"

n. (context idiomatic English) An apparent gift, that has substantial associated costs.

n. a gift (usually of inferior quality) that should be accepted uncritically; "it wasn't much, but don't look a gift horse in the mouth"

Gift Horse is an album by Roots music band Lost Dogs, released on BEC Records in 1999.

This turned out to be Gene Eugene's last album with the band when he died in The Green Room shortly after its release.

BEC Records retitled one song as "A Vegas Story" for the album's artwork. To this day, fans of the band continue to call it by its real name, "Free Drinks and a Dream". The song also goes by that name during concert introductions and on later live albums and videos.

Gift Horse (released in the United States as Glory at Sea) is a 1952 British war film starring Trevor Howard and Richard Attenborough.

The film follows the story of the fictional ship HMS Ballantrae and her crew from the time they come together in 1940 until they go on a one-way mission to destroy a German-held dry dock in France.
