TODAY'S IDIOM: HOLD YOUR HORSES

"HOLD YOUR HORSES" 

If someone tells you to hold your horses, you are doing something too fast and they would like you to slow down.

Example: Hold your horses, you haven’t thought about this yet.

Tranquilízate. 

• Hold your horses, it’s not time to go yet, we have to finish one more excercise / Tranquilízate todavía no es hora de irse, tenemos que terminar un ejercicio más.

• Just hold your horses, Bill! Let's think about this for a moment / Solo tranquilízate, Bill! Pensemos en esto por un momento.

Additional examples:

• Hold your horses!, you don't know when the movie even starts.

• Hold your horses, you'll get your turn.
