why did St. Jerome say never look a gift horse in the mouth?

It appears in ‘On the Epistle to the Ephesians".
Heavens to Betsy! You should ALWAYS look a gift horse in the mouth. It may need enough dental work to bankrupt you.

Because you can tell how old a horse is by their teeth, and to check the age on a horse that was gifted to you is just rude. It’s like asking for the price of a christmas present from your mum.
