(straight) from the horse's mouth

Getting information from the highest authority.

Origin:
When you get a tip for a horse race, the tip is better as nearer it is to the horse e.g. the jockey or the trainer. When you got it straight from the horse's mouth, you have it directly from the source.
This tip is foolproof, I got it (straight) from the horse's mouth!

putting words in the horse's mouth 

interrupting someone by finishing their sentences/words for them
boy, in an argument with his father:

boy: dad, sorry, I'll skip dinner tonight and (...)

father: (...) finish your chemistry and physics projects you are working on? That would be nice.

kodem koll, dad, stop putting words in the horse's mouth, and FYI it's actually Italian and Latin homework I was going to work on, later on the chemistry and physics.

to risk eating the horse's sperm 

When you have 50/50 odds that something could turn out just fine or be really, really awful, and you go on doing it anyway, you are taking a risk that you could be "eating the horse's sperm". Typically refers to sex acts, but not always.

From the Family Guy episode "Family Gay" in which Peter buys a retarded horse and fills the refrigerator with the horse's sperm to begin breeding it. He reveals it to the family while Stewie eats his cereal. He first looks shocked, then narrows his eyes and continues eating....

(Look up "Milky Surprise" at Hulu for the clip)

If you end up with the awful result, you can then said to have gotten the "milky surprise" (taken from the name of the clip at Hulu).
Steve: "So, I found out midway through the date that she is on drugs for being crazy, but I was hungry for companionship so I decided to risk eating the horse's sperm and took her home."

Heather: "And four month's later how's that working out for ya'?"

Steve: "Well I've had more than a few milky surprises. Bitch be crazy."
