Original Note:
This idiom actually originates from horseback riding. The rider holds the reins used to direct the horses. “Hold your horses” tells someone to slow down and think about what they're doing before they complete an action. “Unstable”, though wrong, is also a cute explanation. https://proofed.com/writing-tips/idiom-tips-what-does-hold-your-horses-mean/amp/
