the saying is dont look a gift horse in the mouth
it originates from judging a horse previous care by looking at its mouth, and to judge a gift from some one is rude, hence the saying dont look a gift horse in the mouth

Contrary to NYY's answer, the saying originates from the Trojan Horse that was given filled with soldiers. It reffers to being cautious of accepting gifts from unknown sources.
