The phrase is "straight from the horse's mouth" which means you got the answer from the source. In other words, you have talked to the person that made a statement... you got it "straight from the horse's mouth." For instance, your neighbor tells you that she heard the school bus was going to be late arriving with the kids. You then call the bus driver and she tells you, "No, I am going to be on time." Then you could go to your neighbor and say, "The kids are not going to be late, I heard it straight from the horse's mouth." This is the easiest way I could explain it.

It means straight from the source. Like if a girl on the cheerleading squad told the quaterback that she heard the class nerd talking to the teacher who she babysits for about how the head cheerleader was pregnant, that would be a big run a round. So just go to the head cheerleader and ask. The headcheeleader is the 'horse's mouth' so to speak
