Similar to the phrase "I am just jerking your chain". This phrase is said after you let someone know that what you said previous to the phrase itself was simply in jest, and you were trying to get a rise out of them.
Many confuse this phrase to mean the sexual pleasing of a horse with one's hand. However it refers to the jerking of the reins of the horse.
Sam: Holy shit, Thomas you better get outside someone is towing your car.

"Get off your high horse" is an idiom people retort with in an argument when the other person is acting like a holier-than-thou being when in reality, they aren't. To put it in a simpler manner, to tell people to stop acting as if they're the top authority when they aren't.
Person A: "I am completely entitled to go around dismissing people when they do something completely normal just because they're wrong and I'm ultimately right."
Person B: "Get off your high horse."

When some one acts superior whereas they are not. Sometimes they are mistaken but usually delusional.
Example is when a man who is trying to see a woman texts her that: “I would love to see you but it seems to me that you want more than what I can give. I don’t want a serious relationship.”
The woman says: “oh please ...get off your high horse. I am just no longer interested”!
Man: “I am not looking for a serious relationship but love seeing you”
Woman: is this guy crazy or what ? Who wants a relationship with you?! Sonshe says: “ oh please... get off your high horse. Relationship?! I am not interested in you anymore. Stop texting me”

To tell somebody else to "take back YOUR fuckin horse" means for that person to take back a problem they have cast upon you, without your willing consent.
When you throw or cast YOUR problem(s) onto somebody else, just to get that trash away, it will come back. The "Horse" is the problem, it can be anything that is causing issues for you, and you dont want anymore.
So to truely take back the horse, means the other person you cast it on, is fed up with having that shit on them, and they feel its time for you to deal with the problem, not just give to others.

A line people use when they get confronted directly for acting like a cunt to try to save face. It is normally used on people of equal or lower social standing and not generally used on people with power or authority. It is a pre-packaged response designed to win over the crowd or turn the tables and doesn't actually have any bearing on who is right or wrong.
