"Feria del caballo en Nogueiro. 1-6-2008", by darioalvarez, in flickr

A caballo regalado, no le mires el diente = To a given horse, do not look at the tooth

This saying is very famous in Spain.

This one makes allusion to ranchers, who have the habit of examineing carefully the horses´s teeth, before buying them, in order to check the animal´s age.Then, the saying says that every present must be acepted without fault.
