wild horses

Free-roaming equines

Wild horses are horses living in a feral or undomesticated state, either descended from escaped domesticated horses or never tamed.

The phrase appears most often in the expression wild horses couldn't drag me away or wild horses couldn't keep me from it—meaning nothing could prevent or compel a particular action.

The image suggests that even the most powerful uncontrollable force wouldn't change one's resolve.
