What does "al pie de los caballos" mean?

Question

I've found this expression in an elpais.com article (Una boda de rockera para Kate Moss) butcould not find a translation for it on the net. My gut feeling tells me that it has little to do with actual horses but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks! B.

Answer 2

The context should shed light on this.

Answer 3

I believe it translates to "by the feet of the horses".

I don't want to quote too much of the article, but the context was: "... el diseñador británico que se encuentra hoy al pie de los caballos, respondiendo ante un tribunal de las acusaciones..." I don't think they mean it literally. - Balage, Jul 9, 2011
