My apologies.  HORSES it is.

>B) WTF does that mean anyway?

"If wishes were HORSES, beggars would ride."

You don't get anything by wishing for it.

Also, from phrases.co.uk,

 "If "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts, wouldn't it be a Merry
Christmas?" seems to be attributed to Don Meredith (the American football
player/commentator). To rephrase it: if all these reasons why we can't do
something were party foods instead of words, we could have a really great
party.
It would seem to be patterned after "If wishes were horses, then beggars
would ride" and "If I had a 'coin' for every 'something', I'd have 'a lot of
money'" (insert your favourite coin, something and amount of money).
