German saying -- Good for stealing horses?
I met a German lady the other night and she said I was "good to steal horses with" which according to her is a good thing but she couldn't really give me an English equivalent. Is anyone familiar with this phrase? Could you explain it a bit better to me? She said it was almost like calling me a daredevil but I'm very curious now!

It means you are a great sport. She likes you to be
around her. She can imagine doing things with you.
Not only ”daredevil-like”, but just playing a few games
and pulling the one or the other prank on common
friends. It is certainly a very positive comment, though not
necessarily on a basis of romance.
She likes you a lot and trusts you.
Enjoy the situation. All the best!
You are welcome

Here are some of the things she likely said and ment:
A German expression defines the quality of a relationship: "A person ready to steal horses with you." It is the essence of friend-ship, to help the other
"eine zum Pferde stehlen" (somebody to steal horses with) and unbelievably wonderful just to talk to
mit ihm kann man Pferde stehlen
he's a good sport
I'd go through thick and thin with you. Mit dir würde ich Pferde stehlen.
Pferde • mit jmd ... stehlen können to
be a great guy (coil), to be a great bloke (coil), to be a good (real) sport
Source(s): If one is gonna steal horses well they should do so with a true friend: as in friends help you move, and true friends help you move bodies.
