This idiom means riding on a running horse and looking at flowers. It was originally used to describe the proud and happy mood of finishing the imperial examination.

If you change from "watching the flowers on horseback" to "watching the flowers on horseback", the situation will be different. "Get off your horse and watch the flowers" can truly penetrate into reality and make it easier to understand the essence of things.
