"Kicking a dead horse" is a variation of the idiom "to beat a dead horse" or "to flog a dead horse," which means to waste time and energy on something that is pointless, impossible, or has already been settled. The metaphor refers to the futility of trying to make a dead animal perform a task, as no amount of effort will cause it to move.
