What does A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse mean as an idiom?

It's not an idiom, it's a saying. If the horse is blind, it can't see either the nod or the wink, so they'd mean the same thing to the horse. You nod when you're agreeing and you wink when you're sneaking around with something.
