Not the same as 騎驢找驢, which we have and means "to look for what you already have". In ABC and GR.

Finally, 騎馬找馬 (PLC, ABC, GF, CY, GR, HDC, XHD) combines the meanings of both idioms.
Diff:
# 騎驢找馬 骑驴找马 [qi2 lü2 zhao3 ma3] /lit. to search for a horse while riding on a mule (idiom)/fig. to keep a job while looking for a better one/
# 騎馬找馬 骑马找马 [qi2 ma3 zhao3 ma3] /lit. to search for a horse while riding one(idiom)/fig. to keep a job while looking for a better one/to look for what one already has/
+ 騎驢找馬 骑驴找马 [qi2 lu:2 zhao3 ma3] /(idiom) (coll.) to continue in a somewhat unsatisfactory job (or romantic relationship etc) for the time being while actively looking around for a better one/
+ 騎馬找馬 骑马找马 [qi2 ma3 zhao3 ma3] /(idiom) (coll.) to continue in a somewhat unsatisfactory job (or romantic relationship etc) for the time being while actively looking around for a better one/
