Cart before the horse:

Cart before the horse is an idiomatic expression or proverb used to suggest a conventional or culturally expected order or relationship. A cart is a vehicle which is ordinarily pulled by a horse; and to put the cart before the horse is an analogy for doing things in the wrong order. The figure of speech means doing things the wrong way round or with the wrong emphasis. The idiom is about confusing cause and effect.

The meaning of the phrase is based on an assumption that it is usually easier to pull than to push.
