Is the opposite of "get off" in the sentence "get off one's high horse" "get on"? And Also, what does sentence "get on one's high horse" mean?

Note my corrections above. Don't start a sentence with "and". Don't use "and" and "also" together. It's tautologous. Don't put a space after opening quotation marks. Neither of the phrases you quoted are full sentences.
As jutfrank explained, it's an idiom. It doesn't have an opposite. We simply don't say "get on one's high horse".

While I agree that the standard phrase uses "get off" one's high horse, the opposite version with "get on" is not unknown.

... and this is just for "get on their high horse". I'm sure "got on" and other variations would yield some results too.

I didn't mean to suggest that no one had ever said "get on one's high horse". However, I would say that it certainly isn't a recognised idiom or set phrase.

Well, all I can tell you is that I've rarely heard it in British English. Please remember to capitalise book titles correctly!

I would expect to hear it in something like "Don't go getting up on your high horse now!"

I agree that there are contexts in which it would work but I've still not heard it. In my experience, it's something that's usually said once someone has already started to be supercilious or condescending etc, so it's much more likely that I'd need to say "Oh, get down off your high horse and come and help me!" or similar.
