The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 30, 2024

no horsin’ around for you Seabiscuit!

You ought to try Giddyup or Yeehaw. There’s some fine stallions on those.

You can’t afford the stud fee anyway.

Why the long face?

There needs to be a gallop poll to determine how horses in general feel about this. No need for them to work up a sweat about statistical anomalies that fly in the face of fact. If the problem is not far-ranging, the horses should quit stallion and rein in their dis-saddle-faction.

Maybe you can WIN the lottery, buy a PLACE, and SHOW them how good you are.

Ever been to a Bridle shower? She’s put the spurs to him. She’ll saddle him with a lot of debt. He’ll have to get a second job at the glue factory. (It won’t last long)

Flicka’s forlorn.

He was hoping a female horse would stay until morning. You know, a night mare.

Shoulda used ‘Plenty of Fillies’

How about a non-horse equine? They may not be a perfect match …

… but a donkey or zebra could (be a) mate with a horse.

He hoped to be a winna, but he left the app a loosa.

They roll the streets up at night there.

The street sweeper likes it.

One trick ponies need not apply.

“I come from a very small community.”

“You mean a one-horse town?”

“Yeah, and the two butchers were fighting over HIM!”

Stop horseing around here.

You might try leaving comments on Dark Side of the Horse.

“… It’s only five more miles to Mary Ann’s.That wind’s howling and it seemsMighty like a woman’s screams.And we’d best be moving faster if we can.Dan just think about that barnWith that hay so soft and warm.For it’s only three more miles to Mary Ann’sIt’s only three more miles to Mary Ann’s.Dan, get up, you ornery cuss, or you’ll be the death of us …?

There is that one filly, but she just runs through the town, barely stopping, with a rider that shouts Neither snow nor rain …

Poor horsey.

East Filly born and raised

Is she the Mare of that town though?

Anyone else remember seeing him on American Bridle?
