    It’s a horse riding addage, a horse ridden hard gets dirty and messy, put away wet means it doesn’t get cleaned. Basically a dirty worn old looking horse.

      I think it’s more the riding gear than the horse. You’ll get a rotten saddle pretty quick when the leather gets waterlogged and not taken care of.

        You can Google it you know! It’s about the horse. That’s how I found out, it’s amazing the things you don’t need an opinion on when factual information is at our fingertips.
