That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 29, 2020

“Yeah, I’m gonna take my horse to the old town road.”

“Giddee-yap!”

One of these days Tony will get a real horse.

Willard’s side job of polishing saddles paid almost as much as his court jester gig, and he didn’t have to hurt his face smiling while he was doing it.

Still taking Dungeons and Dragons very seriously at age 72.

Pietro found it hard to rein himself in, so he fitted his saddle with a brake. Things are different in the wild, wild west of Italy. They don’t just horse around!

The early spaghetti westerns didn’t have much of a budget for horses.

Charter member of the Society for Creative Anachronism.

that giuseppe, always horsin’ around…

Antonio truly missed his horse Buster. They had been together for over twenty-five years, fought in three campaigns against the French and Buster had saved his life on numerous occasions. He and Buster had been awarded the Gold Cross by King Ferdinand for outstanding bravery and leadership. Buster died last week and Antonio had found it so hard to let go. He missed that horse terribly. It was so sad. But on the bright side, Antonio had to admit Buster made the best stew he and the guard had had in years.

“This Preperation H saddle soap should ease the master’s hemorrhoids.”

Last surviving member of the landesknecht, consoling himself that the Swiss Guard doesn’t have any horses either.

In King Henry VIII’s court, manufacturing sex dolls was a difficult (and respected) profession.

Motor cars are just a passing fad. And when the horse returns, I’ll be ready.

King Richard the Third, after the battle…….

Arcangelo had to confess/ his efforts to spruce up his dress/ had failed to enable/ his escape from the stable/ for, in fashion, sometimes more is less.

Early drug dealer. He is on the north east side of the court yard, he will be wearing, well you can’t miss him , he will be polishing a saddle.

All decked out with no horse to go.

Don Quixote, forced to polish his own saddle, while Sancho Panza is self-quarantining.

As they say in old Spain: “That old feller’s all saddle and no horse!”

Jingles the Clown starring in Hell Bent for Leather.

Just before Enrico was told that the parade had been cancelled.

Well I rode through the desert on a name with no horse..

“Three or four more coats of wax oughta send Count Lardass right off the other side of the horse! Tell me I’m too young to retire will he?!?!”

Whiskey for my men, beer for the horses! And just what do I get?? Bahhhh! :>)

being so old, Gregor, is slicking up the saddle to ride his wife into Ecstasy, of which she has never known. she though it was a country.

I am SO glad that I don’t have to ride side saddle any more!
