I’ve been stopping by occasionally and I love reading these posts, your writing is excellent!<BR/><BR/>Anyway… the phrase you are questioning is cowboy/horseman related term. It’s usually something to effect of, “she looks like she’s been road hard and put to bed (or away) wet.” It means ugly, rough or uncared for and it results from the kind of frothy sweaty state that horses get worked into when they’ve been running for awhile. A good horseman will run his horse through a cool down and then towel them dry before putting them in stall after a workout. A lesser person would just leave them in that state and the horse could get sick or at the very least it would look like hell. <BR/><BR/>Here’s hoping that’s mildly interesting, because I’ve always found that phrase amusing. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the writing!Kristen Carmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492067158950929204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927425914215420555.post-70969621695183119482009-01-08T11:49:00.000-08:002009-01-08T11:49:00.000-08:00I think it means she showered before going to bed,...I think it means she showered before going to bed, thereby giving her a wild look?
