    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.
