Horses For Courses.................................The Escaped Horse Escapade

On a bit of a roll with this theme. I cut a few horses out for "The Year Of The Horse" and wondered what to do with them all. So many ended up here!

HorsesFor Courses.................................Horse Racing Game

There wasa border on this but the sscanner took a dislike to it so had to leave it off! Probably just as well.

Horses For Courses..............................Sea Horse Race

This is the back cover of the one I did before called Horse Fun Annual. It seemed a shame to waste this so added a few sea horses I found in an old childrens encyclopedia. I added some inky lines too.

HORSES for COURSES -- One of a different color

It is speculated that the phrase comes from horse-trading. When horses are sold, their registration of birth also changes hands. As some horses change colour from youth to adulthood, however, the registration may not match the actual animal, causing confusion and accusations of foul play.

The expression, like so many in the English language, was popularised by William Shakespeare. In Twelfth Night, the scheming Maria utters “horse of that colour”, meaning ‘the same thing’. Over the centuries, and definitely by the mid-1800s according to records, the use of the phrase reversed.
