Clue/Question: The young horse was bought by a family that was happy to – – –
Answer: PONY UP FOR IT
(Somehow, I don’t think that Dad is all that happy about it! Owning a horse, or even a pony, can be pretty expensive, unless you own some kind of farm, or ranch. Board and turnout is expensive. It can run up to around $500 a month around here. It’s probably cheaper in more rural areas and states. But just about every little girl would love to brag that they own a pony!
All of today’s clue words are permanent residents – old nags – of the ralis95 ranch. However, all four of today’s jumbles are new foals. Both “tpyaah” and “drneot” gave me a bit of trouble, but yer uncle is a bit of a jumble whisperer. I just say: show me who you are, baby. And, they reveal themselves to me! The answer letter layout was an elegant equine of an eleven letter jumble. Almost a Trojan horse of a jumble! Nothing obvious about it.
Great cartoon of the family at a horse farm. Some places call where horses live a stable, from the French word “estable”, but other areas seem to call them horse barns. I don’t know it that terminology is old, or maybe it’s just from the time of “freedom fries”. LOL! The little girl definitely looks happy! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Oh my word. As a child, a pony, together with my Dale Evan’s/Annie Oakley outfit, would have been heaven. A pretend pony worked just as well.🤗 LL
