Pre-Answer:  Three Words  (7-letters)  (4-letters)  (4-letters)

 

Answer:  SADDLED WITH DEBT

(Ooh!  A great stinky pun!  I’m getting the scent of leather, horsies, and manure.  Smells like . . . VICTORY!  Hopefully, for our over extended horseman at least.  If he doesn’t get a win he’s going to have to sell one, or more, of his horses.  Either way though, he’s learning a valuable lesson.  Kind of the equine version of not counting your chickens before they’re hatched.

There were no new clue words this day.  Four of the jumbles are coming up as new, but we’ve definitely seen both “dibsee” and “glueed” sometime ago.  Sadly, I had to back into “fusion”!  The answer letter layout made for a grand fifteen letter jumble.  If the owner wasn’t saddling the horse, for the jockey, this might have been a more difficult solve.

Great cartoon of a horse farm.  I guess the owner has at lest five of them.  Not quite sure why the one behind the jockey appears to be already saddled.  I liked the pickup truck and the horse barns in the background.  Wonderful Sunday Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
