It's the handsome or showy one you brush up especially well, and use to make a good impression. (Or at least a good showing.)<BR/><BR/>It's not an expression that I've heard used around here, but from the context, I'm guessing it's the same sort of thing as "Sunday clothes" or "Sunday best."<BR/><BR/>I think the expression comes from the fact that for a lot of respectable rural folks, going off to church was one of the few times they left the ranch or farm.<BR/><BR/>Can anybody confirm this? Or correct me on it? I'm making an educated guess on this, but it's still only a guess.Kathryn Judsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459741827801474808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10905712.post-66555447070722169112008-02-28T00:29:00.000-08:002008-02-28T00:29:00.000-08:00What is a Sunday Horse?All my searches just bring ...What is a Sunday Horse?<BR/><BR/>All my searches just bring up a book on horse racing.Foxfierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10161683096247890834noreply@blogger.com
