: Hold her Newt, she's a headin' for the meadow ...... Has anyone ever heard this phrase used and in what context? I seem to remember my grandmother saying this when we kids were getting out of hand - maybe in reference to a horse needing to be restrained from bolting away? Thanks for any insight.
What insight? Your granny had all the insight needed, and a sense of humor as well. Not a common phrase, but pretty self-explanatory. As for the animal involved, whether horse or pig or cow--well, you can fill in the blank with anything--even a little kid. SS
