RE: Horse...

I thought the term "road apple" was a Midwestern colloquialism, Jim.  Of
course I don't imagine you have too many horse or cattle ranches or on the
West coast where they might use that term, David.

Road apples?  Thats a good one.  I've never heard that expression before. 
At first I had visions of a women in a wagon offering apples from her horse 
drawn cart.  Road apples!
