The answers to today’s Strands game #631 are…

I was galloping through today’s search until the last two words left me with a jumble of letters on the board.
VET isn’t the most obvious word when it comes to horse matters, but I almost managed to write it in the correct order before facing the game’s second-hardest challenge in FARRIER.
The word WRANGLER, used here for its EQUESTRIAN meaning, obviously made me think of the denim brand and its jeans, which were originally made to be worn in the saddle and with wider legs to fit over cowboy boots.
They were also, according to my Google research, the jeans that Queen’s Freddie Mercury and Harrison Ford wore at their wedding. Curious facts, huh?
