version. As the horse Fauvel is about to join Vainglory in the bridal bed, the people form a charivari in protest. From the Roman de Fauvel. The romance features Fauvel, a fallow-colored horse who rises to prominence in the French royal court, and through him satirizes the self-serving hedonism and hypocrisy of men, and the excesses of the ruling estates, both secular and ecclesiastical. The antihero's name can be broken down to mean "false veil", and also forms an acrostic F-A-V-V-E-L with the letters standing for the human vices: Flattery, Avarice, Vileness, Variability (Fickleness), Envy, and Laxity. The romance also gave birth to the English expression "curry fauvel", the obsolete original form of "curry favor".

maybe my favourite etymology: the phrase “curry favour” originates from a medieval french morality poem about a conniving horse named fauvel who amasses a following of sycophantic humans to groom and tend to him.

over time, “currying fauvel” eventually became “currying favour.”

A selfie with about a third of my face and body in view. It is taken from a low angle right below my colt’s head making his nose very large and his face very long. His ears poke up cutely

I have seen the type. Like someone else said it’s basically a tree. Kinda similar concept to specialized saddles where they have one standard tree and then you add foam panels that you can shim. I’ve not been convinced of systems like that re: fit but not quit the same problems as treeless.
