Nice hat

How do you get your shoes so shiny?

Did you buy that on eBay ?

A horse who guards?
A man guarding horses?
A piece of equipment that protects horses? like the chain guard on a bike?
Or is the title of your blog indicating an event similar to “man bites dog”, “miserable man guards”.

Very confusing.
