Currying a Horse
Currying a horse often touches the grinding effort, of both hand and mind, that ambition exacts before its heights are reached. The dream may ask how many hard licks still stand between you and what you're climbing toward, and whether you trust that seeing the work through to completion will carry you to the summit.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for currying a horse, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of currying a horse, signifies that you will have a great many hard licks to make both with brain and hand before you attain to the heights of your ambition; but if you successfully curry him you will attain that height, whatever it may be.
