Amour
ne s'achete, ni se vend; mais au prix d'amour, amour se rend
Après bon vin, bon cheval
Aux chevaux maigres, va la mouche
C'est l'ambassade de Viarron, trois chevaux et une mule
Ce cheval est chargé de maigre, il revient de la Rochelle
Cet homme monte sur ses grands chevaux
Cherchez la femme
Cheval blanc, bon pour le père et les enfants
Cheval ronfleur, bon marcheur
De poulain rogneux devient souvent un cheval précieux
Des femmes et des chevaux il n'y en a point sans défauts
En son fumier cheval engraisse, quand il repose à son aise
Il a beau aller à pied qui mène son cheval par la
bride
Il est bon cheval de trompette
Il faut être compagnon de sa femme et maître de son
cheval
Il n'y a cheval si bon qui ne bronche
Il n'y a femme, cheval ou vache qui n'ait quelque tâche
Jamais cheval, ni méchant homme n'amenda pour aller à
Rome
La nuit tous les chats sont gris
Di notte tutti i gatti sono grigi
Le cheval à oeil verron, est tout mechant ou tout bon
Le jeu de l'etrille equivaut à un picotin d'avoine
Les chevaux courent les benefices et les ânes les atrapent
Les fiançailles chevauchent en selle et le repentir en
croupe
Maison de terre, cheval d'herbe, ami de bouche, ne vaillent pas
une mouche
Méchant poulain peut devenir bon cheval
On touche toujours le cheval qui tire
Prova a ragionare sull'amore, e perderai la ragione
Quand il n'y a plus d'avoine dans l'auge, les chevaux se battent
Se boter et n'avoir cheval, est pure folie et très-grand
mal
Auch
der beste Gaul stolpert einmal
Aus klattrigen Fohlen werden die schönsten Hengste
Besser ein blindes Pferd, als ein leeres Halfter
Die Pferde hinter den Wagen spannen
Es gibt kein Pferd so gut dass es nicht stolperte
Fehlt's an Pferden, reitet man Esel
Geschenkte Pferden darf man nicht in's Maul sehen
Mit eigner Peitsche und Fremden Rossen ist gut fahren
Stolpert doch auch ein Pferd mit vier Beinen
Wer jung reitet, geht alt zufuss
Alzan
tostado, antes muerto que consado
El cabeza de moro se tenisse ugnia buena valria mas que l'oro
Morsillo itto y sin sennal, muchos lo quieren y pocos lo han
