I feel a right Dumbo, as some of those I still have to do don't come up - so must be really easy. Can anyone please let me have some clues for the following -
No 6 -as no-one returned to stable it (8)
No 29 - I can leave the London Theatre and see a dark coloured fancy pigeon (4)
No 87 Josh, going on a caper, cavorted in the leggings (10) I keep coming back to pack horse, but it doesn't fit! I'm Googled out at present.

Many thanks

Hi rinkleez;

I gather the answers are all horse related!Probably a red herring but for 87 SHOWJUMPER has Josh in it and is 10 letters.Can't explain the rest of the logic though. NB JODHPURS a;so has "Josh" in it, means leggings...but only 8 letters! Sorry.

Thanks, Paul. I've already been down the Jodphurs route myself, to no avail.

Barbican Theatre, delete 'ican', leaves Barb (pigeon type)

Again, thanks Paul, and pooksahib. What does Barb have to do with horses? Oh, I'll Google it and see. Thanks for your help, both
