Rode Hard and put up wet

In case there is anyone out there like me who had no clue what this meant.

Rode hard and put up wet. It refers to riding a horse "hard" to exhaustion and putting him up "wet," rather than brushing him off and cooling him down. Or whatever one does with a sweaty horse.


As currently used, it means that something was used very hard to accomplish an objective, and then thrown aside because it was no longer immediately useful.
