ride and tie

ride and tie
1. v phr
попеременно ехать верхом и идти пешком (о двух или трёх путешественниках, поочерёдно едущих верхом на лошади; проехав известное расстояние, всадник привязывает лошадь и поджидает идущих пешком)

They were both setting out, having agreed to ride and tie; a method of travelling much used by persons who have but one horse between them. (H. Fielding, ‘Joseph Andrews’, part II, ch. II) — Они оба отправились в путь, договорившись, что будут попеременно ехать верхом и идти пешком. Этим способом путешествия широко пользуются люди, у которых одна лошадь на двоих.

2. adv phr; уст.
попеременно верхом и пешком

‘Hae ye [= have you] seen my horse?’ he gasped. ‘Na [= no], man, I haenae [= have] not seen nae horse the day,’ replied the countryman. And Alan spared the time to explain to him that we were travelling "ride and tie"; that our charger had escaped... (R. L. Stevenson, ‘Catriona’, ch. XIII) — - Не видел ли ты моей лошади? - тяжело дыша, спросил Алан. - За весь день ни одной лошади не видел, - ответил крестьянин. Алан не стал тратить времени даром и объяснять крестьянину, что мы путешествовали попеременно верхом и пешком и что конь наш удрал.
