Horsing Around

[birdie73]

All answers have a horse theme, please can you help me with some I am struggling with.
54 It was hairy when an alien appeared amongst the congregation (7)
58 Walker loses knee-cap so gets a horse from down under (5)
71 Doctor getting over loss is not likely to shine (5,5)
77 Around Penny some foreign sailors could have a beneficial effect (5,5)
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

71 the doctor is one of the usual abbreviations and the second word is a kind of horse (unusual word for horse)

[ladyalex]

58 A kind of australian horse
77 first word is an anagram , second is one of the usual words meaning sailors
(if I am correct)

[ladyalex]

54 I am not sure about my answer for this one , but , here goes..

the usual 2 letter word for an alien inside a 'congregation' of hairy animals.

Thanks ladyalex will try to work on those but am finding the last few quite difficult.

Hi,ladyalex.I can usually work out your clues but no77 has me stumped. First word is an anagram-may I ask of which word? Is this 5-letter word in the original clue?
Hi birdie73 hope you and your husband are keeping fairy well.

[ladyalex]

Hi quinie. The anagram is of a four letter word and P(enny)

[ladyalex]

71 DR (another abbreviation) + LOSS + another word for IS NOT. All a bit mixed up.
(If I am right.)

Thank you,ladyalex,got it now.Would never have associated this with horses!!Quite a difficult quiz.

[quinie]

Sorry,birdie73 meant fairly well

[ladyalex]

I thought it was a really hard quiz, quinie, but then I usually find the Rainbow ones quite difficult.

Thanks quinie for your concern nothing changes really I am undergoing several tests & will be pleased when they are all over, but can still get out & about & if the weather is going to warm up husband will be able to get his scooter out again.
Thanks for extra clues ladyalex will have another think later.
