Abonações para \"horse of a different color\"?
Hi, guys!
So, I came across this expression "horse of a different color" in the very beginning of a novel, where the text describes the shoes of a "sertanejo", saying: "Now let's talk about a horse of a different color". I suppose it is also a word play given such context.
Any insights?

uma coisa completamente diferente
Este é o significado habitual. Mas sem mais contexto é difícil ter mais certeza...

Note from asker:
| É a primeira linha do texto: Talk about a horse of a different color. Tumbled bark boots. That's what the western cowboy was wearing. |

"Talk about a horse of a different color these boots are a beautiful bark color and anytime you see the word tumbled rest assured that boot is going to feel softer. Ariat Cowboy Boots offer the most advanced footwear for work or play. This performance riding boot with trend-right broad square toe offers lots of comfort for your toes! This boot is such a neutral color and the ATS Technology For Cushioned Forefoot, Arch and Heel Orthotic support for all day comfort. Five stars for this boot!"
