I've been away, off the net, for awhile. Got bogged down in bothersome, nitpicky duties of work. (Still bogged down, for that matter. My eyes are blurry and my brain is tired.) Anywho, I never got back to this to really sink my teeth into it. However, now that I've seen the answers, yes, I think I would have been pretty stumped. Some of them (Sea Oats; Donnybrook), I wouldn't know from a knotted walking stick! Oh well... sometimes you're winsome, sometimes you're gruesome... or something like that! LOL

OK seven more definitions with definite words in mind:
1.) a color of horse that suggests it's on its last legs
2.) sounds like a round toy that glows in the dark
3.) to bring something a long way
4.) become chums
5.) close to the ground, under a snake's belly
6.) unusual object found in a pitcher's glove or hand [oddball]
7.) the guy who lisps asks you to take a look [thee (see?) or clumsy (come see)]
Good luck!

6.) unusual object found in a pitcher's glove or hand [ODDBALL (Odd Ball) ]
7.) the guy who lisps asks you to take a look [THEE (see?) or CLUMSY (come see)]

Sorry, Pen - my brain's too grammar-wired, I keep trying to get everything to agree.
And I was thinking 'befriend,' but I thought, "it couldn't be that literal, could it?" Shows what I know!
