Just trying to confirm how card abilities interact with general rules…

Controller Noon, Boot: Attach a Horse from your hand to your dude (as Shoppin’), reducing its cost by 2.

So I understand if this horse is a non-gadget then it can attach to any dude (even booted or at a location you don’t control)… If it is a gadget then I think it would still need to be invented so booting a mad scientist, GR cost paid, draw made etc… But once invented does it have to attach to the Mad Scientist or can it like other non-gadget horses attach directly to any dude anywhere?

There are several cards with similar effects so hopefully whatever the answer is will apply to all similar card abilities.

Thanks
