How Not to Tame a Wild Horse

We ain't got no real cowboys here in Harper. But that don't keep some folks for thinking they are. Billy Jack Jentz decided he wanted to get a real wild horse and train him just like they do in the movies. So he went to a horse show and asked the fellow running it for such an animal. He was told they didn't have nothing like that to sell but the there was a guy who lived out from Baton Rouge who had a horse he was trying to get rid of. He didn't have the heart to shoot it but in all reality it needed to be shot. That horse wouldn't let anyone within ten feet of him and had injured at least a half a dozen of family members and farm workers. Jack drove down with his horse trailer and came back with the animal. His story of how they got the horse in the trailer is a good one, but since it involves shooting the animal with some kind of stun gun and sticking it with sedatives I won't tell it. Anyway he brought it home and put it in a reinforced corral down by the barn. For weeks he tried to get close to that horse and was about to give up when Fred Barnweight happened to come by on a mission from his wife to buy some eggs from Billy Jack's wife. Fred had a solution that I will tell about tomorrow.
