draft a report on the Minister of Educations recent report on compensation of teachers There are some rather recommendations said the board chairman Ernest the man was new to country life and I d been in farming well over JO years I pointed out the dangerous aspects of riding such an animal even with a saddle in farm country where mares were aplenty in the fields along the road The man listened then pointed out how quiet the stallion was adding that he was quite capable of handling the animal if any trouble DID occur Prom all his talk he seemed to think it was a feather In his cap to own a and ride a stallion It was always My stallion this and My stallion that If he could have heard what us fanners said about tits stallion ho maybe would have hidden it away Anyways there came a day when our little Arab filly was out in her paddock being fed oats by my young boy She was only two and I m sure you agree that no proper age for breeding I heard a noise on the road and saw this man and his animal galloping along and I could tell he wos in trouble Not wanting to take chances I called my boy to take the filly quickly and quietly into the barn beast Just then this mangy stud came flying over and through the four foot fence although he looked as though he t have managed an 18inch Jump The man fill off caught his foot in the stirrup i he had a saddle by then and was dragged across the was scared out of her wits knocked my son down and ran The stallion ran over top of him still dragging the man who finally kicked loose When dust settled I had on my hands my boy with a broken lej his ribs crushed in on one side the man with a bad concussion from being kicked in tht head and a bruised and bred filly If I had the tune I would shot that stud right then and It was a very time before my boy was again The man recovered and moved away A aborted the fitly And I sued for a substantial sum because the doctors said my boy would take longer before he could resume his normal active life
