worse for her post-breaking experience.
And just the other evening at dusk she shied five feet when a
rabbit popped out of the fence row 10. feet ahead of her.
Stupid? Yes. But it is worth a lot of dollars a year to me to see
them cavorting in the back field on a cool morning.
There's something about the outside of a horse that does
wonderful things to the inside of a man.

It also passed a by-law that
requires landowners to keep

condition to reduce fire and
accident risk.
When the clerk was asked how
it would , be enforced he said:
"This is another question. There
isn't anyone yet to enforce that."
He said the by-law gives no one
the authority to enforce it.
The township finally completed
its standing by-laws which it has

"You're right, Dad," said our little eight-year-old cowgirl.
"Horses are wonderful but they're stupid, too." •
• My first experience with a horse was when I was about her age.
On my uncle's farm back in those days, tractors were a novelty, not
a necessity. He had about four big, plodding work horses with huge,
011' dishpan-size feet and delicate, long feathers from the fetlocks.
One of them was named DoIlie and she became my favorite. My
cousin and I rode her for miles around that farm and down to the
banks of the Scugog River. She had three speeds; slowdamned slow
and stopped. The only time her pace quickened perceptibly was
when she headed back to the barn.
Then— and only then— would she break into the semblance of a
trot. The rest of the time, no matter how we pounded her sides or hit
her rump with a willow gad, she plodded stolidly along as though
plowing a straight furiow.
And that was her idea of things: straight. She knew-the shortest
fp distance between two points was a straight line and she would plod
through sallygad swamps, sumacs, burdocks and cedar saplings to
get to the spot she thought we wanted her to go.
One of the most traumatic experiences of my childhood was
seeing a dead horse being pulled but of the blacksmith's shop. A
group of us youngsters were cycling past the smithy,. the only one
left in town when a tow truck pulled up in front of the s hop,
The driver, as unfeeling as an undertaker, put a chain around the
animal's neck and unceremoniously hauled the big body down the
road, dragging out of sight.
The owner of the animal explained to us that the big gelding was
quite old and had died of a heart att ack while being shod.
I'll never forget the sight of that horse being dragged "to the glue
factory."
An old friend of mine named Sam Endicott, rest his soul, loved
everything about horses: the sounds, the smells, the look, the
soulful eyes of the better animals, and their feet. I suppose in
today's psychological jargon one could say Sam had a horse's foOt
fetish. He loved their feet and fetlocks. He bought — and sold ,—
horses just by looking at their feet or extolling the virtues of their
feet.
My chauvinistic pig of an uncle said that all horses should be
• viewed just as a man views-a good woman: a good chest and sound,
straight legs.
I do not, of course, agree with him-Horses aren't peoPte7-frey
are wonderful animals. We have had horses around us for 15 years.
We now have three: an old brood mare and two colts out of her
which we have trained ourselves.
Although many will dispute it, each of them has a distinct
personality. The oldmare is as pa tient as, Job.
She knows she is going to get her oats or her pail of water and she
stands quietly waiting while her two daughters snort-and tramp and
fuss until the oat boxes -are-filled. The other two hammerheads are
full of virn and vinegar and will kick water pails over to be thefirst to
f get at them.
The four-year-old will feign a bite if she doesn't get `preference.
But with a saddle on her back, she is willing and eager to please"
The three-year-old, her full sister, still tries all kinds of trickS undef
saddle. If she hasn't been ridden for a couple of days she'll jump
and buck for 10 or 15 minutes until she finds out who is bass.
As smart as 'they seem to be, they can be stupid. .
All three of them burst out of the corral yesterday morning when I
let the bars down and scared the bejapers out of me. They stormed
through the opening and the youngest stumbled stupidly into a
of. post. The post snapped likk a rifle shot. The colt stopped, shook her
't-head and ambled into the fiejd.,making, vu isar noises, none the
