i think we ought to sell the yard sell
up start afresh but what about marty
marty
look we could get a few hundred quid for
that yard and a bit of capital's all i
want to start up something else another
business so who wants marty i do
i'm the only one who loves him

mummy her tea parties the chauffeurs
that huge car
do you know in our house in london we've
got pillars all the way up the stairs

you know you can't tell jip anything
he knows it all
there's no way to treat a horse
well can't we do something oh come on

about another one
poor marty
so
[Music]
get me the police
[Music]
caught you oh there you are your magic
potions aren't working so well are they
just wait
you'll see
come on
[Music]
what's the matter fella
he can hear something
perhaps it's a fox
i can't hear it
he's got better than we have
but there is something
let's go the way he wants
[Music]
so
[Applause]
[Music]
not another horse
where'd you find him
up by the grange
just standing there
well the police have been on the fence
it must be the charity horse the one the
examiner gave to the boy he saved his
life but that's what the paper said you
clever steve get the horse box and take
him back yeah you know it's funny the
way the police always ring us the minute
a horse disappears we've got it
honey still
the minute our horse disappears we have
who looks after him you yeah
by yourself yeah
but this head store's a bit too small
you shouldn't keep it so tight oh it's
all right that's so he likes it
this way you keep him yeah
i'll take it come on
where do you keep all your bedding uh
there isn't any we're waiting for
something
this stuff's filthy he could get thrush
you know oh it's all right perfectly all
right
how long have you been looking after
horses oh uh a long time how long
since i was born a lot after my dad's
well yeah
he died didn't he
sorry
do you do it all yourself now
yeah how do you think he gets out
well mr garrett next door
he wants mom to sell the yard
so he lets him out yeah
how do you
know i just know
he said he just knows
what would he want to do that for
he reckons the police are going to get
tired of having to keep up chasing marty
and they'll bring him to a place
well to a place like ours
it's sad though he's really frightened
of that
why
he went to one once a bit back
they whipped their horses
treated him cruelly
surely not
somebody told him
i would do a thing right now you would
for a start that's just the sort of
thing you would do
you want to watch that stuff you know
smell it out frightening horses
that's cruel i should think they like it
yeah
frightens me
horrible punk
it was our farm the kid came to you know
and it was ron that told him we were
cruel to the animals i might have
guessed
now we've got to find out who's opening
the stable doors
it's true then you think that someone's
letting him out on purpose well all the
bolts on the doors are safe enough
listen
don't tell anybody
me and the kid are gonna try and find
out who's doing it
[Music]
cold no
will you be missed i mean does your
mother look into your room on a night no
[Music]
it's all dark at garrett
no sign of anything there
must have gone on by now
everybody will be asleep
[Music]
you know
looking after horses isn't as easy as
you think
there's a lot you've got to know
oh no
but do you think it's fair on marty try
and look after him by yourself
i can manage
[Music]
all our horses are happy you know it's
because they're probably looked after no
they're not you're cruel don't be so
daft we all love our horses then why do
you obey them
[Music]
[Music]

jumping me in my own place
you're letting the horse out was it to
you if i was it's my business

a nuisance but mom said mom said it
could stay well i did at the time i
didn't know what to do well now you do

other people's business you can bring
that horse box to yours tomorrow and
