[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]

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
