Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] ...the continuing saga of a boy and his horse... - Laurie Durgin

Ya, know there was a movie I watched (those of us who grew up on westerns) and I remeber an Indian named 'Captain Jack", I think the guy who played "Baretta" played the part. . .

Captain Jack was the name of a Modoc Indian chief in the 1800s. Ed's
mustang came from the Devil's Garden wild horse area in Modoc County, CA,
hence the name for his colt. And yes, others did buy tickets, including our
14 year old granddaughter, who wanted a mustang badly. I think I'm glad she
didn't win, however, as training a young horse is a challenging and
dangerous proposition. Good luck to Ed. It sounds like he's a pretty sharp
fellow and should make a nice mount out of this colt.
