I wanted a horse when I was a little girl of 4 or 5. There were a lot of westerns on television in the mid to late 1950's and after every big battle there were always horses walking around with bridles and saddles...and they didn't have owners anymore. I decided that I would go out west, when I got a little older, and get me one of these "free" horses. Little did I realize that since I lived on the west coast of Washington state I was already "out west" and the wars I saw on television had occured in the previous century. There were no horses free for the taking.
