i'm sorry dora it was silly of me
for a moment i thought it was galahad
girl ahead
whose g*n
my sister's horse
the one
the one
the horse that trampled her
trampled
he tried to k*ll her
what happened
you won't believe it
diane didn't like horses in fact i think
she hated them
but i rode so she had to ride i had a
horse so she had to have a horse
i think if i'd had a wooden leg
she treated ghana head horribly
i could get jasmine to do anything
if you're kind there's no animal or
eager to show gratitude it's true isn't
it
what jasmine did to please me
diane tried to make galahad do
by force
day after day dora
i tried to tell her
in the end
galahad was so frightened he'd shake
actually shaped with fear whenever diane
went near him
the other week we were out riding
galahad took her to the top of the hill
there are lots of rocks there and
he walked into the middle of them
and he threw her off
i jumped down and ran across but
before i could get there
gal had trampled on her he seemed to be
kicking her
he tried to k*ll her oh come on you're
imagining things
as i got to where she was lying on the
ground
galahad came for me
his eyes were red dora
he reared
i i ran away
some men went out
i don't know if he attacked deanna again
or not
she was unconscious
her ribs her arms
face
and galahad
they shot him
i don't believe it
so you keep saying
do you
well something scared her
dora have you ever heard of a horse that
they're not like that dora
it was panic what do you bet i've seen
it a dozen times
do you know what this one's called

but you've given up jumping haven't you

he lost his nerve
colonel wants me to school him wants you
to
[Music]

i know dora i'm not trying to
anyway

they were made for each other
they both lost their nerve
they can both get it back again
together

we'll find a way
we'll get them together if it's the last
thing we do
we can hypnotize her oh run no why not
you are a world's champion jockey and a
big race is about to begin
we're trying to be serious ron we could
put her in the middle of a desert and
the only way home
is on horseback and you just happen to
have a horse handy

yeah forever sacrum if you can't help
just
here i'll tell you what we could shut
caesar in the loo

later
