ladder it's all got to be reckoned

his daughter i don't think i shall be

here can you let him try out tammany

what

to take away yes he's gonna buy him buy

him

but

what we don't sell our horses

why ever not

they're here to be looked after it's

their home if someone wants to buy a

horse and can look after it properly why

shouldn't he buy it from us

deep depression moving from the east

wouldn't you say thunder by the look of

it

yeah

case it rains

something up

he as good as said we didn't look after

the horses properly

right oh come sure he didn't yes he did

he said some lawyer could do more for

tammany than we do well when it comes to

legal matters milad perhaps tammany

wants a divorce

well

here we go again

dora

dora i'm sorry

i was only kidding

what did he say

he's going to sell one of the horses

tammany

it's a good horse there's no need for it

to be here yes there is

look we've more horses than we stores

for already what are you gonna do if a

real deserving case comes along a horse

that really needs care turn it away

course not then where you gonna put it

[Music]

i just don't want him to sell

tammany that's all

[Music]

why is he picked on tammany

because he's so quiet

yes

when's that lawyer chap coming

in the morning

why

and if tamily wasn't quiet

if he was frisky

say you fed him on oats from now on

not just three feet a day but as many as

you can get down him

and kept him shut up in a dark stable

all day yeah

by the time that lawyer arrives pow oh

steve that's great yeah it isn't it

you go get the oats i'll take them up to

the top stable it's darker

hey

hope the colonel doesn't arrive tomorrow

okay that's right isn't it

i've got to run ernie uh

rest you know

sacrificing your last years to save a

horse

darth silly family he's a quiet or silly

well behaved

now any of the others all of all great

groups

of course no one's going to come and

look at them are they oh no no i need a

quiet one

hello

to know

steve

bendigo not arrived

no

he's late

tammany ready

yes uncle saddled up

now what are we going to do

nothing we can do

it's what tammany does that matters now

yep he's here

steve

[Applause]

god just look at it

[Music]

okay

[Music]

do we have to have the saddle so tight

they don't like it

make you more frisky

[Music]

whoa oh wendy you've met my daughter

haven't you colonel yes yes indeed

how are you wendy oh very well thank you

is that the horse

well yes

looks a bit wild

to me no no

i assure you

oh

hello

hello

oh steve this is mr bending and this is

his daughter wendy who tamman is for he

was a bloke uh well i couldn't give

wendy a wild beast like that

she wouldn't know how to control him

he's like a bronco look i'm sure

no no please let us leave it at that

very nice of you to have let us have a

look

[Music]

but he's so beautiful daddy perhaps i

could try and see if

yes i could help

careful steve hold on to him tightly

otherwise you've jumped the gate and

escape

again

again

tammany

what an earth you talking

about time we were going come along

wendy

no

but look look mr bendiga i'm sure

there's some explanation explanation

it's easy

there's a saying the way of a man with a

maid be strange but nothing compared to

the way of a man with a horse when

buying or selling the same

come along wendy

[Music]

oh

[Music]

so

[Music]

no i'm not leaning on him

i just remarked it was time he's retired

well now look here dochetty i have an

idea i've been up to a place a place

called folly foot where they take in old

horses retired ones you know like ranger

what

very well then like rangers should be

now why don't you take ernie up there

and show him the place they're a bit of

a funny lot and they act peculiarly but

if you can persuade them to take ranger

in

then

yes well it'll solve one problem i

suppose

no i'm giving it a try

goodbye

ah

there now tammy

did we rescue from a fate worse than

death then

yes we did

and steve nearly turned traitor on you

didn't he tried to ruin everything no i

didn't

didn't he

just because of a pretty face

there

now he's got all cross

yes i have

you're acting like a spoiled child

just because you succeeded in keeping

tammany you think your troubles are over

don't you

but we're still overcrowded aren't we

just you wait till a horse comes along

that really needs help

baby talk your way out of that one

[Music]

so

[Music]

i do

you looking for someone

ah we were totally good help

uh

anyway mr uh perkins likes what he says

perhaps we could discuss yes of course

come on in have a look around

there is just one thing

we've no more room

we're full up i'm afraid

what is it do you have a horse mr

perkins there's got one

should have been put out to grass years

ago but it's still pulling a coal cart

up thack its rise

oh

just have to go on pulling won't he

seeing as how we've no more room

that's it then isn't it hey hey hold on

i don't have

you may see i've got room for even one

not one

i'm sorry

how old is he the horse

well i've had him 25 years

28 maybe 29.

and don't worry miss

he's as strong as an ox-hole ranger is

he wouldn't be able pensioned off any

more than anybody would but sack its

rise takes it in his stride

it's a sight to see misses them working

horses they get the bit between their

teeth

shoulders wide and rippling

flanks shining

nostrils fled

man it wins head tossing and proud

it's something to see is that

[Music]

[Music]

yeah hey come on come on get up

[Music]

come on

[Music]

i see

ernie doesn't love that anymore than i

do

i thought

he keeps working to save the horse

doesn't that's what he says

listen only comes from a generation when

horses worked earned their keep

if they didn't

well

they just had to that's all

it's not the aussies worried about it's

him as doesn't want to

retire you don't give a figure about the

odds

[Music]

steve

i'm sorry

[Music]

well what do you want me to do i've said

i'm sorry

i just don't understand you

you're up and down like a yo-yo

if you're gonna be nice to me now it's

because you want something

i'm sorry i shouldn't have said that

it's true

no it

isn't just forget it

here we go again

what's new

we've made a mistake steve

a terrible mistake

what not selling tammany

we've made a mistake

we well it was your idea about the oats

because you didn't want him sold and you

told them we were full up we are

and that man doesn't really love the

horse and it shouldn't be working

he only keeps it going up sakit's right

so he doesn't have to retire himself

steve i know you're gonna say i told you

so but we've got to have ranger here and

sell tammany and

steve i've mucked everything up

will you help

because i don't know what to do

i just don't want any of the horses to

leave

dora we have to

just once in a while

doesn't happen very often it's happening

now

yeah

it's happening now

you better explain it all to the colonel

there are cards on the table

it's gonna be furious

like the oats

and everything

yeah i'm afraid he is

do you want me to tell him

the sky's fallen the chicken said

upon my poor bald head

i'm going to see the king

come on

back me up steve

[Music]

when end things with a bit of luck oh

dentist

slugger's own blend instant deep frozen

busting with flavor gut rotting poison

you what

stuffing a horse with oats

what sort of video trick is that may i

ask

i left me standing there looking like a

complete idiot

something

once and for all dora he is came to be
