Meet The Horses

Callie was captured by the United States Cavalry and then freed by a Lakota man named Little Creek. While with the Lakota tribe, Callie fell in love with a paint stallion named Rain. A few months latter, that same cavalry unit attacked the Lakota village. During the ensuing battle, a Colonel shoots Rain, and he falls into a river. The Colonel was about to shoot Little Creek, but Callie knocked him off his horse, deflecting the shot and saving Little Creek’s life. Trying to rescue Rain, Callie leaped into the river, but they both plummet over a waterfall. Once out of the water, Callie stayed by Rain’s side, only for the cavalry to recapture her and leave Rain for dead. Little Creek tended to Rain and then set out in pursuit of the Cavalry. 

Callie was then transported in a train with other captured horses from the village to a construction site for the transcontinental railroad where they are forced to sledge a steam locomotive through the woods. After noticing that the railroad would pass through her homeland, Callie tricks the men, releasing herself and the other horses. The locomotive crashed and Callie was trapped when a loose chain around her neck snags on a fallen tree. Little Creek arrived just in time to free her, and together they escaped. The next morning, the Colonel and his cavalry found Callie and Little Creek. A chase ensued through the Grand Canyon; eventually, though seemingly trapped at the edge of a wide gorge, Callie made a tremendous leap to the other side, with Little Creek on her back. Impressed the Colonel stopped his men from shooting at Callie and Little Creek, and gave the mare a nod of respect, and called off the pursuit.

Apollo was the first colt from Old Regret, a prize winning racehorse. Apollo was caught in the middle of a love triangle when two brothers – Harrison and Spur competed for the love of a woman named Matilda. Matilda declared that the first to make his fortune would be her husband. Spur went looking for Gold, while Harrison bet his life savings on a horse race. Harrison became rich overnight when Old Regret won the race. Harrison wed Matilda and bought her Apollo as a wedding gift. However, Matilda died while giving birth to their daughter Jessica.

After Matilda died, Apollo escaped the Harrison ranch and led the wild Brumby herd in the Snowy Mountain ranges. After 20 years leading the brumbies, Apollo led the herd through Henry and Jim Crag’s farm, killing Henry and taking Jim’s mare. This led to Jim getting a job working for Harrison and falling in love with Jessica. Jim and Jessica train the youngest colt of Old Regret, which is then let out by one of the Harrison ranch hands named Curly and joins the brumby herd. Jim then rounds up the the brumby herd led by Apollo and gets back the youngest foal, his mare and the entire brumby herd.

Some years later, Jim lets Apollo loose into the wild again. Some guy named Patton is jealous that Jessica likes Jim, and recruits a gang to steal Jim’s horses. Jim gives chase and in so doing rides his horse down a steep mountainside. Patton shoots at him; the horse is killed and Jim is injured. In a twist of fate, Apollo showed up and Jim is miraculously able to put a headstall bridle on Apollo and ride him to round up the stolen horses. Jim won a duel with Patton and got his horses back.  

Burro – Spanish for “donkey” is in fact not a donkey nor did he star in the animated film Shrek. Burro isn’t from Mexico and his Spanish skills are mediocre at best. Burro in no way resembles a burro in appearance or demeanor. He is well-trained and great with kids. And though he is getting up in years, he is still a quality cattle horse.   

Why then, you might ask, is this Arabian gelding named Burro? History became legend. Legend became myth. And after twenty-five years no one has any idea where the name came from. Is Burro his legal registered name? Of course not. Don’t be ridiculous. But does anybody remember what his registered name is? Absolutely not. And there would be no way of knowing unless you went and looked at his registration. Which we are obviously not going to do for this exercise.
