'You"ll have to. A man on a ranch who can"t ride is about as useless as
a rifle without cartridges. Let"s see, you"ll need a safe pony to learn
on. I guess I"ll let you try old Sox. He never was mean and he still has
some speed. Pick up that saddle there,' and he pointed to what is called
a Mexican saddle, which has a high pommel and back; 'the bridle is tied
to it, and we"ll go out to the corral. You ought to get so you can do
pretty well by night. You"ve got to, because I need another puncher with
my short-horn herd over by Red Top.'
