My horses were shocked by a
non-functioning electric fence.
A friend of mine, a veteran
stockman, constantly attempts to
convince me that at the time of
their initial contact with this now
deceased live-wire my horses were
stung with sufficient current to
instill into them a lasting
reluctance towards further
proximity to the supposed
hot-line.
! do not buy this. I firmly
believe that they were frightened
not by the obstacle itself but by
the dubious decor.
Perhaps I should begin at the
beginning when in early spring I
purchased, ostensibly for my
decidedly disinterested
grandchildren, a beautiful little
mare who has to date
lackadaisically carried the less
than delighted kids around the
corral some half a dozen times
and upon whose short-coupled
and well-rounded back their
ecstatic grandmother has spent
many happy summer hours.
Little Dell'was initially
confined to a box stall and an
a djace nt enclosure where she
flirted over the rails with my two
fatuously frustrated geldings.
After several weeks of such
foolishness had led to an
apparently mutual acceptance, !
ventured to give her the freedom
of the pasture.
Bedlam ensued. My shameful
horses, outraged at the temerity
of this encroaching newcomer,
drove her at full gallop from fence
corner to fence corner until my
wrathful bellows penetrated their
one-track minds and they were
successfully stabled in their
respective stalls.
"Poor Little Dog," I said to
myself. "She's scared half to
death and I'll never be able to
catch her !"
I was wrong. Even as the
words melted into memory she
was running toward me. She
braked to a screaming halt and
tucked her trembling head
beneath my arm.
Back she went to private
quarters while an electric wire was
strung down mid-meadow to
protect her rights and to ensure
that she receive equal opportunity
with no hint of discrimination.
The fine line drawn to guard
rather than to exclude the female
of the species was almost
invisible. In order to make the
small but mighty barricade more
readily obvious to the horses I

Public opinion unjust
Nothing is more unjust or

D,C,: $9,66 an hour.
You can call cross-country,
talk for a full sixty minutes and
pay only $9.66, plus tax.
That's if you call before 8 a.m.
and dial direct without operator
assistance.
Other-hour calls across the
country are also inexpensive.
Go ahead. Reach out and
touch someone you love. By
phone.
Just hearing those special
voices is worth it, any day ofthe
year.
Pacific Northwest Bell
tied to it at not too widely spaced
intervals shining strips of white
cloth.
First ! utilized all available
rags. Then the extra sheets were
sacrificed. Finally the kitchen
curtmins met their fate and there
still remained to be adorned
several hundred feet of fencing.
I sought the universal answer
to my dilemma by haunting the
weekend garage and rummage
sales. It is utterly amazing how
little white material is discarded.
In order to meet my quota I
bought armloads of old bras, and
in order to get the most for my
nickel I purchased, naturally, the
largest sizes pebble.
These were subsequently
flown at half mast from the
heretofore empty expanse of
fence and an impressive sight they
were, whipping madly in their
prodigious magnitude and bulging
bawdily as they filled and
billowed in the violent valley
winds.
Since an electric clothes dryer
is one of the many little luxuries I
have seen fit to forego in order to
support my three horses in the
manner to which most equines
would like very much to become
accustomed, I maintain a short
length of sagging clothesline
within shying distance of the
barnyard; but the dark and
curious orbs of the Arab and the
highly suspicious hazel eyes of Big
William had never noted with any
degree of undue interest the
rather insignificant display of my
own meager unmentionables.
My malfunctioning electric
fence conducts no current.
However, neither of those
geldings will go anywhere near
those fluttering size 48 D-cups.
Many a so-called
live-wire large
upon the horizon
has lost his charge;
but past performance
will see him through
on the basis of that
which he used to do.
Nobody knows
that he's not so hot,
that the current has dimmed
and the wad is shot.
