The paperwork said that the horse's name was 'Butterslice'. The name it was most commonly called in the stable was 'fucking demon animal'.
The horse would kick, and bite, and buck, and rear, whenever any attempt was made to move or clean it, and also half the times someone tried to feed it.
Every local cowboy who was sure they could tame it never got it out of the stable.
Until, eventually, the young rookie stablehand hopped on and rode it out safely.
The fact the stable had to be on fire for this to work invalidated its repeated use.
