Retribution

Apparently, the fracture isn't too bad, otherwise, I would think that Moss would take the horse back to where it could receive medical attention (possibly form Doc?), and not just let it go off on its own.  Also, I'm thinking that either the horses go up and down this trail on a pretty regular basis, or this particular horse is somehow a relative of Bill the Pony, and can find its way back no matter where it happens to be .  (Yay Bill!  Sorry, just me once more latching onto an incidental character in a movie.  He made it back safe, you know, but I guess the reunion would have made the movie all that much longer, and added another ending, not that that's a bad thing.)

If I were Cherry or Moss, I'd keep my distance from Kelly and Brawny.  That goat looks like he's on a mission (that, or has discovered a place on Earth where gravity no longer exists), and that mission can't be good for our two trouble makers.  (Hey, Brawny was holding the camera, so he's what you'd call an accomplice.)  I guess the poor mules are just going to have to pick up the slack, but if I were that pony, I might be thinking about heading back down the trail with the injured horse.  Sure, they didn't ride you before, but now they're down a saddle, and desperate times may call for desperate measures.

And on a somewhat related note, where's Mark?  Shouldn't we have at least gotten some sort of an update on his camping trip with Rusty by now?  (Maybe they cut the trip short and went into town to buy Moss a new hat since his seems to have shrunk.)
