Julio could
hardly believe his eyes. The cats, rats and
wolves already had the trailer made! And the
beavers had finished the walkway up to it.
They even had a roof over the front 1/3 of
the trailer and high sides so the horses couldn’t
see out. J was so excited about the construction
he handed Pepper over to G. They’d need to
adjust those stirrups to fit him. He got a
swift kick in his behind by the stirrup when
he slid off. He ran over to check out the inside
and outside of the contraption. "Hey,
this is gonna’ work good!" he told Frizzle
and Frazzle. "Yeah, all we have left to
do, is make the feeders and the back door.
That will be fast and easy." said Frazzle. "Yeah,
probably haver her done before lunch tomorrow," said
J. "Righto!" said Frizzle.
Then J went to check on his frogs and snails.
All accounted for. When he turned around he saw
a crowd around the horses admiring their new
saddles and blankies. You thought they were dazzling
before, with just their new blankies! They were
really handsome now, trimmed in brass and silver.
Mober was posing for the crowd; not a proud bone
in her body! Ha! Mice, rats, beavers, the wolves,
the FF’s … all were ooohhing and aaahhing over
how good the horses looked. Even the guard flamingoes
raised an eyebrow and saluted them.
"Well now, where are we gonna keep all this
excellent tack?" G said to J. Frazzle heard
her and showed them the tack room under the front
of the ferry trailer contraption. "Perfect!" shouted
G. "You guys think of everything!" So they
unsaddled and took all their new tack and blankies
and stored them in the new trailer compartment. Actually
penguins were on hand to carry the tack.
The suns were getting low now and casting long
shadows. The horses were rolling and rubbing their
backs on the grass after having all that people
stuff on them! Now Julio was beginning to see the
problem an Assjack could be. Would they be able
to put her in with the horses? She didn’t know
a thing about electric fences. Would they tie her
to a tree all night? "Aha!" said smarty
pants Julio. "I’m gonna take Cool up to the
ship and put her in a stall." "Good idea,
Hoo," said G. The Cool led perfectly now.
Even da Muff could lead her. Julio put Cool in
a stall with hay, some grain and water, and took
her fancy halter and gray lead rope off. I think
the Hoo man was actually tired after that long
ride. And of course he was getting hungry. But
he needed to go back and get Mober and Pep too,
since they were all sleeping on the ship tonite.
So the little man went and did his chores, brought
the horses up, gave them hay and water and said
goodnight yawning. There were 6 stalls, so plenty
of room for all three of them. Mober had a stall
that had a door inbetween that opened up into a
larger stall, all to herself. Pepper was on the
other side of Cool and getting aquainted with the
lop-eared thing, .. I mean, Assjack.
