The Greasy Saddle

In walked the Redeyed Stranger Bragging: he used an excessive amount of bagging gestures and words. He was told by his handler to tune down the rhetoric, as one person found him rude and overbearing. We were worried someone would use the opportunity to be mean of crasp towards him. His horse had been clipped and shampooed. The animal was a prized Belgium Draft, hows shiny black fur was a sight for even the most novice of people. The most positive thing about his rant was we foundout that he worried about someone greasing his saddle. He told one of the men To watch the pranksters. One of them might want to grease my saddle to get me out of contention.When the time came for the horse pull a fella went out and looked at all the saddles. and be hold the saddle for the Belgium Draft had been greased. A group of rider found a can of grease with a brush in the chicken coop behind the pile of cornhusks. This a story about a group of Show horse riders who incorporated "La selle Grasse" into there show. It was a scritp that involved the audience.Often the Staged show would involve horses doing tricks. "The Magnificent Athlete" a fella who wore a mask and cape would come to the rescue of the guy accussed of greasing the saddle, they'd brawl and tell the audeince who really greased the saaddle, revealing a tied up man gagged with a hankercheif in his mouth. The Masked Man than would use this forumn to catupule his rasslin carreer. He'd "work a-show" for cheap heat and get the pop he needed to get over with the crowd. ( He was raising money to start his restaurant)
