Montreal Teens Turn City Field Into Mini Ranch

A group of Montreal youths aged about 10 to 12, calling themselves Les Cavaliers, turned a city-owned field in Tetreaultville into a miniature ranch. They bought five horses, built a corral and a stable from scrap lumber, and kept it secret. They faced no charges after police and SPCA found the horses well cared for, though the unheated stable risks winter closure. One boy admitted taking dynamite from a nearby site to blast a well for water, but no blasting materials were used.
