My Fight With Paintlegs at Zapateo Springs Rodeo
I recount how, as a green horn from the States, I joined Waugh’s ranching crew at Zapateo Springs and faced a brutal, fleet mustang named Paintlegs. After a failed break, I chased, grappled, and finally captured the beast with a znal rope. The victory earns me respect among cowmen and Paintlegs becomes a prized, sober horse at Waugh’s.
