Nobody. He drifted over here from Montana.

Drove the ranchers crazy.

He was wild - wild as they come.

Most beautiful stallion I ever saw.

They never found out where he lived.

But every summer for five or six years,

he used to come out of the hills and raid our

herds while they were grazing in the pastures.

He'd drive off as many mares

as he could round up.

The ranchers'losses

were getting pretty heavy.

He was very particular, too.

He selected only the best mares.

Any stallion that tried to stop him

was in for a fight.

He killed several of the finest horses

in this country.

He was a robber baron

if there ever was one. King of them all.

We were all hunting for him. Could never

get close enough to lay a rope on him.

- Whatever became of him?

- Hasn't been seen for four or five years.

He sounds more like a legend

than a real horse.

He was real enough.

He got into Rob's herd once.

Ken's mare Flicka was sired by him.

Mrs McLaughlin.

Here are the eggs you wanted.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Ken. Do they know about the surprise yet?

- Hildy, I told you.

- I didn't say anything about the colt.

- Colt? What colt?

- I wanted to tell you. Flicka's had a foal.

- She has?

- Oh, wonderful.

- It's at the barn.

- Let's go see it.

- Come along.

- It'll be a colt Mr Sargent could be proud of.

- I'll get him out so you can have a good look.

Gus! Gus.

Help me get the colt out.

Dad wants to see him.

You stay back, Hildy.

This colt'll either be black or sorrel.

It's by Banner, and he always sires true.

Sounds as if Ken's having a little trouble.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Come on. Come on.

- Don't be so stubborn.

- Can't you handle him?

Rob, he's white.

Well, well. So Banner always sires true.

- He always has.

- Banner isn't the horse Rob thinks he is.

- Now, if that had been Appalachian...

- Oh, you and your Appalachian.

I just can't understand it. A white colt.

He's just as good as any other.

- Of course he is.

- Whoa there!

Whoa!

He's a goblin, that's what he is!

He looks just like a goblin!

You keep out of this.

You hear me? You keep out of it.

- Ken, Ken.

- He's not a goblin. He's a racehorse.

- A racehorse?

- By Banner out of Flicka?

It takes a racer to sire a racer, Ken.

- He was sired by a racer.

- But Banner isn't a racer, Ken.

I know.

Just a minute, young man.

You mean Banner's not his father?

- No, sir, he isn't.

- Well, then, who did sire this colt?

- Appalachian.

- Appalachian?

- Mr Sargent's stallion?

- Yes.

Thatjugheaded colt by Appalachian?

I don't believe it.

- But it's so. Honest it is.

- Now whose horse doesn't sire true?

- What is this all about?
