Then there was a small saddle strap that went under my tail: that was the crapper. I hated it, it stopped me having a crap. I never felt more like kicking so I kicked him in the goolies & they swelled up like melons. He had to put the harness on me while balancing his balls with one hand & could only move very slowly. In time I got used to everything (and he got used to swollen balls) & I could do my work as well as my mother. I used to wash up after dinner. Yes, I was a very good horse. ...
