Randall's Pony

For her 5th bday, Randall wanted a Spirograph. Instead her father bought her a horse. Named Satan. Not a pony, but a horse. Excuse me, let me clarify, a Tennessee Walker stallion. Satan was aptly named because not only did he kick down 2 stall doors, but he threw Randall's father and then attempted to stomp his head once Papa hit the dirt. Then when her mother tried to ride Satan, she also got thrown off and was left with a broken back. After witnessing this all first hand, one can imagine why Randall never went near Satan. Apparently Tennessee Walkers are supposed to be calm, easily trained creatures, and I stress the word apparently. Randall's mother's back eventually healed and they sold Satan to someone who I'm sure had no idea what he was in for.
