There you go, Miss Sienna.

How does that feel?

Uh, fine, I think.

Are you sure Mr. Coates won't mind?

Nah.

Bonnie needs to be exercised.

I wish Bonnie was my horse.

Well, she's up for auction in a couple of days.

No!

Your father said he was going to buy you a horse. One day, when we can afford

it. It's your birthday soon.

He's got to buy sheep, not horses.

Oh, well, you never know your luck.

Maybe.

Are you ready?

Come on then, follow Beauty.

Come on, Bonnie.

What's the matter, Beauty?

Coat!

Oh, no!

Hey, what's going on here?

What are you doing with my horse, you young thieves?

She's bolted! Becky!

Come on, Beauty!

Whoa, buddy.

Whoa. Whoa.

Stop it, Mr. Coates.

Can't you see that you're scaring over all that noise?

Jack, get that horse back to my yard.

I'll be telling your parents about this young lady.

moved into the neighborhood fee, and you're already making trouble.

I'm sorry, Father.

When I said you could lend a ride, that didn't include horse stealing.

It really wasn't Fiona's fault, Mr. McKellar.

She thought she had permission.

It's one thing getting yourself into trouble, Vicky.

Quite another leading your friend astray.

We didn't mean any harm.

Besides, Mr. Coates is selling Bonnie anyway.

Vicky.

Oh, and I suppose you thought I'd be buying her for your birthday.

Well, I don't like your chances of that now.

You two go outside while I have a word with Mr. McKellar.

Off you go.

I'm sorry about all this, Dan.

Vicky knows Mr. Coates and his ways.

She should never have let Fiona on one of his horses.

Ah, they're equally to blame, I'm sure.

I just don't want my daughter getting a bad name around here.

When it comes to a bad name, Mr McKellar, I think you'll find Mr Coates

all.

It's not your fault, Faye.

Mine.

You said I could ride Nessa's dining tour.

But I wanted to ride Bonnie.

Oh, here you are with the horses, I might have guessed.

I really am very sorry.

Never mind, my girl.

Wouldn't have happened if you'd had a horse of your own, would it?

I've been promising you one for years, haven't I?

If I can get those sheep at the auction for 30 guineas, you can have your

bonnie.

Oh, Denny, thank you.

New nails, indeed.

There's nothing to put them into.

It's new shoes you need, Franco.

These are fair worn out.

It's up for sale.

I don't want to spend any money on it. Well, if you want to get good brass for

this horse, it should be shod properly.

Well, just something plain.

Only a fancy shoes, right? And cheaper. I know.

Oh, isn't she beautiful?

My Bonnie.

Oh, are you going to buy this horse then, Fiona?

My daddy is. For my birthday.

Well, you won't be wanting cheap shoes then, will you?

But Mr. Coates said... What Mr.

Coates doesn't know won't hurt him, will it?

Good

morning,

Dan.

He's the one.

Hey, looks like it.

What do you think?

Well, it'd be worth a beat if a man was short on dog tucker.

Ah, good day, Mr. Coates.

You taught your daughter a lesson yet, Mr. McKellar?

She won't be troubling you again.

Good.

Say, are you getting on with the old codder all right?

Fine, just fine.

Wish you luck.

It'll take a hard man to make a guy out of that land.

Highlands of Scotland don't breed weaklings, Mr. Coates.

They like the look of their shape, do they?

Aye. And you?

Like I said, dog tucker.

I've got plenty of that.

Yes, I see you have some of your horses in for this afternoon.

Good answer, Denny.

I'd say it's a penny to a pound that friend Coates has decided to branch out

into Marinos.

Possibly.

Maybe he's just trying to make you nervous.

I hope so.

There's nothing else up for sale at this time of the year.

And I have to stock that land to pay for the mortgage, Mrs. Denning.

Ah, if they just drop a little word his way, then you'll be doing me a favour.

And why would I be wanting to do that, Frank?

Well, I've got about two or forty chain of feats to go across the back boundary.

Nothing to go all the way into town for, is there?

Mr. McKenna.

Settling in well, are we? Aye, well enough, Mr. Button.

I couldn't help noticing that you were showing some interest in that pen of

Marino's.

That's right.

I might be able to give you some advice.

One neighbor to another, you know.

What do you mean?

I was here last night when the agent brought that stock in.

I couldn't help overhearing him say they were in the primary stages of foot rot.

Is that right?

Yes, a terrible thing, the foot rot.

Could be that you won't get them home.

And one of the worst things about foot rot is... I see you're getting the

benefit of Mr Burton's veterinary advice, Dan.

Well, I was just... Mr Burton was warning me about the dangers of foot

I was just passing on some information, that's all.

Did you see any signs of foot rot?

Well, it's very hard to pick, you see.

Oh, is that right?

I've never had any trouble picking it.

Well, you're the expert, Mrs. Denning.

I just hope that Mr. McKellar doesn't live to regret it.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to start the auction.

Is he always like that?

No.

Sometimes he can be quite unpleasant.

guineas once, twice.

Sold for 12 guineas to that gentleman over there.

Which brings us to lot 17. Ah, the marinos, the fine animals, and good

of the breed.

Now, can someone start me with 20?

20 guineas. Here we go.

I'm bit 20.

Do I hear 22?

22 I have.

Do I hear 24?

I have 26.

Pretty expensive dog pucker, Mr. Coates.

And 28. 28 I am bid.

I hear 30.

I'll take one guinea bid. I'm sorry, Fee. That's all right, Daddy.

Going once at 30.

Ah, 31 guineas I have.

There's nothing else you wanted to say, Mr. McKellar?

Sold for 32 guineas to Mr. Coates.

Well, at least you can have your horse now, Fee.

But what are you going to do for stock?

there'll be other sales.

Don't you worry, Fee.

You know the terms, Mr.

Kurtz.

Cash on completion.

Just as always.

I can't make an exception for anyone.

Listen, I've got a pen full of horses here for this afternoon.

They're worth twice as much as this lot. Well, perhaps if the vendor's agent's

willing to take a risk with the horses.

Not if it's Frank Coates' stock he wants.

I'm afraid it's casual nothing, Mr. Coates.

Otherwise, I have no option but to declare a default.

Well, you can just forget about that fencing commission burden.

Coates can't pay.

There appears to have been a default on lot 17.

The next highest bid was... 31 guinea.

If someone has the cash to pay...

Lot 17, sold for 31 guineas.

I'm sorry, but I had to have a wee cry.

I usually do my rounds in the trap.

So you're welcome to ride my horse whenever I don't need him.

Thank you, Mrs. Denning.

But I know it isn't the same thing.

Daddy did try to buy her with his last pound, but the bidding went too high.

There'll be other horses, you'll see.

Not like Bonnie.

I'm going to say goodbye to her now.

Come with me.

hadn't driven the price up so high, that lass would have had her whole.

Would you mind if we said goodbye to Bonnie?

Have I bought your horse, lassies?

No.

I'm just very fond of her.

Oh, well, you'll still be seeing her from time to time.

I tell me where's all around these parts.

Do you?

Hey, what's that horse of yours think he's doing?

Oh, my mother wants to buy a new car.

Do you mind if I have a look?

Oh, if you like.

badly to noise.

Makes her bolt.

Makes her bolt?

I can't have a horse that's frightened of me pots and pans.

No, it doesn't seem very sensible, does it?

Do you think I paid two quid for this horse?

She's not worth ten, Bob.

What about a pound?

What? A pound.

Yes, we can give you a pound for her.

Where would young lasses like you be getting a pound?

My daddy bid a pound for Bonnie.

know he'll buy her.

All right, you get me the pound and the horse is yours.

But be quick, mind. I've got to get on to the next township before nightfall.

But Dad's already gone.

I'll get him.

I'll catch up on beauty.

Well, you've got 30 minutes to do it, lass.

No problem.

I'll be back before you know it.

Oh, which way did he go?

Don't worry I'll find him.

Well she's been gone a fair while now young lady.

I really don't know how much longer I can wait.

Oh, please wait.

She won't be long.

Well, I've been thinking.

I could sell this horse at the next settlement for twice as much.

It's really not worth me while.

But you promised.

Please.

Yeah, I must be going soft in the head.

Selling horses to children.

Where's he gone, beauty?

I was so sure he'd be on that road.

Can you ride her bareback?

Yeah. Good lad.

Oh, please don't take Bonnie away from me.

I'm a businessman, lassie, not a charity.

Oh.

Mrs. Denning!

Don't let him take my horse.

Would you tell the girl to calm herself down, madam?

It's no use, Beauty.

The tinker must have gone by now.

That must be Mr. McKellen

now.

Beauty, good boy.

Down there.

But it's too steep.

Bye then.

Here we go.

All right, lass, that's enough. We're off.

I'm sure my daughter will be here soon.

And I'm sure I'll be a rich man one of these days, too.

Look!

There's Vicky now.

You are, sir?

Payment in full.

I've never seen such a to -do in me life.

Well, I suppose I'll have to sell you the horse now.

The bonnie is mine.

Ay, lass, she's yours.

Al Fatiha.
