Nancy McPherson - I am wife Judge McPherson. My husband got a horse from Capn Batchelen - he kept him two weeks - The horse was in a bad condition when my husband got him, couldn't do anything - he wasn't able to plough - he kept him two weeks in the two weeks, we ploughed a row or two, when the horse got right smart, my husband then put him in the wagon and went on a visit - as soon as Mr Batchelen found that the horse was getting smart he took him away. My husband carried the horse over, Mr Batchella sent for it
My horse did some work, about two or three days after he got horse & pay towards him -
The horse was improving when he was carried back, the people about the place were feeling quite proud at the way he improved
I felt right bad as he was pickup at and I was going to have help.
