MY HORSE

        

       You probably do not remember my horse as I do. You did not know that as he stood eating from the grain bucket less than 100 ft. from the neighbor's front porch he was shot. You did not know that he was shot 10 to 15 times thru the stomach and intestines. That he raced away in terror to the upper meadow, where he collapsed and died. He did not understand why his life was taken. You probably did not know the Tyler County Deputy did not pursuer this, or the statement that if I did not forget this then it would become a misdemeanor crime and not the Felony it was. You probably were not present when a Tyler County Deputy said he was not going to arrest his family members for committing a crime against me. Then you were not there when the Tyler County Prosecutor stated that no one would be arrested for committing crimes against me or my property. Or the day the Tyler County Sheriff said I wasn't welcome at the Sheriffs office. These facts have been held true to this day and for the more than 40 crimes from killing my livestock, arson of my barn, and shots taken at me in my yard, barn, and fields there have been no arrests. I do remember these things every time I pass thru the barn and see the saddle with the bridle hanging from the horn. I will always remember my horse as he nuzzled my pocket for that cookie or raced with me before the rain storm and I will always remember those who took his life and the refusal of law enforcement to make this wrong right. "Yes I remember my horse and I will not forget."
