It is a great feel-good story, but one that puzzles me when I consider the time management of the characters in this adventure. Well at least it ended well with the hero on his horse riding into the sunset while the villain, vanquished and in custody of the lawman, angrily looks on.
I actually just moved down here a couple of years ago after my last duty station in Washington. Up there, especially in Oregon and Eastern Washington, it's pretty common for those with horses to ride them around in public areas, so most of the time, when you see a horse in a trailer, it's usually rigged up for a ride.
