They should be feeding now, or they should lie down and sleep, or stand up and sleep anything but travel like this, deliberately away from camp.

Ol' Monody had picked out the toughest pony at the Lion Head, an' he had good hands, but he never sighted me till the night I reached the ranch and was busy wipin' Starlight's legs.
