Wild Horses
When the danger of straying horses in the Taupo district was being discussed by an Automobile Association, the secretary told of a motorist who had run into a wild horse and broken its leg. He had no alternative but to shoot the horse, but the problem facing him was how to dispose of the dead animal. A granger solved the problem by approaching a Maori and telling him that was a fine horse in a certain locality. He asked the Maori if he knew who the owner was and the Maori quickly replied: “By corry, he mine.” “All right,” said the ranger, “you come and get him. He komate.”
