I think that the father keepts the horses after they get out at the end of the story. At the end he clearly decides that the horses are a good thing and shows that he enjoys them. He changed a lot from the begininng when he though they were "useless" and hated them, to being happy that they're there.
Page 131, "The hood of his coat fell away from his face, and I saw that my old man was laughing."
This quote was right after the sorrel pulls the father down and drags him forward in the snow. The son is amazed his father didn't kill the horse, but is laughing.
I think that because the boy seems to love the horses so much, and the father turned out to like them, they will end up taking them in. Also, the neighbor isn't taking care of the horses, and they could starve.
This shows the boy likes the horses and would want one: "'You'd like to have one, I bet. Wouldn't you boy?' he asked me." "Yes sir, I said." (pg. 125)
This shows the father likes the horses,"The hood of his coat fell away from his face, and I saw that my old man was laughing." (pg. 131)
This shows the nighbors weren't caring for the horses:"This is your fence to fix! I called. I pounded my hand against the loose top wire. These here are your horses! The hand dropped, and the figure without making any further acknowledgment of me or what I had said turned its back and strolled at a casual pace back into the dark maw of the barn." (pg. 127)
I think that the dad will take the horses in because he and his son both like them. "The hood of his coat fell away from his face, and I saw that my old man was laughing." This shows that he likes them because he could have killed them but he didn't. Period 6
At the end of the story when the horses break free and come on to the boy's property i think the father lets the boy keep the horses because even though the father pretended like he hated them, "useless" he really liked them, "The hood fell away from his face, and I saw my old man was laughing." and just wanted to teach the boy the lesson of the hard work it took to take care of them by mending the fence.
I think that the father didn't kill the horses and just let them live because in the story it says, "Half a dozen bright brass cartridges left the old man's hand to skip and scatter across the snow." It says that he did not kill the horses he took the bullets out of his gun. I also think that he started to like the horses more because it says in the story,"The hood of his coat fell away from his face, and I saw that my old man was laughing." If he is laughing at the horses he doesn't hate them anymore.
I think that the father will let the child keep Sorrel, the miniature horse, and then sue the neighbors for how poorly the fence condition was and how badly the horses were being cared for. "You'd like to have one,I bet. Would you boy?" the father said on page 125. "The hood of his coat fell away from his face, and I saw that my old man was laughing." On page 131.
i think that maybe the dad was going to by the horse that his son liked. the dad had him repaire the fence. which could mean he wanted to teach the boy how to take care of it.then he didn't shoot them so maybe he was gonna by one for the kid
"The Remington dropped to the ground, the bolt open, the breech empty." This shows that he was never going to kill them. I think that he might fix the fence and get some horses of his own or take these. Period 6
At the end of the story the horses break into the cow farmer's yard. The farmer is just sitting there laughing so I bet he won't end up killing them. I hope he lets his son keep Cinnamon because of their connection and because it looks like he likes the pony.
Quote1= The hood of his (the father) coat fell away from his face, and i sawthat my old man was laughing.
Quote2= ...and his shoulders were trembling in a peculiar way as he observed the interlopers on his land.
I think that the dad will go over to the horse farmers house and tell him that his horses got out because of the lack of care for the fence and the dad will ask for a horse to pay for all the hay that his horses took. Then the man will go home and tell the boy he can take which ever horse he wanted. The end
I think that the dad won't let him keep all of the horses. I think he will take them to the owner and give them a piece of his mind. Then, if the guy doesn't want his horses, he will sell all but cinnamon. He will let him keep the one that saved the other horses.
I think the horses will stay where they live but the fence won't be fixed so the houses can eat like on page 130,"But because it was snowing and all around was quiet, the scene had the feel of a holiday, and I let them eat."
They probably got fenced back in at their own end. I think that the dad bought some of his own horses, but the other ones probably went back. Like when it says "But because it was snowing and all around was quiet, the scene had the feel of a holiday, and I let them eat", the dad might have been a little mad about all the food being gone and sent them away.
I think that he let the horses live because he laughed and didn't shoot the horses when he had a clear shot. "Half a dozen bright brass cartidges left my old man's hand to skip and scatter across the snow." p.131 "The hood of his coat fell away from his face, and I saw that my old man was laughing." p.131
I think after the story the dad made the horses leave because in the middle the boy said "You've got to stop it, I said. You don't want to come over here, even if the grass looks good. My old man will shoot you if you do." pg.124 And when the boy said "The field the horses occuoied was completely skinned now, dotted with mounds of horse dung." Pg. 127 the dad probably doesn't want the field to look like that.
I think they will get to keep all of the horses because the dad finally relized that the horses were happier on his side of the fence. The dad also relized that it made his son happier to have the horses on their side of the fence. The dad realizes that the horses are unhappy on the other side of the fence and that the horses are playful and with useful istead of being "useless" at the beginning.

Quote 2: "The hood of his coat fell away from his face, and I saw that my old man was laughing."
I think the horses are taken back to the neighbors yard. quote one "a bunch of brass cartriges fell out of my dad's hand" quote two "Underneath the cowl I saw my dad laughing"
I think that the father and the son will build a new area for the horses to stay at the neighbors property, because the father still has his Remington 30-06. "In his hand, he held a Remington 30-06." "Can't work them, can't ride them, can't eat them. Useless." -Lexy A. Amme R. Rodgenee W.
I think the boy and his father keep the horses because in the beginning the father said they were useless. When he realized how poorly the horses were being treated he learned to like them. Because of the time the boy spends on the fence the dad realizes that he doesn't hate them as much as he thought he because the horses were not as useless as he thought. -Amber, Josie, and Zeke
We think that if the horses stay with the other owner they will die. Maybe the dad will get the owner in trouble fro not fixing the fence and not taking carer of the horses.We think that the owner doesn't take good care of the horses because of this quote "Their coats were long and matted,their hooves long untrimmed, curling and ugly." We think that the father will call out the neighbor for this
I think they may find a better place for them but not keep them.Page 120 Cant Work Em. Cant Ride Em. Cant Eat Em. Useless. The dad isnt very fond of them.
