BENTONVILLE -- Three young girls testified Wednesday their dad gave beer to the family colt to calm it down and pulled the colt behind his truck to "wear it out."
"That's why we named the horse 'Mickey,' because he likes to drink my dad's beer," said an 8-year-old girl, referring to Mickey's Malt Liquor, her dad's beer of choice.
The girls, ages 8, almost 9 and 11, were watching out the back window of their dad's red 1965 Chevy flatbed truck the June 8 morning when their dad tied the family's new yearling colt to the back and drove down gravel and paved roads in rural Gentry.
The rest is a really horrible story about what happened to that poor little pony and what the vet says. It's pretty sad. Fair warning.

Given it was in Arkansas, and Benton in particular, the horse was lucky Daddy didn't try for a Russian ending before the car ride. Maybe he would have if it was a mare. Homo sex is still taboo down there.
