Haha yup.

Or even if horse and rope are there, is the horse saddled? Is it fed? Shoed? There are so many variables.

As I understand it, this fellow works with his horse every day. He was at Walmart and saw the commotion. His horse was saddled and ready and I'm pretty sure it didn't take 10 seconds to have him out of the trailer and ready to help his owner wrangle that petty thief.

That pcture that's posted elsewhere (I think this story has been posted like a dozen times) of the thief holding fast to a small tree with his lasso'd feet held taut by the horse is Pulitzer-worthy.
