Chambers stumbled backward, losing his footing. He tumbled onto the trailer ramp and sent his Stetson flying. Spooked by the hat, Rebel reared up again and yanked the lead rope from Mr. Chambers’ hands. Suddenly from behind the trailer, a lasso loop sailed through the air and slipped over Rebel’s flailing head. “Way to go, Mom!” Skye yelled. “She has him!” Morgan yelled. Skye stretched forward, watching Mrs. Chambers who had just thrown the lasso and was tying her end of the rope around one of the corral fence posts. Rebel yanked and pulled, reared and neighed, but Mrs. Chambers’ tie held secure. “I’ve got him, Tom!” Mrs. Chambers yelled. “This is like some kind of Wild West show with Rebel the Wonder Horse showing off big time,” Skye said. “I hope no one gets hurt,” Morgan said. “That horse is nuts.” Wanda’s brain was stuck with only one thought. Mr. Chambers scrambled to his feet and groped at the lead rope that dangled and bounced from Rebel’s head.
