I was a wonderin .....................

I just watched an old Roy Rogers movie. Something dawned on me.

Why were BAD guys horses, always slower than GOOD guy's horses?

I have watched many old westerns during my years, and I don't think the BAD guys ever outran the GOOD guys. Some BAD guys lost the GOOD guys by hiding, or turning a different direction or some such skulduggery  but never outran one.

I would think that a BAD guy, when buying or stealing a horse, would ask or check, to see how fast it is. "Hi podner, wanna buy me a horse, need a really fast one. I'm an outlaw and and a bank robber, and there are times I need to get away really fast. Have you ever seen Roy Rogers horse, I need one faster than Trigger."

I have never heard a BAD guy at the end of the movie, say, "Whew, I outran that GOOD guy, he sure had a slow horse."

The GOOD guys always one, and that's the way it should be, even in real life.
