Whip Handle Hazel
In about 1926 Jack Dean went into town to pick up some supplies. His transport had now progressed to a horse and buggy. For company, he took with him his 5 year old daughter, Hazel. While he was in the store getting the supplies, the horse lifted its tail and commenced to do its business. Hazel was very intrigued, so she reached over and with the end of the whip handle, shoved it into that nasty wrinkled gap. Of course the horse bolted off down the road, with Hazel holding on for dear life. Jack came out and took off after them.
Two miles down the road he found the pair. The horse was having a drink and Hazel was still holding onto the buggy seat trembling and crying. Jack said later to Reg and Frank that she stuffed that one up.
