Don't Fence Me In - a screenplay

This screenplay is set in the mid 1980's. At a Country and Western Dance in the tree-top tossing dark of the Welsh borders, two plumber cowboys get waylaid by a bet to ride two horses from where they live to the Rhondda Valley, fifty miles distant, dressed as they are: Hannibal Hayes and Kit Currie. Neither of them has ever been near a horse before. The bet goes horribly wrong. Horses are lost, ambushes beset them, they wind up in a chase, hearts are broken, noses are broken, bones are broken, a girl is lost, a girl is found, a young man's dreams are answered in a way he could never have imagined, as, forced to grow up and see the folly of his actions, he realises too that had it not been for the folly of his actions, he would not have gained what he does. Life is a paradox, with or without horses.
