When curating the card choices that would become Weird West Edition, I did regret that Run 'Em Down! had to be cut. Kidnappin' was what 7 of clubs would get for a Noon action and fight instigator.

but sometimes you are Booted. Or you want to avoid the mandatory going home at the completion of a job.

And sometimes your horse is meaner than you are.

Get some poor fool booted at home, walk in riding your Guide Horse or Cavalry Escort - then let the horse do what the horse is going to do.

or recharge the horse first with Vida Azul or Jon Longstride.
