An Animal Lover
None of the other horsemen would ask this of him,
but he would tend to all of the horses after a hard day of riding.
He would feed and give water to every single one of them.
While they were grazing he would groom them
and talk to them also when he thought no one was listening.
He would feed a hungry stray dog or malnourished cat.
He loved animals but was never really known for that.
Most focus on the very violent and very short life he had lived.
This animal lover was none other than the legendary Billy the Kid.
