Era: Third Doctor
Frontier Justice
Huddled behind the saloon, the Doctor and Jo listened to the rowdy singing within: a serenade punctuated by raucous comments on the two hoss thieves who was gonna git thur necks stritched come mornin’. This time, though, Jo’s UNIT escape lessons did the trick. The horse whickered softly as they freed themselves, and they walked it deep into the desert before riding pell-mell for the TARDIS.
Finally dismounting, Jo paused at the TARDIS door, watching as the Doctor marked a large X on an innocuous boulder.
“What’s that for?” she asked.
He winked and slapped the horse’s flank.
“Rent.”
