MORRIS V. SPARROW
287 S.W.2d 583 (1956)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Sparrow (P) filed this suit for specific performance, seeking to
compel Morris (D) to deliver possession of a horse. D appealed from a decree requiring the
delivery of the horse.
FACTS: D owns a cattle ranch and P is a cowboy. P and D made an agreement that P would go
to D's ranch and, later, both would go to Canada. They changed their plans and decided that,
while D went to Canada, P would stay at the ranch and do the necessary work. P was to work
16 weeks for a money consideration of $400.00. P claims that as an additional consideration
he was to receive a brown horse called Keno, owned by D. D states that P was to get the
horse only on condition that his work at the ranch was satisfactory, and P failed to do a
good job. D did not deliver the horse. The horse was unbroken but while at the ranch P
trained the horse and, with a little additional training, he will be a first class roping
horse. The court ruled in favor of P and D appealed.
