HORSE TAILS



Handsome Bob

Handsome Bob got his name because of his stylish rock-star looks. He came to us after years of pulling logging wagons for the Amish. It took a while to train him because when we put our foot on the brakes he just pulled harder like he did while logging. He taught us to use the reins instead and now he's a great team member.

 

 

 

Tonto

Tonto joined the crew just in the knick of time. He was about to be sold for dog food. He was abandoned and bored. Now, he’s the life of the party.  When Jake first met him, there was an instant friendship. Jake recognized Tonto’s Spirit and knew that he needed to join the crew. He got his name because the Lone Ranger’s friend, Tonto, rode a Paint Horse.

 

Frenchy

Frenchy was once a logging horse in Missouri. Back then his name was Frank but we’ve found him to be so affectionate that we changed his name to Frenchy. He entertains us by turning the water on when he’s thirsty and opening the gate to adjoining stalls when he wants to visit.

 

 

 

Cochise

Cochise came to us from Coldwater, MS, where he was a pet and spoiled rotten. That's probably how he became so head strong. He has a mind of his own but melts like butter when his favorite driver, Lissie, takes the reins. His name was Chief when we got him but Lissie soon change it to Cochise, a Native American chief who lead the Apache.

 

Scout

Scout (left) is the son of Cochise (right) and it shows in his head strong ways. At first he didn't like to leave his dad's side and would always try to follow him. We helped Scout become more confident and now when he sees his dad on the streets he always gives him a whinny as if to say, "Look at me Dad, I'm a Big Boy now."

 

 

 

Barney

Barney first learned to pull a carriage on the outskirts of Coldwater, Mississippi. He loves to dance and prance and has his own style of steppin’ out. He’s so eager to get attention that he’s been really fun to train downtown. He looks at all the buildings like he’s a country boy in the city. Shakes his head and goes on.

 

Blue

Blue just joined us in the summer of 2007. He came from an Amish farm in Alabama where he ploughed fields and pulled small carriages at birthday parties. He is happiest when he is around children or dogs. He got his name because of his nearly blue color.
