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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Scout is the son of Cochise 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."
