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.
Trigger has been driving the streets for fourteen years. He is our most peaceful horse and is not easily spooked. He adores kids and really likes it when the dogs ride with him.
Blue just joined us this summer. He came from an Amish farm in Alabama where he ploughed fields and pulled small carriages at birthday parties. 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.
