Tony - RIP
Sept. 23rd, 2020
We lost our heart horse Tony in September, he and Patricia were brother and sister. He was one of the best horses I have ever owned and he loved his job and people. He was grade gelding half Gypsy Vanner and half Percheron. Tony was a big white puppy dog! He was sweet as could be unless you walk by the carriage stand with pizza. He loved pizza! He melted your heart and he was a good soul gone to soon! I am sure he earned his unicorn horn and is one of the creators favorite souls!
