King is from out west somewhere, I need to look up his brand, would love to find out what all he does know to do. He is the best horse, like your toby! but this evening I went to feed and he comes limping into the barn like he broke all 4 legs! okay not that bad cause he was walking! I cant tell if its a stone in his hoof, he wouldnt let us pick them which is a tall tale sign somethings wrong, he is never out of step with anything we ask of him, but he threw a fit for the first time ever about it...hoping that whatever it is...its not serious. He was running this morning, so maybe its just a sprang...praying for the best and preparing for the worse..vet visit tomorrow! My daughter is in 4-H and she is learning drill team this year! I'm excited to see her! She is a natural "horse whisperer!"Welcome To Wilmoth Farmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324148511238133892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-53844121144722986912009-03-03T17:25:00.000-08:002009-03-03T17:25:00.000-08:00What a great post about a great horse!What a great post about a great horse!froglanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686654151450524098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-49798254630540182432009-03-03T16:16:00.000-08:002009-03-03T16:16:00.000-08:00Love the tribute to Toby.

Meghan is riding our old mare again for equestrian team and she is 24, her b-day is this month. They are doing drill too, Meghan worries about her and so do I, but she (Easy) loves every minute of it! My oldsters are not babysitters though, Easy will take advantage of newbies and trot off and scare them, and Mickey who is 20 now, she still wants to buck once and awhile, LOL last time I put a newbie on Emma, the youngster at 9, she laid down to role with her on her back, little brat LOL but she will be better when she is older.<BR/><BR/> Great story about Toby, he sounds like a wonderful animal.Reddunappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02789213785183576404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-35956893207757763972009-03-03T14:09:00.000-08:002009-03-03T14:09:00.000-08:00He's gorgeous, and what a pedigree he has.
