My Horse, Tonka

Rescued in January... He is 5 years old (Bday April 24), 17H tall, gelding and registered Thoroughbred.

VERY green.

I got him with so many issues.. poor guy... bad feet, ear mites/fungus, teeth problems, etc.

Right now we are working on mainly behavioral and trust. Although I have ridden him a couple times and he is GREAT!!!

We just got a fungus issue taken care of, so now I should be able to bridle him without the HUGE fight he was giving me.

Here's some pics. He is still gaining weight so ignore the ribbyness :)

Tonka is REALLY handsome horse! I love his face:D I bet he will turn out to be a very lovable guy. I am so glad that you have been able to provide with him the care and love that he needs!

Ooo... I'll come over and help out with him whenever you want! :D

Much as I adore reptiles, my main favorite animal will always be horses.

Glad to hear that he is in good hands now. He looks great, btw! :gj:

Thanks!!
I will have to post some more recent pictures of him since he is almost all the way shed out, his coloring is soo cool now :)

Thanks for all the compliments. He is a huge lover. And although he has a TON of fear issues to overcome, we will get there in time.

Beautiful horse.

Thanks!

What a beautiful boy! He's so handsome. I love that first picture too! lol Guess he thinks the grass is greener on the other side of the fence too!
