    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 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!

    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.
