Meet
"Cowboy"
This guy has the most unusual registered
name - "Lucky Bars Festus".
Ok, I didn't pick the name ~ but he's definitely one of the BEST horses we own!
Bred and raised in Oklahoma, Cowboy is 'cutting horse' bred (hence his name)
and he is a very good example of a great working horse.
He's a typical cowhorse - he
is sound as can be, sensible and reliable,
has a ground covering canter, and can go all day. A lively, fun horse to ride,
and best of all, he's a fantastic mount for children! Here he is with one of the
many
youngsters he has piloted around the trails of the Algonquin area - close to the
border of Algonquin Park. Cowboy has many fans, with a growing list every
year.
Cowboy is the kind of horse
that you point in a direction, and off he goes.
There are no arguments, because he really loves his job! He's the head honcho
here at the farm - always the first to eat, with no arguing from the ranks - he's the
undisputed ruler of the herd. He loves to lead - and quite often I let
him
come along to be my guide horse. This horse loves his job! This year he turns
18
- this horse only gets better with age! Whether you are a rank novice adult or a
ten year old - a fourteen year old experienced camper or a person who just loves a
great ride - Cowboy is the horse that does it all. We couldn't run our business
without him!
