Howdy there, name's Tonto! Now, I ain't no spring chicken. Had a rough patch, let me tell ya. Kill pen, skin and bones, legs wobbly as a newborn calf from this EPM thing and that darn Lyme disease. But these folks, they didn't give up on an old coot like me! But with treatment, time and careful management, I became stronger and steadier again. These days they continue to keep an eye on my EPM and Lyme history and adjust what I do based on how I'm feeling.

​

First one at the gate every mornin'. Can't get enough of explorin'. Sometimes I even tag along after the humans 'round the ranch – wouldn't be surprised if I snuck right in the house one of these days, just to see what's cookin'! 

​

I enjoy hangin’ out with little riders the most. Got a knack for makin' folks smile, young and old. It's not too uncommon to hear kids shout "goodbye Tonto!!" out their car window as they leave. I've even had letters sent to me from my riders telling me how much fun they had! Guess that makes me a ranch favorite, wouldn't ya say? 😉
