Legs; a.k.a. Max




Legs, a.k.a. Max was rescued by PER in June 2007 out of Santa Rosa County, along with 12 other horses. For years, he was tethered on a rope 24/7 without shelter or the ability to exercise or just be a horse. He was a stallion when he was rescued, so what little bit of "free time" he had, it was spent breeding the mares in the herd. Included in the rescue, were four of his babies, one was still not born nor did we even realize that the mare was pregnant until we got a surprise one morning! That colt was named "Wonder's Never Cease" and has grown to be as beautiful as his sire!

Max was adopted by Karen Tucci in November 2008 and received two years getting plenty of TLC. Karen did some ground work with him, but recently became very interested in Parelli Natural Horsemanship and made the decision to send Legs to Mirka Pitts, who specializes in this training.

Today, Michelle Phillips and I assisted Karen by moving Max to Mirka's. We are all very confident that Mirka will do an excellant job with him and bring out his full potential. Karen also plans on taking lessons from Mirka,so she can continue to use natural horsemanship on Max for his lifetime. This will be a whole new chapter for both Karen and Max and I'm sure it will be a good one. Good luck to you, Karen. I know this will be an adventure to remember.
