Meet Tattoo The Appaloosa, A Horse With Leopard Spots As Cool As Him

What’s something special you’d like people to know about Tattoo?
Hmm… he is obsessed with miniature horses and donkeys! Many horses are terrified, but not Tattoo. At shows, his eyes go wide, his nose flares and he almost drags me to the mini so he can try to become friends. He is oddly obsessed! His neighbor at home is a mini donkey we call “Peter”.

He also has had a girlfriend horse! Usually, at shows, he is calm and curious, not really interested in other horses unless they get too close, but at a particular show, a roan quarter horse mare caught his attention. She was only 4, still learning about being under saddle and her first show, but he was completely infatuated with her. I am not sure if it was her age, or what, but he wanted to stand by her, touch her with his nose and follow her. It was so strange, but the owner was very amused and let them stand together when we were waiting for classes. He calmed her down, and he didn’t pay attention to any other horse but her. He was very much in love with her!
