Kimba My Horse

In March 2008 I got a new horse, his name I Kimba. He is a brown and white pinto, he can run very fast and likes to run up and down the driveway a lot. I all ways wanted a miniature pony because they are so cute and I finally got one. On the fourth day he hurt his leg badly. When I first got him he was unhandled now he has been handled a little bit acts as if he has been handled a lot. Every night I feed him a bucket feed, put his rug on and lead him to his stable. In the morning I give him his bucket feed take his rug off and then lead him to his paddock. His rug is 2 foot 9 inches long and he is 2 foot 5 inches tall. We had to trim his feet so Daddy picket him up and put him on the ground. He has stifle lock in his back legs, which is why the other owners didn’t want him. With correct feeding and exercise we should be able to fix his stifle lock. I love him very much.
