Magic touched Bob's heart in the most magical way ever. All Bob's horses teach him something, but Magic taught him more than most - Magic taught him that anything is possible if you believe you can do it. Magic has no eyes - his eyes were surgically removed to a terrible infection. Yet - this horse is not only rideable; he has been shown - and won - in first level dressage. Magic has moved on to touch the hearts of new admirers and fans in Florida. But he will live in Bob's heart forever. |

Fred is one of those horses who gets into your heart and never leaves. Fred's back was severely injured by a poorly-fitting saddle many years ago, yet he continues to be a trooper. He enjoys short trail rides with his owner, and all the attention she can lavish on him. Bob and Fred hit it off from the start, and have been best buds ever since. Well into his twenties now, Fred enjoys long sunny days in the pasture, lots of love and treats from his doting owner, and the occasional deep-tissue massage from his personal therapist, Bob. Fred thinks he has a pretty good life. |

Bo the Mini is probably one of Bob's favorites. Shown here in December of 2005, Bo was a little handful! "Not quite three feet of horse; more than 300 feet of attitude" is how Bob thinks of Bo when he remembers the little horse. Bo is no longer living on this planet. However, although his life as a living, breathing horse ended, his ability to teach has not. He and Bob still share a partnership, and while Bob was able to make Bo feel good in this life; Bo is able to teach Bob in his new one. |

What? What do you mean "this is not a horse!!" Isn't it? You got us... this is Baxter, a camel. In Bob's line of work, all knids of unexpected opportunities come along and Bob is grateful to be able to take advantage of them. Bob loves Baxter because he says "it's weird to be massaging an animal who can turn completely round and look you in the eye while you are rubbing his back." Bob and Baxter can't spend too much time together... they would definitely be in trouble more than out of it. Look at those faces... could you trust those two as far as you could throw them? |
