About three years now? I bought him off a man in Missouri for a steal. Sadly I don't think the man knew horses and given that I didn't know either...we both got more then we bargained for.

[He pats the horse on the flank. For in reality he knows exactly how to handle horses-and he really did steal this one]

I've given him a name too. Isn't that awful? He's Blanco. How original.
