"Magnum", is an
American Quarter horse (AQHA).
His registered name is "Uptown Saturday Nite".
He's all black (no markings at all) and was born January 17, 1987.
(How old does
that make him today?)
We got him in June of 1992.
(How old was he when we
brought him home?)
He likes kids alot! He likes to be brushed and petted.
Kids
from 5 to 15 years old ride him bareback
with just a leather rein
around his neck.
He doesn't need a bit and bridle.
He's 15 hands tall
(which means 4 inches
per 'hand' measured to his withers).
How many inches tall does that make him?
(Hint: 15 times 4 equals____.)
He
probably
weighs around 1200 pounds.
In the winter, his body hair gets thick and
long to
protect him from the cold.
He looks and feels like a black velvet teddy bear!
In
the
summer his hair is shorter
and he looks shiny and sleek!
