In November 2006 I googled the internet for a blue roan and came across a rescue in my state that had a BLM Mustang blue roan filly. Long story short my mom and I ran down to this rescue just to "look" at this filly, and we fell in love with Shoshoni and Tabasco! We filled out the paper work and I ended up as the proud adopter/parent of these two remarkable mustangs.

What can I say about Tabasco? He is one of the most charismatic horses I have met. He is not bashful and is quite inquisitive. He is always up to some sort of shananagain and usually makes you laugh about something. He will come over to see what you are doing and wants to be the center of attention. Heaven forbid you are loving on someone else as it should be him! He comes by his name rightly and it suits him to a "T" : ) because of his coloring and his (sometimes) ornery/hot personality. He is not a mean horse but can be a bit pushy and sometimes does not have a concept of "personal space". He can be know as "the intimidater" to some lol. If he ever gets in a mood like that usually pushing him away a few times gets his attention and he will behave a little bit better.

He picks up on things pretty easily and most times is a confident horse. He is always watchful of Sundance and Sundance is always teaching him bad habits (like splashing in the water trough).

He loves to play and get rowdy. He knows how to push Shoni's buttons and get her to go along with him. He is fun to watch but hard to take pictures of unless he is distracted by something. In just about every picture that I have of him (since February 2006) he is walking towards the camera. Then if you literally run to the other side of the pen, stop, turn around and point the camera, he is too close because he was either chasing you or walking really fast! : ) Even flapping my arms trying to get him to stay back (in poses with Shoni) he just gets this look on his face and points an ear to the side like "Your kidding me right?"

Walking towards me with the ball in his mouth

He loves to roll and he loves to get scratches. His favorite spot? His neck and his BUTT! lol

He is a very nosey horse and is always doing something to get some sort of attention. Like sticking his head through the panels or sticking his nose between the wall and tarp into the hay barn and cheesin at us. Lol He is such a lovable little guy and he never ceases to amaze me or make me laugh.
