Boo has lived at TLEC since 2007 and is a registered paint. He is a caring, young, and unique personality that you’ll see in the show ring, working in therapy sessions, and helping the newbies adjust to life on the farm. We sat down with Boo for a few minutes and found out a little more about this special guy.

Q: How did you come to live at TLEC? A: When I first came to TLEC I was far from the beautiful paint horse you see today. Unfortunately, I had not been properly cared for and when TLEC got me I was skinny, with a large cut across my chest. I wasn’t really in the mood to talk to humans. But TLEC took me in, gave me great food, put medicine on my cut (more like a large gash), and loved on me daily

Q: I hear there’s an interesting story behind your name?

A:  When I first came to TLEC I was pretty shy, so I would hang out in the bushes so people couldn’t see me.  It was a brilliant plan since I could  peek my head out to watch the different activities without being seen.  Shortly after that, they started calling me Boo.

Q: What’s are some of your favorite activities?

A: I love eating...it’s definitely one of my favorite things to do. But, when I’m not eating I enjoy giving lessons to kids and learning new things.  On Monday mornings I get to hang out with the Womens’ Class and hear all of the latest news. I’m not sure if we’re supposed to be learning something during that time, but they sure do have a lot of fun!
