<strong>From June or July -98, which would be 7 years ago, and I was 15 at that time.

His full name was Mr. Valentino, but among friends he was simply known as "Tino". This was shot around the last week he was alive. Though 20 years of age doesn't necessarily mean the very end of a horse's life, his back and legs were starting to give up, so his owners decided to put him to sleep.

A knabstruper (Danish breed) is usually white and full of black or browns spots. Tino had only one clearly visible one up on his right shoulder, and a few smaller ones showing up from time to time.
For more info about the breed, the knabstruper entry at equiworld.net might be a place to start.</strong>
