Blackie the Horse Who Stood Still

This book was about a real horse named Blackie.  He stood still because he wanted to capture the beauty of nature.  Blackie was so famous that a group of people made a monument in his honor.  During his life, Blackie was in the rodeo and part of the mounted patrol at Yosemite National Park.  When he retired at age 12 because he had sway-back, Blackie moved to a pasture near the bay, by the Golden Gate Bridge.  He lived to be 40 years old and that is very old for a horse.  I recommend that people read “Blackie the Horse Who Stood Still.”
