Willy

Hey everyone my name is Willy. I am a registered dun, 29-inch miniature horse.  Yes, 29 inches is pretty small! Some of you probably have dogs taller than me.  I am registered with the American Miniature Horse Association under the name Square H Watch Me, but I am called Willy for short.

After many years as the go-to miniature horse at Fieldstone, having made many TV appearances as well as visits to schools and other organizations, I have earned my retirement. My best friend, Sonny, who I came to Fieldstone with in 2010, is also retiring here at the farm. You often will see us out in the nearby pasture. We are like brothers as we have been together since we were very young and we continue to share the same stall.

I was born in 1993 and have had quite a busy life. As a youngster I was shown in hand at the fair and boy, did I clean up!  It is because I am so cute. After my showing days, I visited nursing homes, participated in a few birthday parties and parades, and even spent some time in a camp program. While at camp I became injured. I was kicked in the right shoulder by a horse and it dislocated my shoulder. Luckily, I have healed fine.  You should see me race from one end of the arena to the other – you can’t even tell I was hurt.  However, from time to time after a lot of running you may see me limp a little at the trot. No worries, I get lots of love and attention here in the ground lesson program.

I stand like a statue to be groomed and fussed over.  I even get to go into the classroom at times and I am one of the stars of our Mobile Mini Program, traveling around town to schools, retirement homes and TV stations. Yes, I have been on TV. But my talent doesn’t stop there. I also have excellent ground manners, which make me very easy to lead.  I am a perfect little gentleman! I know I will see you all soon. I will be watching for you!
