The real Blackie stood in a private pasture in
Tiburon, California, for 28 years, spending most of his time
standing absolutely still. Several generations of local children
would visit Blackie’s pasture to bring him apples, carrots
and sugar cubes, but mostly they came to watch a horse that barely
moved a muscle. Blackie was so loved that today a statue of the
famous sway-backed horse stands in the exact same place where
he stood motionless for all those years.
