Meet Positive Pete:

Positive Pete is not your average horse; he’s a living legend with a heart of gold, both literally and figuratively. Born in the heartland of the Southwest, Positive Pete’s lineage is a rich tapestry of famous horses known for their remarkable qualities.

Stamina of Secretariat: From a young age, Positive Pete displayed the heart and stamina of the legendary racehorse Secretariat. He never backs down from a challenge, always pushing himself to go the extra mile. Whether it’s barrel racing or lending a helping hoof to those in need, Pete’s endurance and determination shine through.

Talking Talents Like Mr. Ed: But Pete’s uniqueness doesn’t stop there. Much like the famous TV horse, Mr. Ed, Pete has an extraordinary gift—he can talk! He uses his knack for conversation to share wisdom, humor, and endless positivity with everyone he meets. His wise and witty remarks always bring a smile to the faces of those lucky enough to hear him.

Promoting the Western Lifestyle: Positive Pete is a true ambassador of the Western lifestyle, and he does so in the most positive manner. From rodeos to ranches, he travels far and wide, spreading the joy of the Southwest and fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie among all he encounters. Pete believes that kindness and laughter are universal languages, and he uses them to bridge gaps and bring people closer together. He has been known to tell a good joke or two. He lives in the Positive Posse Corral with his friends that also help him spread positive vibes to those that need it.

Fondness for War Admiral and Veterans: Pete holds a deep fondness for War Admiral, a legendary racehorse known for his courage. Perhaps it’s this admiration that instilled in Pete a special affection for veterans. You see, Pete’s ancestors proudly served in the Revolutionary War, and he carries their legacy in his heart. He always has a listening ear to those who have proudly served their country.

Overcoming Bullying with a Mark of Love: Pete’s journey hasn’t always been easy. In his younger days, he faced bullying from some less understanding equine companions because of a unique heart-shaped mark on his cheek. But rather than letting it bring him down, Pete embraced it as a symbol of love and positivity. He often shares the story of his mark, inspiring others to embrace their own quirks and differences with pride.

With his heart-shaped mark and an infectious sense of humor, Positive Pete has become a beloved figure in the Southwest and beyond. He embodies the spirit of kindness, resilience, and unwavering positivity, leaving a trail of smiles wherever he trots. His motto is simple: “Spread love, laughter, and positivity everywhere you go.”

And so, Positive Pete continues to brighten the world, one laugh and one act of kindness at a time, making the world a better place for horses and humans alike.
