The Little Horse With Big Plans
The Adventures of Ragtime....
Meet the Blue Family. John, his wife, Sarah, and their
three kids, Barkley, Carter and Amy who reside at their ranch
along with their two pets, Ragtime, a miniature horse, and
Taylor, their dog.
But Ragtime is no ordinary pet! He is a special horse who
can perform lots of tricks. Live on the news, the locals watch
Ragtime do tricks much to the delight of an onlooking crowd.
In their run-down trailer, Lester and Sam see Ragtime on
television. Since Lester and Sam are down on their luck,
the idea of horse-napping Ragtime for ransom hits Lester,
and they speed over to the fairgrounds to steal their ticket
to wealth. While the family and the police hunt
for the missing pet, Ragtime leads the horse-nappers
through many antics.
Ragtime:
Weight: 175 Lbs.
Height: 29 1/2"
Eyes: Blackish Brown
Hair: Black/White Dapple Pinto with White
Mane and Tail
Ragtime, an American Miniature Horse, just happens to
be one of our readers!
And....Ragtime is quite famous in his own right.
He is now a 17 year old stallion, who is a grey and white pinto.
Years ago his owners fought their city in Thousand Oaks,
Cal. and the Homeowners Association to keep Ragtime as a pet.
The city said that he was livestock, rather than a
household pet.
The news about this case went international! He has since made
a movie and many appearances on both televison as well as
articles in newspapers and magazines. Ragtime's owner
successfully proved that miniatures are indeed equine, but differ
in many ways than their large ancestors. They won their
case in both Municipal, and Superior Courts.
Ragtime and owner enjoy lots of charity events, both
as a loving pet, and also as a celebrity.
Ragtime is a very special pet, his owner says about him,
"to know him is to love him."
