Todd is the gentleman of the yard. A calm sweetnatured boy, with a very clever brain. He knows he is every bit the superstar and loves nothing more than an audience to show his moves off to. A very gentle horse to be around he loves to steal hats in the winter time and play with the bobbles on top. Loves his scratches but not as much as he adores his rider!
