Twister

 

Gender: Gelding

Breed: American Quarter Horse

Approximate Date of Birth: May 14, 1994

Sponsor: The McGinnis Family

Arrival Date:  June 2018

 

Img 8815 EditTwisters Gold Strike, U.S. Border Patrol, retired, arrived at the ranch in June of 2018. This gorgeous fellow was born in Dubois, Wyoming on May 14, 1994. On June 7, 2000 “Twister” joined the U.S. Border Patrol where he had an incredible career. During the first six years of his retirement, he has been fortunate to have been cared for by the McGinnis Family. You can tell by looking at this gorgeous fellow that he has been loved and cared for. We are grateful to the McGinnis Family for entrusting this very special horse to our care.

Twister is very much in charge of our “Geldings Corral.” Given the mischief the boys can get into, we are grateful to have Twister in charge of the group.

The four other retired U.S. Border Patrol horses in our care are truly his legacy
