- Name: Midnight Legend, but goes by his nickname Legend
- Date of Birth: May 1, 2001
- Sponsor: Sponsor Me!
- Owner: PALS
- Donor: Randi Jean Alter
- Legend came to PALS after retiring from his very exciting career of being a cowboy mounted shooting horse. He was also the star of a wild west show! Needless to say, Legend is probably the most “bombproof” horse at PALS. After having rifles shot off his back, nothing can make this steady gelding flinch. Legend is a Kentucky Mountain Saddle horse (a Tennessee Walking horse crossed with a Rocky Mountain Horse). Both of these breeds give Legend his extremely smooth and fluid gate. Legend LOVES people, actually so much, that he needs to be reminded that he is not a lap horse. His smaller stature and sturdy size make him a great mount riders of all ages.
