Armando is Walkin N Circles Ranch’s permanent ambassador and is not available for adoption.
In 2021, we received an emergency call to help rescue two young colts found near us. One colt could no longer stand on his own, and we feared he wouldn’t live through the night despite all our attempts to help him. His devoted buddy kept vigil over him, giving us hope for a good outcome. We named the sick colt’s friend Armando which means a strong protector or soldier.
Both horses are now healthy and thriving. While Armando’s friend, named Brave, has since been adopted, we selected Armando to serve as our permanent ranch ambassador not only due to his intelligence and willingness to learn but also because of his intense devotion to a friend in need. Now fully trained under saddle, Armando helps other horses in training with his calmness and steadfastness when paired with other nervous horses during training sessions. We believe Armando emulates the qualities of our organization through his tenacity, devotion and bravery.
