organic gardiner. Beck has designed special boots for Prince Hussein to protect the animal's legs. He said he first got the horse as an 11 month old colt 13 years ago. "I was breaking horses to saddle, getting $250 per horse, and the man I worked for ran out of money. When he couldn’t pay me, I told him either give me the colt or 1 was leaving. I got the colt. He came back six months later and offered me $2,500 for him but I said this horse will never see a track. And he hasn’t. He’s seen the country instead."
According to John and Yael. Prince Hussein has covered a total of 8,000 miles on travels with them across the U.S., reaching as far west as South Dakota. "He has at least 50 children in 20 states. The Amish in particular love him," Beck said. He added that he plans to take Prince Hussein up to Connecticut after the Long Walk so the horse can see kids while the Becks visit John’s mother.
The Prince looked worn out on Friday and a little ribby but his coat shone, his eyes gleamed and after his rest, the gray stallion lifted his feet a little higher.
Beck’s jaw muscles worked in anger as he relayed an incident which occured just before their rest stop. “Some man in a pick-up truck cut me off twice and yelled that I ought to feed my horse. What Prince Hussein just did might kill any other horse,” he said, stroking the Prince’s well muscled neck. Before putting the horse back into his traces, the long walker fed the 14-year-old stallion a bucket of grain, one of several he would eat through the day, according to Beck.
“My son says he’s the prince of all horses. He has more miles per hoof in the United States than any other horse in the country."
