Darkwind Whistle-stop's Locomotion

Tonka was one of the babies out of our first home-bred litter. He was the only boy in the litter of five. Tonka had his dad "Ben's" attitude and temperament, his mom "Dance's "loving nature. He touched our hearts so deeply. Tonka made his debut in the show ring in April, 2007, receiving 1st Reserves his first 3 weekends in the ring. We lost Tonka unexpectedly in June, after just losing his mom Dance in May to cancer. The loss is devastating.
