Amos: A Horse That Can Play Basketball and Do Tricks

Amos is a 10 year old pony that lives in Boca Raton, Florida and is a part of the Palm Beach Pony Company. Amos is owned by Shelly Saidel who is responsible for teaching him all he knows. He can do puzzles, paint, play the xylophone, and play basketball. When I watched the news I could not believe this was so but when I saw the video it was impressive. This is the video from WPBF channel 25 news:


Amos volunteers with the non-profit organization, Personal Ponies of Florida, which is located in Coconut Creek. The organization works with children that have special needs by giving them a Shetland pony to take care of for free. Personal Ponies and Amos also go to hospitals, nursing homes, and veteran hospitals. They also conduct privates sessions at Sapphire Stables as well as visiting groups, such as, Gold Coast Down Syndrome Association. To donate or to read more about Personal Ponies visit their website.

He also will do birthdays or other special events. The Palm Beach Pony Company has plenty of party ideas, such as, pony rides, painting the horse, and cart rides. There are also things that adults can do with Amos during parties. Amos has his own website where you can read more about him as well as visiting and party ideas.
