Around the turn of the 20th century a young horse soon to be called the Rocky Mountain Horse appeared in eastern Kentucky that gave rise to a line of horses prized by North American and European owners. On the farm of Sam Tuttle in Spout Springs Kentucky there stood a stallion Old Tobe. This sure footed gentle horse carried young old and inexperienced riders over the rugged mountain trails of Natural Bridge State Park where Sam held the concession for horse-back riding.
