A litle piebald horse, striped in white on the haunches and short in the neck, as quick on the ball as a kitten, Tobiano arrived at his skill on the pampas of the Argentine, working with cowherds.

S. four had failed to win, their forward would certainly have received the blame; just as certainly their victory was due to his abruptly brilliant play in the last period...
