Born in 1884, Linus was a descendant of the long-haired breed of Oregon wild horses who roamed freely in the mountains of Oregon. A characteristic feature of this species was a unique brown color and an incredibly long manes and tails. Once domesticated, these horses still live next to people. Meanwhile, the length of the mane and tail increased with each generation. And the record, according to the length of mane, belongs to Linus. Owned by brothers, Marion Rutherford, Linus horse was a symbol of Oregon Beauty. Rutherford Brothers have sold the stallion to the circus on wheels, where he became the main “chip” of any program.
