Caption: An additional plaque for Blackie
Additional Description: Just a bit down the trail from the marker is a plaque for Blackie that reads: "Blackie, our beloved sway-backed horse stood in this pasture for 28 of his 40 years. Children honored his preference for carrots and apples. You could not pass by without looking for Blackie, and when you found him, you invariably smiled....This sculpture in bronze (see next photo) by Albert Guibara was made possible by the children of Tiburon's first mayor, Gordon Strawbridge."
