Hi guys,

Thanks for everyone's help in finding us a new horse (especially Kerrie). One of my 4-H friends races thoroughbreds and recently retired one because he wasn't competitive enough. After a vet check yesterday, it was decided he would be our new horse!!! He is a 16.3hh, 5 year-old, dark bay. Cruz has a wonderful personality and I believe is the perfect match for me!! He will be coming home Monday!

Here he is!

I looked up 'wind broke" and it sounds like she wouldn't be too comfortable with hard work. (Kind of like asthma). I would hate to put her in a situation where she would have trouble breathing.

Agilitygal, we may talk to Dean again - right now we are in the middle of horse pre-fair, so we don't have a lot of time to look .

Leo responded:
Really?? My vet seemed to think that we could even run barrels on her is we wanted to.. she runs & plays in our pasture & never seems out of breathe..just sounds raspy..could you send me the information about that? I would really like to rehome Insperation..she is beautiful & such a sweet horse, she really needs someone to call her own..with the horses that I have here, she gets time from me...but she is not my center of attention if that makes sense.

Ok, here's a thread for the ever so spectacular Cruz! What a cutie pie....

We can't wait to hear all about him. We all live for these stories, especially those of us who are limited by time, space or money...I feel like I have a cyber-herd, and these horses become really important to me, almost as important as my Gang of Three minis....

[lilypondfarm]

Cruz is doing great!! I just wanted to show you some pictures from when he came home. ;D

[Tate]

I love his face...

[crum]

I was going to say how distinguished looking he was but it is hard to say that after seeing the next picture of him with a ball on a rope in his mouth;)

[lilypondfarm]

I wanted to share this video of Cruz and I playing hide 'n' seek today. He loves to play!! ;D ;D

[foxie]

Haha! Loved the video!

He looks like a keeper.

[paintedlady]

How fun !! He does have quite the personality. I think he is beautiful and you look very happy. Best wishes and lots of fun times ahead for you two ;D ;D

[Tate]

Very Cute, he seems very happy with you.

[wendyp]

Alyssa, are you keeping him?

WendyP/Bend, OR

[lilypondfarm]

OK... long story short, I am keeping him to find him a home. If he goes back to his previous owner, she will put him back on the track, which isn't where he wants to or should be..

[paintedlady]

Did I miss something You two look so good together. Is she taking him back ?

[lilypondfarm]

Dean (PEC) now has Cruz at her facility. He will be her dressage horse... hopefully! ;D

Alyssa

PS She PROMISED me updates!! <hint, hint>

[lilypondfarm]

YOOO-HOOO!! Dean?!?! I need an update on Cruzie!! How is he doing? ;D

[Admin]

He is doing great. He is a spoiled rotten little brat who can REALLY buck. He has dumped two of us so far ;D He thinks it's funny. Takes off snorting and then will run back to make sure your ok!
He is a serious love bug, and is getting round:)
He needs a lot of work of course. When he trots he has not idea where his butt is. hehe

[lilypondfarm]

Hey Dean!

How is Cruz doing? Do you happen to have any pictures?
