Cleo was one of those animals you just don't pass up on. I saw her at my friend's house as we drove by and thought she looked like a really nice mule. We kept talking about her and finally I decided to at least go see her up close. OOPS! Took a short ride on her and was hooked! Even hubby wanted to go check her out. We brought her home the next day. She was purchased from a 75 yr old man that was using her as his main means of transportation. He rode her 6 miles into town and home and if he was offered a ride, he would get her to jump into the back of the pickup and ride home. She is a real sweetheart, very mellow and laid back. She follows hubby around like a puppy which is a neat thing. He really likes her as do I. She just may have found her forever home.

The first time I saw Stardust I fell in love with her. We had delivered a mini cart to her owner and she was out in the pasture. I offered to take her home then but it was "no deal". Well, the next time we went there to deliver a couple of mini jennies...she had a big buddy. I told her owner, "let's see if we can get her in the mini trailer". She surprised me and said if I had brought the big trailer I could take both of them home with me. WOW! So we talked over the next year and worked it all out. I now have the beautiful black and white mare I've always dreamed of.

Who could resist? She is a beautiful Half Arab with striking blue eyes. She has some history that needs time to heal but her previous owner has made leaps and bounds all ready. With some more time and lots of patience and understanding, Cheval will be a fantastic girl. She has some show training and does well in the arena. She is learning to like the trails too though. She doesn't care for me but followed Dave around like she belonged to him. He fell in love with her too and that pretty much clinched the deal!
