Sigh ... looked at the webiste .. the horses are to
die for..
But, I have to agree.. those brands turn me off ...
not only the ouch factor .. but they are flat ugly .. looks like a toddler did
it with a fat crayon. I can't imagine that being acceptable in an
East Coast show ring...
I'm sorry, I just can't look out the window and
enjoy looking at that... I'm not seeing beauty but feeling instant
pity.
Wonder if they would sell me a baby before
they scar it for life? (kidding just kidding)
I hate to tell you kids, but the Rushcreek brand is not
a Cloverleaf, it's a Club.
We endurance folks were lucky to come across the
Rushcreek horses about 40 years ago when they (Ellis Ruby, Ranch Manager
then) were ditching their rejects that didn't have enough cow sense to
work on the ranch. An article in Western Horseman magazine caught
the attention of endurance pioneer Pat Fitzgerald of Reno, NV and
he drove back to Nebraska to check out these sturdy horses. He was
the first one to start riding them on endurance rides and then, as they say,
the world rushed in.
