Clouds very first ride post rehab.  I couldn't have asked for a better outcome on any level.  He was
slightly nervous when we walked him to the mounting block.  You could tell he was bracing for what
had been a painful experience in his past.  But true to form, Cloud stood still, tense, never moved a
muscle and prepared to do his job.  After just a few minutes of walking, you could see his body begin
to relax into his new reality.  A pain free ride.  Thank you Edee for riding him today!

Video bottom left, first 20seconds of first ride                  Bottom right about 2 minutes into 1st ride, rope
he was tense but very very good.                                       dropped between his legs, he didn't worry.
After picking rope back up and tieing it, they continued, Cloud relaxed into his new pain free
state.  I am so happy for him.

Things always work out how they are supposed too, even if its not how I had envisioned.  Due to
financial strain I had to reduce my personal herd of horses.  Of course I have many unrideable
ones, so reducing the herd, came down to the most re homeable.  In a way, its a testament to his
recovery, that he is one of my most rideable and rehomeable horses.

Cloud has gone to live with a family up in the Ukiah area.  He has his own herd of mares and
together they share 65 acres.  He is lightly trail ridden a few times a week and he seems to be
loving his new life.  It had not been my original intention to rehome Cloud, but sometimes things
work out differently than we plan.  Below are some pics of Cloud with his new herd.
