Colorado

11-year-old bay Spanish Mustang gelding

Owned by singer/songwriter Sheryl Crow

Colorado, a Spanish Mustang, was born wild in the mountains of southern Montana. He was the son of Shaman, one of the most beautiful and hardy stallions of the Pryor Mountain herd of Spanish Mustangs. Colorado's life was not to be one of freedom like his sire or like Cloud, Wild Stallion of the Rockies. He was removed from his wild and beautiful mountain home via the BLM and was adopted at two years of age. As one of the new equine additions to a large ranch, he was put into the string of horses to be saddle broken. He was resistant to training and was finally turned out and deemed a hopeless case. He was to run feral and and fend for himself for the next 9 years. When the rancher decided to sell out, he was to be sold at auction. But, the rancher had a change of heart and gave Ginger Kathrens of the Cloud Foundation a call to see if she knew of anyone who might want this horse.

When pop star Sheryl Crow learned of Colorado's story from her friend Ginger Kathrens, she asked if she could help by adopting him and soon the little bay horse was on his way to Red Horse Ranch for Equine Agility training. Sheryl has a passionate heart for horses and, with her help, Colorado's life has gained a new and deeper meaning. Although he is still in training to become an exhibition horse, he will make his debut at Equine Affaire with Imagine A Horse.

Be sure to visit Imagine A Horse at Red Horse Ranch for more information and check back soon for pictures of Colorado!

Shy Boy

Bay mustang owned by
Monty Roberts

Born and raised in the wild, Shy Boy first met Monty Roberts in 1997. A mustang horse rounded up by the Bureau of Land Management, Shy Boy was to be the focal point of a bold experiment: could Monty, the internationally-known “man who listens to horses,” achieve Join~Up® in the wild?

Shy Boy is one of the world’s most beloved equine celebrities. He is known to millions of viewers of the BBC/PBS series and the New York Times best-selling book. His image has been emblazoned on T-shirts, and young girls squeal when they see him. He’s so popular that Breyer toys created a Shy Boy model horse for collectors! Quite an amazing life for this small (13.2 hands) horse that probably never thought he’d be anywhere but roaming the plains of Nevada, foraging for food.

Shy Boy resides at Flag Is Up Farms, greeting fans and participating in various training classes at Monty’s Equestrian Academy. He also made his debut in the Tournament of Roses parade, televised to an estimated 10 million people, in 2002 and 2003. A children’s picture book, young adult book series, and animated television show featuring Shy Boy’s adventures are all being planned. It seems he’s not yet done with being famous!

Blanco

16-year-old grey Andalusian gelding

Owned and handled by Cynthia Royal of
Safari Farm

An International equine superstar, Blanco is best known for his role as wizard Gandalf the White's legendary horse Shadowfax in the Lord of the Rings movies The Two Towers and Return of the King. In addition to these blockbuster movies, he has also appeared in the well-known Hercules television series and numerous commercials.

A luminous, silver-white Andalusian, Blanco is a liberty horse, performing such behaviors as riding bridleless or charging forward and rearing on command. Freely and without restraint of halter or bridle, he responds to the subtle cues of his owner and trainer Cynthia Royal. Born in Australia and relocated to New Zealand for production of the movies, he now proudly calls the United States home.

In addition to his already extensive entertainment career, Blanco is currently involved in a new TV show and DVD video training series in development called Horse Talk. He is also gearing up to star in IMAGINE - Discover the Fantasy - a Las Vegas theatrical show in development. In the meantime, see him in performances and clinics with Cynthia throughout North America in 2008 on the Follow Your Dreams! Tour.

Owned by
Ron & Lizzy Gebo of Black Silver Arabians

TC Bey Cedar is best known for his role as Al Hattal in the Walt Disney movie Hidalgo. He is owned by Black Silver Arabians in Burson, California.

He is not only famous on the big screen, but he has a number of show ring accolades to his credit as well. TC Bey Cedar has won Halter Champion, Western Pleasure Reserve Champion within the Arabian Horse Association, Western Pleasure Champion Open, and in 2004 he was Third Place in the Scottsdale Liberty Class.
