Welcome!

            We would like to introduce two new barn members. Our first new companion is- Art I Famous, aka Famous. Famous is an appendix AQHA(QH & TB Cross), bay, 8 yr old gelding  who will be Caroline Ong’s new partner.  Look for them in the shows later this year. At 16.2 hands, he will be kinda hard to miss!

            Our other new barn member is Mos Extordinaire, aka Oscar, who will be taking on the role of lesson and show horse for CRK students. Oscar is an AQHA bay gelding ( I sense a theme here), 15 hands, 15 years old with an impressive show record. Oscar is accompanied by his owner, Vicky, who will be partial leasing him to CRK stable. Vicky will retain ownership of Oscar and take lessons on him as she continues her equestrian journey.

Good-bye~

          It is with sadness but immense pride, that I must report that our amazing Asst. Barn Manager, Chris Torrez, (aka Cheryl’s son) has left CRK for a career in the Air Force. Chris left Yorba Linda to report to Lackland Air Force Base in Texas on August 14, 2012 where he began Air Force Basic Training.  After graduation, Chris will report to yet another base for “Tech School” where he will be trained for his future job in Administration. After completion of Tech School, Chris will have the opportunity for a home visit before he reports to his first duty station, at an Air Force Base yet to be determined. We all wish him luck on this bold new adventure. If you wish to write to Chris while he is away, ask Cheryl for the address. I’m sure he would appreciate any and all letters from home.

More Good-bye~

          As often happens, CRK students will outgrow their equine partners as they continue to improve and progress in their riding. That is yet again the case with Chewie and Caroline Ong. Chewie has moved to Great Horses of America where he will be get a new partner who can learn all the great skills Chewie has to teach.  We all wish Chewie luck in his new home!
