Vote For Gus Our 'Full Of Beans' Foal!

Gus might be one of the youngest horses at the Vista Verde, but he’s certainly a colt with a colourful personality.  Curiouser than curiouser, he’s been getting tons of attention all summer long. Why, you wannabe ranchers can't seem to get enough of him, and he loves the limelight. In fact, when we mentioned the horse-nality contest and showed him the camera, he jumped around the pasture in excitement and then posed for our photographer like a model mount (see above)!

He's yet to hit the trail, but if you're in between rides you'll find him frolicking around in the field with his four-legged friends. Nicky, his fave cowgirl, told us that he likes a spot of horse tag, and if you mention the words run, jump or play, he'll be ready for more fun and games before you can say “yee-haah!”  Of course, when it’s time for breakfast, lunch or dinner Gus will be nuzzling up with his mama, and day dreaming about saddling up for the all day pack trip.

Will our colt canter off with the horse-nality title? Here’s a quick round up on our ‘full of beans’ foal to help you decide…

Favourite treat: Mama’s milk…ahhhhh!
