Would You Like To Fly Across Colorado? Vote For Puzzle, The Steed With A Spring In Her Step!

Now, I’m bettin’ that there are a tenderfoots out there who like nothing better than a whole days eventing and jumping.  If that’s your fave horsey activity then head for Lost Valley, as this homestead features a magic mount that can fly across creeks!  Well, Puzzle doesn’t really have wings, but she loves to leap across anything and everything in the blink of an eye! 

In fact, this very same mare gave cowboy Jason (pictured, with Puzzle herself) a real fright. Having a very smooth gait and being an exceedingly good listener, it seems that Puzzle caught him rather by surprise.

Out on a cattle drive the riders came across a small stream, and before Jason could even mutter the word “Oooo-aaaah,” our sprightly steed decided to jump over the water and kick as high as she could.  After which, the Lost Valley cowboy flew over the saddle horn and was left hanging from Puzzle’s neck! 

Of course, now Jason and Puzzle are the very best of friends and they love to lope down into the Chili Bowl and up the hill.  In fact, if our skipping steed wins the horse-nality contest she’ll take Jason off on a midnight ride and chomp on chocolate covered apples under the stars!
