Horse Sponsorship

Rudy

Rudy was the name given to this 7-year-old BLM mustang from the Tilly Creek HMA (Herd Management Area) in Utah. He was named by one of our ranch friends who won the naming raffle at one of our fundraising BBQs. She named him Rudy, short for Rudolph, because Rudolph was the reindeer that dealt with being bullied by the other reindeer, but ended up leading Santa’s sleigh on Christmas Eve. The lady who got the chance to name him also runs a non-profit called Peer Kindness that helps kids who are dealing with being bullied in school.

Rudy arrived at the ranch from Arizona, along with Calista, for some additional training. We all fell in love with his small stature and huge heart, so he is here to stay! This guy has a kind soul and a sweet and quiet disposition. He’s curious and a great thinker; he just wants to please. He absolutely adores kids, so we have high hopes for him once he is trained.

Poco

Poco is a 24-year-old black and white Paint. This boy is our herd leader and is not afraid of anything, yet he is also one of our most sensitive horses on the ranch! Poco came to RSR as a birthday present for Laura almost a year after the Pfeiffer’s moved to Colorado. The last couple of years he joined the RSR herd as one of the horses used in our intermediate camps. He used to be a part of 4H and loved to jump fences, however, these days he prefers the slower pace and truly loves being pampered.

Cruiser

Cruiser is the taller of the 2 Miniature Horses at the ranch. He’s 24 years old and was Laura’s very first mini. At the time, she didn’t own a truck and/or horse trailer, so he was trainied to ride in the backseat of her Oldsmobile Royale 88 car! Laura would take him in stores, parks, and everywhere else she could think of. Clearly, he was destined to be used to bring joy to others from the start! Cruiser pulls a cart and gives pony rides to younger/smaller kids that come to the ranch. He is practically like a dog and was (and still is) the perfect companion.
