Gusto's Barn Buddies
(and friends)

Please be patient as Gusto's friends' pictures load!!


*soon to come- more buddies and pictures of all Gusto's friends and neighbors*

Manny

Manny and Gus posing for a picture Their story...
Gusto and Manny are good friends. This is probably because Gusto is dominant and poor Manny is quite passive, so Gus can do whatever he wants and Manny is just like "okay". When they get together they love to play.
Once when Gusto and Manny were in the indoor arena together, Gusto found a bucket. He picked it up and started swinging it around, by the handle. Well Manny came over to see what he was doing and Gus turned and smacked him in the head with the bucket. It was a sight to see! Manny was dumbfounded and Gusto dropped the bucket. Oops! Manny has moved, but Gusto will always remember him...

Sheba

Their story...
Sheba's owner decided to sell her (yes I know it was awful) and so Gusto will never know if they were desdended to be together. Yet another forgotten romance...

Cocoa

Their story...
Gusto and Cocoa get along well. They first got to know each other when they were waiting in line to see the doctor for their annual spring 'physical'. They started talking and became friends. Cocoa even started to lick Gus, and amazingly Gus didn't mind. It is quite a sight seeing them together because Cocoa is just a little thing and Gus is 15.3!

Cissy

Their story...
Gusto and Cissy don't live in the same apartment complex anymore, but they visit each other once in awhile when Jenny and Heidi (their owners) decide to go to the same show. Cissy and Gusto have a long history together, they have known each other for 5 years! They even were travel buddies when they went to shows with the same trainer a couple years ago. Both Gusto and Cissy love to jump. Ever since they met Gusto has had a crush on Cissy, but well...Cissy isn't too fond of really anyone esp. Gus. She is growing weaker as the years go by and I think someday she will give in. Hopefully for Gusto's sake!

Chase

Their story...
Chase moved to North Carolina with her owner, (is this becoming a trend that all of Gusto's women leave him?) Gusto and Chase never went outside together, but they always met at the fenceline to talk. Gusto was very protective of Chase, he didn't want her to get hurt! Chase loved Gusto back (a first for poor ol' Gus) and even followed him up the fenceline when I went to get him from pasture. Gus loved to spend time near the fence talking to Chase and had almost missed being first at the gate for dinner because of it!

Walter

Their story...
Gusto and Walter were neighbors during the winter of 1998 at D-S Overholt Arena. There both of them often rode together and played together when the weather got bad and they couldn't go outside. Walter and Gusto went on trail rides together and Walter would always be so excited and Gus would try and keep up (Walter has a fast walk!). Once Gus got really pissed when Walter decided he wanted to run home and Gus wasn't allowed. Well Walter now has a new owner, his trainer! He is going great with him, they went to a big barrel show and he would have gotten 3rd out of 600 if he would not have knocked over a barrel...Jamie misses him, this means Gus and him probably won't ever see each other again, the story of a horse's life, I guess.


Next page, yes Gusto has more buddies!
