[Keri Rocha]

Show Name: An Irish Cruise
Barn Name: Cruise
Age: 8 Years
Gender: Gelding
Color: Liver Chestnut
Breed: Irish Sport Horse
Height: 17.2 hh
Personality: Cruise is a bit frisky at times, and can be slow to form a bind. However, once a bond has grown between horse and human, he would never hurt them. He sometimes seems to have two personalities; the firsky, sometimes too-strong bully, and the sweet 'I would crawl in your lap if I could' beauty. He loves cookies, although he only eats from the hands of people he knows.
History: Curise was born in an intense show barn. Soon, he was the pride of the place, jumping and placing nicely. Then, one day he spooked at a jump and his rider flew off his back and over the jump. The barn didn't want him anymore, as he was instantly labeled as a dirty stopper, so they took him to an auction. He then went through a number of homes, but no one had the time or inclination to form a bond with this horse. After his fifth or sixth home, he was sent to Blue Ridge Auction where he was purchased by Keri with the help of her uncle. She hopes to train him in Dressage and Cross Country to complete the training for an eventing horse, seeing as he already had the build for a jumper and in his background information he was said to be a natural jumper. The two will learn to trust and live together.
Discipline: Hunter/Jumper, Jumper.
Rider/Owner: Keri Rocha
