Cuna Pictures (and some history)

I hung out with one of Cuna's former owners the other day and she gave me a whole disc of Cuna pictures, YAY!! They aren't necessarily in chronological order, but here's some shots of the younger Cuna. I think she had him from age 12-17 or thereabouts.

It's water Cuna!! ;) Mr Sensitive seems to have a special pad.
Horse show Cuna! Some things never change.

Jumping! Note his always-tidy hind end.

This jump scares me. So giant.

Showjumping Cuna!
His USEA records indicate that he usually finished in the middle of the pack at recognized events, but I like to think it's because he's such a jumping machine that no one worried to much about dressage. :p Nothing to do with conformation/interest level whatsoever.

I've also found a show photographer with some sweet pics I plan on getting eventually. You guys will have to wait for legal copies, though. It's how I roll.

No recent progress on giant red bambi baby pics, but I'm hoping to catch a break. I know Cuna was in the Fresno area before his previous owner had him, so if you know of a giant red bambi horse there in the early 2000s, let me know. :)

    1. I'm not sure. With his previous owner, he went novice. I thought she said she jumped a lot bigger things trying him out, so I don't know what the owner before her did and I haven't found a way to track it yet. Give me time!
