Welcome to Quzqo's Photo Album! This little addition to my family occured this past May of 2004, not four days after the death of my dear old horse, Tezlu, whom I had the pleasure of knowing for 15 years. Quz was essentially a rescue from a livestock auction down by Chicago. I have no idea of his roots, his training, his original name, or anything about him. This has made out "relationship" quite interesting, trying to guess and learn just what he does know. The vet estimated his age at around 6 years old, and he's positively had some good training to the green level at least. I'm looking forward to at least another 15 years (hopefully much much longer) with him!
May 2004 - Pound Pony
When I rode him the first time, looking at the back of his head with all that mane, all I saw was the mane and two ears sticking up...that reminded me of a Llama...and what was a good Llama name? Kuzco, of course, from "The Emperor's New Groove". A little Googling revealed a pretentious spelling of the name as "Quzqo" (an ancient Mayan city)..and we stuck with that, if only to confuzzle folks!
