Guapo, a majestic Friesian and former Houston Police Department patrol horse, came to Dry Creek Barn with an impressive background. Standing tall and powerful, his size and striking appearance made him a standout at the barn. However, his large frame proved a bit too much for the lesson program, even though his gentle and calm demeanor won over everyone who met him. Despite his inability to join the lesson lineup, Guapo quickly became a barn favorite.

Recognizing that Guapo needed a more suitable role, Dry Creek Barn decided to find him a forever home where he could truly thrive. It didn’t take long for the perfect match to come along—when his future owner first met Guapo, it was love at first sight. His new family was captivated by his beauty and gentle nature, and they knew he would be the perfect companion. Guapo was soon adopted, marking another success for Dry Creek Barn’s rescue and rehoming program.

Now, Guapo enjoys his retirement in the pastures of Dry Creek Stables, under the loving care of his new family. He spends his days grazing peacefully, basking in the attention of those who love him. His story is a shining example of how rescue and rehoming can transform a horse’s life, and he continues to be a cherished part of the Dry Creek Barn family.
