Quoted by Paulette Stoudt:

Jumping has been a good fit for the 15-year-old Rio, who won  both amateur and open jumping at the 2004 All American Quarter Horse Congress. For five years before that, he won one division or the other. This year at the World Show, he also made the jump-off in amateur jumping and placed fourth.

But ask Stoudt what she likes best about him, and she won't talk about any of those show-ring successes.

"He's my soul mate," she said simply. "I just love him. "He's got such a personality. He's funny. He's very people oriented. He knows when you come; he knows when you open a carrot bag. If you were to think of what he'd be, it'd be a comedian," Stoudt said. "He just has a great disposition. You just can't get any better than Rio."
