Little Guy Funquest aka “Kiaik”
One of Bluebird Farm & Horse Ranch’s favorite riding horses is American Morgan Horse Association gelding "Little Guy Funquest" affectionately known as ‘Kiaik’ – which means Dream in the Shasta Indian language. Kiaik was born in 1985 and has been part of the family since he was two years old. Though Bluebird Farm & Horse Ranch is a horse breeding farm, geldings are kept for kiddy rides and trail rides when the mares are in the middle of foaling season.
Aside from being an excellent riding horse, Kiaik is also a great babysitter, as can be seen in the photo above. Kiaik stands 15.3 hands high and weighs approximately 1,100 pounds. He also helps out during the weaning process, by keeping the young horses company, and he is a steady horse to use for ponying and breaking young riding horses. Kiaik loves to go camping and elk hunting and will cross anything you put in his path: water, foot bridges, goat trails, and he will even swim the river!
The cherished picture of Kiaik and a pasture mate (above) was featured in the Horse Illustrated Magazine July 2004 issue; and on the Morgan Horse Association’s web page. The pictures on this webpage were taken when Kiaik was 18 years old or older.
