Hi Cindy,
Just wanted to drop you an email to let you know how Rocket is doing! Jordan absolutely loves him! He's such a perfect gentleman!!! They are doing awesome together and already have competed in a playday which proved to be a huge success! The whole sale process was super smooth, and we appreciate your help! At the rate Jordan has already progressed, we will be looking for a step up horse soon! We will definitely consider you again!
Thanks again,

Happiest Horse Purchase Ever!
I would like to share my experience with the Lugo Ranch folks! I highly recommend them as fine people to do business with. The horses they train are wonderful and broke and they stand behind them. They are true Christians, and refreshingly honest! If they tell something you can count it.
I had the good fortune to meet Cindy Lugo and her wonderful family at a Marlene McCrae Barrel Clinic. I mentioned that I was looking for a sound, sane trail horse that could also do other things if I wanted to. I am 60 years old and was thrown and injured a couple of years ago and am just starting to get my confidence back. She introduced me to a big sorrel horse named that she had owned for 5 years and trained. I fell in love with him. I rode him and Cindy said that she thought he would be perfect for me. I wanted to buy him, but he was a little out of my price range at the time, and I thought he was too tall, and that since he is so well trained on barrels he would be wasted on me as I am not into that right now. He was a very special horse to Cindy, and she was looking for just the right home for him.
Cindy's business partner had just listed a ranch horse that sounded like he would be exactly what I wanted. He was also a little out of my price range, but I decided to bite the bullet and buy him anyway. Cindy went to work and made the whole transaction so easy, and got that horse to Kerrville all the way from the Oklahoma border in record time. However, when she brought him to me, we kind of looked him over and she rode him for me, and we both had a few reservations and thought the horse might have been misrepresented in some ways, but we really wanted him to be the perfect horse. After a few days I realized that this was a magnificent horse, but he wasn't going to work for me. I called Cindy and told her the situation, and she immediately said not to worry, that she would find me that perfect horse I was looking for and exchange it for this one. Cindy and I were both doing a lot praying over this.
I just knew in my heart that I could trust Cindy and I was right. The next day she called me and said that she was going to bring me the big sorrel gelding that was out of my price range and let me have him for the same price I had paid for the other horse. I felt bad about it because I know she could have gotten more for him, but she insisted that it was the right thing for her and for me and for this special horse. Cindy told me that I could have him and ride him, and then later if I still wanted a smaller horse she would trade me a horse that she is training because she would always want this gelding back. She and Josh and Anna Marie and Josiah brought him to me and picked up the other horse, and my life had became richer because I had the Lugo family, and the perfect horse. Cindy and I became such good friends during all of this that this "horse transaction" became an affair of the heart. Her beloved Elroy came to me, and I love him dearly. He is a joy and does whatever I ask him with a sweet willing nature. I don't think that Cindy will ever get him back!
I believe that Cindy will always do her utmost to find the right horse for a customer. I have never done business with anyone as honest, friendly and eager to match the right horse with the right person. Cindy says that when things are done for the right reasons, they will always come out right, and in my experience that is absolutely correct!

Hi Cindy, I just want to thank you so much for helping me find the right horse for me. After finding out that the horse i was wanting was sold, you helped me right away on finding me another one. The way you kept in touch with me and the way you helped me meant alot to me. Some people would not go that far. You made me feel like i was apart of the family. I saw that ya are very talented at what ya do and very nice and helpful. Lugo ranch is awsome.
My name is Gabriel Galvan and I'm from Sweetwater TX. I just recently purchased a filly named Milly. She is a great horse. I would recommend Cindy and the Lugo Ranch to anyone. Great family, and VERY helpful. Thanks again Cindy, y'all are awesome.
American Sky
HI again Cindy, I just wanted to thank you for helping us find our "perfect match" barrel horse. Your professionalism and attention to our needs made this an exciting and "stress-free" purchase. Katy is very excited and will begin her first lesson this week! Thank you for helping us and we look forward to doing business with you again in the near future. Sincerely, Linda
Congratulations Katy Kirk on your purchase of AMERICAN SKY - Also much thanks to Karen LaCaze for your help coordinating everything & to Sheridan Cummings - such a well trained & excellent horse - a pleasure to match him with a great family.
Jazzy
Congratulations to Julie McCollum, Gardendale, TX on your purchase of Jazzy. So glad you've found THE one you've been looking for! Much thanks to Brianna Brooks of WWW.RIDE2WINHORSES.COM
for all of your excellent help & professionalism.
Hello my name is Julie McCollum, I live in West Texas and have many horses. Recently I called Lugo Ranch about a horse they had for sale on their web page. The horse had already been sold, but Cindy told me about a mare she had just received information on. The mare had been abandoned by its owners, but had already been ridden by the people that she was taken to, upon finding her. Cindy helped me get in contact with the lady that had her and we discussed her and decided to go take a look. Once I saw her and rode her I knew she was a horse for me. I am not a excellant rider, but do enjoy riding and spoiling my horses. We have named the mare Jazzy, it just seems to fit. She is beautiful. I have to thank Cindy and Lugo Ranch for helping me add Jazzy to our extended family here in West Texas.
Vegas
Hi Cindy,
Garrett met Vegas this afternoon and he thinks Vegas is going to be a really cool horse. Vegas was so receptive to Garrett even with Garrett sitting in his wheelchair. Garrett can't wait to get to ride Vegas for the first time. Vegas stood there wanting Garrett to pet him. We think he is going to make an excellent horse for Garrett to get the much needed hippotherapy and also for Garrett to compete in Special Olympics. We will post more feedback and pictures when Garrett gets to ride Vegas.
Thank you for helping us make this happen!
Dave, Pat, & Garrett Dodson, New Mexico
Cindy,
I just wanted to say think you agin for helping me find Vegas for Garrett. I really think the 2 of them will make a great team. When Garrett got to come met Vegas at the house the other night it was great I could not have asked for a better sweeter horse he went right to Garrett and put his face down to were Garrett could reach. So thank you agin for actual lisening to what I asked for out of a horse.

Titus
"Congratulations to Amber Elkins, of Midland, Tx on her purchase of Titus - great match! Keep us updated on your progress!" -cindy
I must say that buying a horse thru Cindy was definitely a pleasure! She was very helpful and attentive when we were discussing what I was looking for in a prospective horse, and I really feel like she cared about both my satisfaction and that the horse would have a good home.
I had looked at other horses before meeting Titus, but just didn't have much confidence that the sellers were being fully honest with me regarding the horses. I have lost some of my confidence as a rider, so finding a good calm horse was very important to me.
I mentioned that I was looking for a saddle (as I had out grown mine), so Cindy brought one that she thought would be a good size for me, and it was perfect! I really appreciate that she took the time to see what else I needed and helped me get it.
Also important to me was that the sale didn't feel like it was all about the money. It was making sure Titus had a good home, and that I would be happy with him and the new saddle.
Over all, it was a great evening! I met two really nice women, and found the perfect saddle to go with the perfect horse!
I am confident that if I need another horse, I will sure call the Lugo Ranch first!
Thank you so much for everything!!

Starbucks
Hi Cindy,
I thought You might like to see a picture of Starbucks. We took the horses trail riding West of Pecos this past weekend. It's hard to believe we have had him over a year now. He is still wonderful as ever, we couldn't ask for a better horse for Kameron!

Milky & Josie
"Way to go little cowboy! I am so proud of you! Pretty awesome you've won 2 buckles on Milky in less than 6 months of having him!" -Cindy
Cindy,
I just wanted to let you know how much it meant to us that you were able to match Trevor up with not one but two great horses. We have really enjoyed Milky and Josie. When we set out to find a horse for Trevor after losing Flo Jo 3 ½ weeks after buying her, we really didn’t think we would be able to replace her, nor were we ready to go on the hunt again. We really got lucky when we found her. After several weekends and thousands of miles of looking for another horse for Trev we found ourselves trying horses that were still for sale when we were looking 4 weeks ago. When Matt told me about you, I have to admit I was a little skeptical. I guess what I couldn’t figure out was “Why is this lady trying so hard to help us find a horse”. I remember the countless phone calls and emails we received from you. When we finally made it to your area Milky was the first horse we tried and I cannot tell you how much stress and pressure was relieved when Trevor first rode him. Just to see a smile on his face again was such a blessing to us and we knew from that moment that you had set us up with a great horse that would fit our 5 year old son. I don’t think Matt and I thought we’d be buying two really good horses. When you showed us Josie, she seemed to fit all the criteria as well. She was just the right size and Trevor seemed pretty comfortable on her. After her foot checked out and we got her home we have fallen in love with her even more. She has such a sweet spirit about her but is all business in the arena. I wish we would have saved ourselves thousands of miles of driving and come straight to you. You really showed us some nice horses and more importantly we got to see a lot of horses in one weekend that fit our specific requirements. We will definitely recommend you to our friends who are interested in horses in our area. You have been a true blessing in our life and we are so great full for all your effort in finding these horses for us. It is very evident that you love your job and that you are very straight forward about what you think will work or not work for a particular child. Thanks again for everything.
Matt, Jassy, Trevor, and Avery Crainer
Cindy,
Thank you so much for helping us sell Milky. You made it very simple and Milky looks like he went to a great home. I would definently recommend you to other people. Thanks again!!

Zip
Cindy,
Thank you so much for taking the time to find the right home for Zip. He was a great horse for our family and needed another family who would give him lots of love, attention and many hours of enjoyment. Thank you for sending the picture the little girl drew of Zip, that helped my boys see that he was already special to someone else! You really go out of your way to make the arrangements convenient for everyone involved. Thanks for all of your help!
I also want to thank you for helping us sell Josie. You were very quick to get the word out to potential buyers and fit the horse to the rider. You do an awesome job with horses and riders!
Nikki Handley
Cindy, I just wanted to thank you for helping make Makinlee the happiest little girl ever! We have searched hi and low for a horse to fit her and had just about given up! You were so sweet to help us on a Sunday! We were just on our way home from a rodeo and had no idea we could find the right horse along the way! She is super excited, not scared at all which is HUGE for her. He is every thing you said he was and then some. But mostly thank you for helping her confidence. She has a new outlook on horses and we are very excited to watch her progress! We will definetly be back for her next horse, I feel better knowing I've found someone I can TRUST with my childs safety! Thanks a million I think you made the perfect match!

Mr Wilson
Hey Cindy,
Thank you so much for helping us sell Mr. Wilson. You took the time to place him with the perfect family. It was nice to not worry about anything other than meeting the Emmons' at the right time and place. It's nice that you know your customers so well, and that you take the time to find the right horse for each one. Mr. Wilson was a part of our family, but he will have a wonderful, happy home with Karson. We will definitely be back when we buy my daughter another barrel horse. Thanks so much for all your hard work, even with a brand new baby at home.
Thanks again,
The Deerman Family
I really enjoyed helping the Deermans with placing Mr Wilson with the right family. Look how precious these photos are! Please keep me updated - Carson, I've heard you already make a smokin' run on Mr Wilson! Yay! Good job! -Cindy
Cindy,
It is difficult to find the right horse for a 6 year old rider. You made this much easier than I ever expected. It was nice to deal with someone that actually understood what we were looking for.
Carson and Mr. Wilson will do great things together.
Thanks for everything!
Sincerely,
Cliff Emmons
Howie and Susie Q
I would like to share what a great experience our family had when we sold Howie and Susie Q through the Lugo Ranch! Cindy was professional and made the entire process very simple. I would highly recommend Lugo Ranch to help you sell or purchase your next horse! Thank you so much for all your help!

Mater
Cindy,
Thank you so much for your help with finding a beginner horse for our 3 children. We had been looking seriously for over a year and even bought and resold a horse that wasn't right for the kids. Looking for a horse can be extremely trying! When we contacted you in early July, you promptly responded with several options. We are extremely cautious when buying anything. You made sure to send as many pictures and videos that we needed to help make our decision. You also helped coordinate the vet check and showing us the horse when we were ready to purchase. Two weeks after our 1st email to you, the kids have their new horse, Mater. Mater is a big sweetheart! You really put safety first when matching us up with a beginner horse. We think Mater will definitely teach our kids many things, but most importantly to love horses. We will keep you posted on their progress with Mater. Thanks again for everything.

Several years ago I placed an ad to sell a kid horse, within 3 hours of placing that ad Cindy was picking up my horse because she had home for her to go to. About 2 weeks ago I had mentioned that I may be interested in selling my daughters roping horse. Within a day or so Cindy was calling me and asking me information about the horse and asking for videos and Pictures. She was On top of the situation. Cindy has been a great pleasure to work with and is worth every penny of the commission she earns. Anytime that I need to sell a horse she will be the absolute 1st person that I will call. Thank you Cindy for taking so much time to make sure that you found the perfect home for our “Mater” to go to. He was a good ole boy for my daughter and she loved him very very much, and you made her feel comfortable with this very hard decision. Thank you so much!

Pistol Pete
Congratulations Estevan! So proud of you & I know you'll do great with him! Keep me posted on how you do in your AJRA rodeos!
"Dear Cindy, I wanted to say how much I appreciate you helping us sell our awesome horse Pete. We had outgrown him and he needed to teach another child how to win. You had two people interested in less than 12 hours and sold him the next day after I contacted you. It was a quick easy transition which made letting him go easier. We will miss our great Pete, but feel he is in great hands .I want to wish Estevan good luck with Pete and may he teach him everything he taught our daughter. Thanks for all your hard work."

Susie & Kelsey
When I called Cindy I had been looking for my daughter, Kelsie, a step-up horse for almost 8-9 months. I was about to give up, I seen a horse she had for sale on BHW and went to her website I was amazed at all the success stories! And 99% of them were kids which made me feel like maybe I had come across someone that would be able to find what I needed..... I did not expect to get a lifelong friend but from the very first phone call I knew I had one. She understood where I was coming from when I was telling her why I was looking for a particular kind of horse. Kelsie is small for her age so it has made my horse looking difficult, Cindy had no worries she was very confident that she could find one. I had a list of requirements that I needed from this horse, I had what size I wanted, what speed, you name it I had a requirement for it (and some were unreasonable). Cindy didn't make me think I was crazy or that it was impossible. She treated this as if she was finding a horse for her own daughter, and she did have her daughter ride Susie before we ever set a time or place to try her. She put her through every test to be 100% sure Susie would be perfect! And she was..... Kelsie is 7 years old and shy but she loves Ms. Cindy. Kelsie tried Susie exhibitioned her 3 times and put her up then a couple hours later pulled her out and ran in the jackpot, she ran a 18.7 the very first time. They are perfect for each other. Cindy is AMAZING!!!!! I have already made plans to go to Texas for Kelsies next horse!!!!! We will be calling Ms. Cindy once again, if anyone is looking for a horse I highly recommend they call Cindy. She goes above and beyond to make sure the rider fits the horse and the horse fits the rider.
We love you Ms. Cindy!!!!! We can't wait to come back to Texas!
Kelsie, Susie, Eric, Lesa, and Korie Lynn Williams

Congratulations to Emily & Christa Schoener, Victoria, TX
I have been lucky to work with Cindy and Anne Marie on both ends...buying and selling a horse....Cindy was great to me and Chopo(the horse)...I stated what i expected and we talked and discussed and talked some more, and not more than a few days later he was sold...I have had the opportunity to spend some time with Cindy and her family and have to honestly say, i have enjoyed every minute of it...Thank you Cindy and Anne Marie, for finding Chopo a wonderful home and giving him the opportunity that he deserved!!! i am very greatful for yall!!! I would definately recommend Cindy and Anne Marie to either end, the buying or the selling a horse...i feel that they are honest, and if you are honest about what you have or what you are looking for it seems to get done pretty darn quick! Thank you again girls!

Bonnie- Congratulations to the Hendricks family, NM - We hope you get to enjoy Bonnie for a long time! Really impressed with your children & family. Good kids & good riders!!
~Cindy
Cindy was referred to me by a friend when we decided to find a new home for one of our beloved four legged family members. After the first time talking to Cindy it was apparent she had "Horse sense". We discussed Bonnie,our palomino mare and her disciplines entirely including health history. With in hours she called me back to arranged a time to show Bonnie to a family out of New Mexico, the following morning.
Bonnie and the Hendricks family were like a puzzle piece, a perfect match. They were just what I prayed for the night before, a sweet, sincere, young family with four children that wanted to Playday/Rodeo.
Bonnie had given my family and especially my daughter three extraordinary years. After Four Belt buckles, a saddle, and a bucket load of confidence. She about to do it all again, possible many times over.
Their daughter Hanna had mentioned to me That she had never won a belt buckle before, I assured her there was one in her near future with Bonnie.
Bonnie found her perfect home with in 24 hrs, I can not thank Cindy Lugo enough, your the best Cindy!!!!
Christina Dorsett
We would like to thank you so much for taking the time to tell us about bonnie she is the perfect horse for us Everything that was told to us was all true, their is not very many people out there that will tell you everything about the horse we hope when its time for our next horse you will be there to help us once agian. We tell everyone about you I hope you dont mind us giving your number out. Once again thank you so much
The Hendrix Family
Cheyenne - Sold! Again!
It's not often that I get to sell a horse 3 or 4 times to different families, but that's what has happened with Cheyenne. This little mare is so special & it has been wonderful to be able to place her with each special family. Good Luck Gooby! I hope you find that Cheyenne will be your best friend!
~Cindy
Cheyenne came to us at perfect timing...Right before the start up of the other half of the rodeo season we found out Estevans barrel horse had a bone spur...We went ahead and got her injected not able to do the surgery because of the recovery rate...i started looking for something else, because this mare has been super good to our boy, so why didnt she deserve the best....Cindy and i talked about Cheyenne, and i felt like she was up front and honest about everything i asked, and everything i didnt...We met Cindy and Anne Marie in Andrews and tried the mare, and she was everything we were looking for. Estevans mare is huge, so he hasnt really been able to push her, and Cheyenne is the perfect in between to help him learn how to stay with the horse, without the horse being too overbearing...lol...We will have our first rodeo on Cheyenne the first weekend of April and will update on how they do!!! Thank you Cindy and Anne Marie for everything!!!-

Jasper's Success Story
Still Creek Ranch Gang
When you have a horse as special as Jasper, you really want to make sure he goes to a special home. As with our most precious horses, I always pray about whomever ends up buying him- that he would be exactly what they were looking for & that he would be treated well & that they would appreciate him & love him like our family has. I can't tell you how relieved I was to have met the Riccitelli's of Still Creek Ranch. I was also blessed to learn about the Ranch & about how they are involved with such a wonderful program! To learn more about how you can be involved or to DONATE to the ranch please visit their site & learn more!
Hi Cindy,
Just wanted to touch bases with you and to ASSURE you that we LOVE!!! Jasper. What an awesome guy! Just perfect for our needs. And yes, Annalise and him are going to be a great team. They love each other and are doing really great. All the kids have had to ride him of course, they always have to try out the new horse, and he has been great with everyone. I haven't forgotten about a picture for you and will get that taken ASAP. Thank you again for providing us an angel dressed in horseflesh.
I purchased "Lady" from Cindy in the Spring of 2009. Upon talking to Cindy for several hours on the phone, I knew Cindy's family was as special as the horse she was considering selling me. My best friend Shanna and I grew up hauling together since we were children and have been best friend for over three decades. We knew immediately Lady was a once-in-a-lifetime horse. (This says a lot since I once owned an AQHA World Champion Pole Bending Horse and Shanna went was a NHSRA Champion in barrels and poles) This fantastic mare was exactly what Cindy described to me to be. She is solid, sound, sweet, gentle, level-headed and conscientious of her rider and their abilities at ALL times! There were NO SURPISES! The only thing I was shocked about was this horse EXCEEDED our expectations!!! Lady stands out because she is so GORGEOUS, a real looker. Usually in situations like these you have to 'give up something to get something' -- not the case with Lady. She is quiet all the time, never "heady", Lady has a superior handle, in fact Lady handles better than my Jaguar sedan - smoother too!!! Lady loves to trail ride with Zoey, easy load in the trailer, has legendary patience, loves to be petted, and soaks in all the TLC she can get! Did I mention she is such a stunning mare she could probably be shown in a halter class! Outstanding confirmation!
We had an unique special situation. My Goddaughter, Zoey was 7 when I purchased Lady. Zoey had lost her horse the season before after being on quite a winning streak. Zoey was extremely particular when trying out new rides....we went through almost a dozen "try outs" and had essentially given up that the ideal horse was out there for us. Low and behold, I refused to give up and I am convinced God led me to the path of Cindy and Anne-Marie Lugo. Cindy is nothing short of an AMAZING woman with a heart bigger than Texas and her movie star gorgeous angel, Anne-Marie, has the most beautiful manners of any child I have ever seen. I knew immediately after watching Cindy as a devoted Mother that her horsemanship skills were not far behind. Her confidence and patience put her in a category that raises the bar for the rest of us as parents and riders.
Initially, just after 10 minutes of talking to Cindy on the phone, I knew even if this was not the horse for us - we would all remain great friends. Cindy KNOWS HER BUSINESS!!! The great thing about Cindy is she is NOT about the "hard sell" -- she is about nurturing relationships and making you feel comfortable. I felt like I could be openly honest with her at all times - it was refreshing dealing with someone who was so heartfelt and yet was full of insight.
I immediately tried to purchase this mare sight unseen over the phone. Cindy would not hear of it and delivered her to my ranch (12 hours away) with a BIG BOW and personal demonstrations from Anne-Marie! Its official the Lugo's and the Schiller's have adopted one another!
What excited us most about Lady's potential is the fact that when Zoey outgrows her in a few years that my daughter Sinclair (almost 3) is waiting in the wings for Lady. Just ONE MORE little rider in a string that Lady will show the ropes to. We have an affectionate name for Lady at the Schiller Ranch - we call her the "Nanny" because her disposition never changes, she is very aware of what level gets on her almost from the time their foot hits the stirrup.
We will be purchasing our next horse from Cindy and I can not recommend her enough when finding just the right horse for someone that is serious about finding your ideal mount. I explicably trust my new friend Cindy and will gladly go to whatever path she guides us. We cannot be happier!!! Gov. Rick Perry stopped by our ranch and even commented what a beautiful mare we acquired - I assured him he had NO IDEA how very special she truly was! Keep a lookout for Super Z to be cleaning the clock on the barrels/poles this fall. The only thing that excites me more is looking forward to Sinclair taking over the reins after Zoey moves up. "The Nanny" has lots of "gun in her run" left. Lady's Omega is now firmly planted in Aggieland at the Schiller Ranch, where she is the official mascot! We would not trade this mare for all the money in the world!
Cindy, I cannot tell you what a pleasure you are and a welcome new friend. I look forward to inheriting many more from you in the future!
God Bless
Kristi Schiller
Cindy is awesome to work with! She recommended "Mouse" as the perfect horse for our family.
She was so right! He is a dream come true. A total gift from God! He is a picture perfect bomb-proof kid horse!
I can't express enough how much of a blessing Cindy and "Mouse" have already been to our family!
Cindy has such great integrity and goes out of her way to be helpful!
She made our experience of buying our children their first horse a beautiful happy memory!
Thank you Cindy!
We are so thankful to the Lord that he brought you, your girls, and "Mouse" into our lives.
God bless,
Lee, Wendy, Korina, Megan, Travis, Jason, and Josh Christian.

Cindy sold us a great little pony, Princess Rosebud.
We are shaping her up for Santa. My boys have already fallen in love with her.
I hope they won't give the surprise away before Christmas Day.
Thank You Cindy, more pictures to come.
Jodi, Chase, Chance, Shelbie, and for sure Shyan
WOW!!! My name is Brandi and I have a fifteen year old that is struggling with life.
After calling Cindy Lugo, as my sister-in-law had instructed numerous times,
I could hardly believe that God was listening in so many ways.
Not only did we make new friends in Cindy and her family, but we bought Bootstrap.
Bootstrap has changed our lives and we have new goals in life,
we love him dearly, he is so very spoiled, and such an awesome horse.
I don't believe there is anyone else out there like Cindy, not only a horse but a new sister in Christ,
that I dearly love myself.
Thanks Cindy, Anne Marie, and family
for being there for us and helping us to change our lives for the better.
God Bless,
Brandi, Chris, Hayli, Rayni, and Levi
P.S. Bootstrap says "Thanks also for finding him such a loving family."
I sure do appreciate Cindys go get em attitude!
No problem is too big or too small, Cindy helps in all aspects of the purchase.
I would recommend family, friends or anyone looking for a good barrel horse to go and see Cindy.
It was great to meet the entire Lugo family and I look forward to seeing them at future barrel races.
Starbucks is the right horse for us and we are excited about what he has to offer Kameron on her journey!
Life is too short to not have a horse!

Congratulations!
Jon of Big Spring, TX
Glad we were able to assist with getting your first horse.
You're doing great with her!
When Cindy first brought Jasmine to Big Spring Texas
she said that she immediately knew that this horse would be good for me and she was so right!
Jazzy is the sweetest horse I've ever met and we get along great.
And when we decided to buy her she immediately found a great home for Starbucks.
The deal was handled smoothly and quickly with great results.
I now have been blessed with a great mare that I hope to have for a long time.
I would recommend Cindy to anybdy looking to buy or sell a horse.

Lindsey & "Tex" aka Alf from Bend, OR
Spurs Alpha Omega
My experience when working with the Lugo family is one I will never forget.
I live in Oregon and Cindy and her family live all the way out in Texas.
After talking for many hours on the phone, I finally flew down to their home
to check 'Spurs Alpha Omega' (aka Tex) out. Cindy was 100% honest about Tex & his abilities,
my abilities as a rider, and her thoughts on us working as a team. I never felt any pressure
and I learned a LOT! I was even able to enter him in a rodeo to see how we did. I felt confident
that he and I would do well together and she agreed wholeheartedly - she wanted what was best for the horse. Almost a year later, Cindy and I have kept in touch and update each other on our winnings.
Everyone says it takes a year to get with a horse...
.well I'm proud to say that just a few weeks ago we hit that mark and are really starting to WIN!
I wouldn't hesitate to go back and do this process again and I would be lucky to own another one of their horses.
Kendra & Impress Me Charlize a.k.a. "Reba" from Bosque Farms, NM
As much as I have enjoyed doing business with Cindy and Josh Lugo, knowing them on a personal level has been even more rewarding. They have always been very honest and professional. Their integrity and knowledge has made it very easy to do business with them.
Impress Me Charlize, AKA...' Reba ' is a 5yr old mare I got from Cindy and Josh, she has been a blessing from the beginning. When I started working with Reba I was Impressed with the solid foundation work Cindy had put on this mare. Because of the great start Reba had, it made my job as a trainer easier. She has come along way quickly and willingly. Reba is a very talented horse, so keep your eye out for her in the future!

Congratulations! to Rafael Espinoza & sons of Midland, TX on the purchase of Streakin Charley P! This young colt will be a WINNER! He is by STREAKIN OLENE & out of IMPRESS ME CHARLIZE! We are all looking forward to seeing him run on the track!
Barbara Hall & Koko Big Spring, TX
My experience of purchasing KOKO from the Lugo Ranch was awesome. As a novice horsewoman KOKO is perfect for me. She is quiet, gentle and allows for my inexperiece. If you are looking for a new friend it is very important to be honest about your needs and level of riding ability. That will allow Cindy to find you the perfect match to a wonderful relationship and new best friend.
David & Heather Wilhelm, Red Rock, TX & the girls
Congratulations to David & Heather Wilhelm, Red Rock, TX & the girls on their purchase of Streakolicious (AQHA reg. pending) a.k.a. "Cricket". In these photos she is only 14 months old & just the love of their lives. I've heard she gives "good sugar" too! Heather says, "We have a pasture full and she is by far our favorite. Such a smart girl. (I don't think she knows that she is a horse). We absolutely love her and can't wait to get another of Streakin Olene's babies."

Rebel & Terena Rustman, Big Spring, TX
I appreciate everything that you are doing to help us get the horse all set up and ready to go. Now that we have gone through buying a horse for the first time, I could not imagine if we would not have found out about you and Rebel, what I would of had to go through to get the horse here, but then also figuring everything else out that is familiar to me but unique and personal things about rebel. I really appreciate doing business with you, and look forward to business with you in the future...I will DEFINITELY tell anyone and everyone I know how great doing business with you is! Thank You SOOOOO much..........

Kaley & Easy's Tramp "Catori" Big Spring, TX
Well first of all I want to thank my G.G and Cindy. G.G for letting me carry on with riding horses and supporting me, and for Cindy for training me and now for helping me train my horse (and also for supporting me). Cindy has also helped me get through the toughest times when I could've given up. My new horse is a 3 year old paint mare named Catori meaning Spirit. My G.G got her for me on June 6th of 2007. When she first arrived at the stable, I didnt even know she was mine. And one day Cindy called and said to go to the stable and get the Paint mare ready. Later, they were filming me and my
G.G said that I was holding my new horse. Now I've had her for about 3 months now and she is doing great. I'm training her to do barrels, poles and hopefully goat-tying. I honestly think that next June we will be doing rodeo. Catori and I are going to be the kind of pair that won't be able to separate. I found out that if I walk off, she will follow me. Not all horses
do that. This is probably going to be the best horse that I've EVER had, and ever WILL have.
Nancy Johnson of Bedford, Virginia & Perfect N Royal
