about

Paul Winter: "On our treks up to North Crestone Lake, I had the privilege of riding perhaps the most remarkable horse I’ve ever known. His name is Cloud and he is of a kind referred to in Colorado as a “mountain pony”. I loved his gentle energy, and marveled at his extraordinary agility on these steep and rocky mountain trails. We had an unforgettable adventure together, coming down the mountain in the dark on our first trip to the Lake in 2005.

Our small group had stayed at the lake too long that afternoon to be able to make the five-hour return journey before nightfall. Soon after we all started down, I dismounted to adjust some gear, and Cloud and I got separated from the others, finding ourselves alone in the gathering dusk. I wasn’t too concerned, as someone had given me a headlamp, and I figured Cloud would know the way home. When it became too dark to see, I tried the headlamp but couldn’t get it to work, so I thought it would be safer to get off and walk with him. I held the bridle tightly, keeping his nose against my shoulder so I could walk just far enough in front of him that he wouldn’t accidentally step on my heel. For three hours, we walked in the pitch-dark, cheek-to-cheek, feeling our way on the path with each step, finally arriving at the trailhead where the others were waiting. Cloud was completely calm during the whole adventure. I have never felt such a bond with an animal as I did, and still do, with this four-legged brother.

This wandering improv is my homage to Cloud.”
