Mr. Wise Guy (Wiser)
Hi, I’m Mr. Wise Guy!
A little about me:
My Registered Name is Mr Wise Guy (some people call me Wiser).
I am Loved by Kristen and Karen Cuneo.
My birthday is April 25, 1988, and I am a 21-year old Arabian gelding.
My mom’s name is Scarlet Wind and my dad’s name is Wisdom.
My favorite things to do are showing in the English and Costume divisions, playing with my best friend (Lordy) in the paddocks, getting my withers scratched, eating treats, and hanging with my girl, Kristen – She’s so beautiful and such a talented rider.
My Past Riding Experience:
I started showing as a Purebred English Junior horse and have quite a lengthy resume of blue ribbons in the English Pleasure Open, Amateur, Junior to Ride, and Walk-Trot divisions. I have roughly 12 Regional Top Five, Reserve Championships, and Championships combined. I’ve also ridden to several US, Canadian, and Youth National Championship Titles, including 5 Top Tens, 4 Reserve Championships, and 2 Championships! I still really enjoy going to shows and winning blue ribbons with my girl, Kristen and some of the newer riders. I even received a Legion of Excellence award to recognize my many achievements as show horse! Kristen rode me with my old trainer at a show to receive the award!
My Most Favorite Memory:
One of my most favorite memories is meeting Kristen when she was only 9-years old. I loved being able to take such good care of a little girl while learning how to be a successful walk-trot horse. Together, we rode to a Top Ten at 2005 Youth Nationals in the Arabian Costume Division! I taught my girl a lot, but also learned a bit. Now, Kris and I have fun riding on trails, going to local shows, and teaching others.
My Job at Wings and Hooves:
I love my new job at Wings and Hooves! I’m in charge of helping more people build confidence through riding. It’s a lot of fun to teach our riders all about horses, riding, and showing. Due to an old injury, there’s some nerve damage in my tongue, which is why it hangs out of my mouth sometimes. It doesn’t bother me. In fact, I like that I’m different because I can relate to some of my riders and show them that even with challenges, we can all be really, really, really successful at whatever we put our mind to!!
