This is Inspector Cluso, an 18 year old gelding by Invester Cluso. Inspector currently holds 5.0 Performance points in Novice Amateur Western Pleasure. Inspector is currently owned and shown by the Gill family of Richlands, North Carolina. His rider is the 10 year old daughter of Tina Gills. She has her eyes set on the Hunter/Jumper ring. She is currently showing Inspector at the state level of the 4H program. According to Tina, "his willing attitude and safe/sound disposition is allowing it to happen...they have been working together for almost 3 yrs now and have become quite the team."

Good Luck to the Gill Family and Inspector Cluso in the 2009 Show Season!
