We can't Thank You enough for our great experience in purchasing a horse from you all. From the first email message to the last phone call we can't say enough about your honesty, loyalty and friendship. It all started in trying to find a horse for our 8 yr old daughter. I contacted Cindy and let her know what I was looking for and from the start she was honest and convincing that we would find something competitive. A month later we were driving to Big Spring, TX. We met up with the Lugo family, looked at our prospect and said good night. The next morning we met up early and got the total introduction to Belle. From the start everything Cindy described over the phone was exactly what we saw from Belle. Our little girl rode Belle for a couple of hours and before we knew she was making the best barrel runs we have ever seen. The smile and excitement ran thru us all! Cindy sent us home with a 4-6 week schedule for our little girl and Belle to get to know each other and she plans on meeting us at an event to make sure our cowgirl is set for success. We look forward to our little cowgirl and Belle's future together. And even better we look forward to Belle teaching our now 2 yr old daughter to also run barrels whenever she is ready. Thank You Cindy for everything you have done for our family. We look forward to years of friendship and without a doubt whenever we are ready to purchase another barrel/pole horse, Cindy will be the first person we contact. We would be glad to provide a reference to whoever has questions about our experience (contact Cindy for our info).

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!

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.

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! - Cindy
"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."

Milly
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 awesome.
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.
