UPDATE: It appears that Cracky has been kidnapped by someone, and hopefully, it is a prank by some friendly kidnappers that plan to give him back soon. However, the Dreamfield crew’s patience is wanning, and at this point, it is not funny, and they would like their mascot back. There is a new Facebook page saying: Cracky Has Cracked and shows a picture of him on top of a yellow semi. Please end the prank–and give him back to his rightful owners!!

The Beloved barn mascot for DreamField farms and Lainie’s DeBoer’s World Champion riders was stolen out of his bag in the tack room at the Congress. It is believed that the person who stole him knew exactly what they were doing.
Kirsten Farris who is a monthly contributor for GoHorseShow.com recently wrote an article about Cracky, titled, “Why Cracky is More Than Just A Mascot.” Farris writes, “Before they show, they spend time reciting a poem and rubbing Cracky for good luck. Having pre-competition rituals (things you do before you do things) is a common practice for most athletes, and having a ritual that is light, playful and fun is a great strategy for preparing to compete.”
The whole DreamField crew is sad that Cracky has been taken and would LOVE to get him back. If you have taken Cracky or if anyone finds him at the Congress, can you please deliver him to Sweet Shop in front of Celeste. No questions will be asked.
