Let me tell you about....

Hello Everyone!

I thought i would do a blog each day (ok so maybe once a week at least!) on the horses that i do have right now. Mine and the rescue horses. Well i count the rescue horses as mine until i find them the perfect home.

First and foremost!
Papa Jack! (aka Mr. Jackson Weaver)

Jack is a 15 year old Appendix/QH gelding. Big boy at 16 hh and probably weighs about 1250 pounds. He is the king of the herd. He is the one everyone of the horses love to eat with. He is a good boss to all of the horses. He loves the babies (Prize is his favorite), loves to play with Duke and Baby Breeze, loves the girls, loves all horses. He only enforces his king status at meal time. He is black in color. He is my first horse. I got him from a lady who was boarding at my friend Jodi's place. She just got him from an auction a few months before i bought him. She already had a smaller Arab gelding named Haji(?) and wanted a horse for her husband. Well she and her husband broke up and then she wanted to sell Jack. She told me that he was at this auction, was an Amish horse and knew how to drive and ride. Some people like the half drafts for driving. he has the height of a TB and the stockiness of a QH. She said that kids were all over him and he was such a good boy. He IS a good boy. But I got him at 9 years old. Now that i have been in the rescue business for awhile, i should have known there was something up with Jack. You dont get rid of a good driver/rider at 9 years old. Jack has some arthritis. He has his good days and his bad days. Some days he shuffles, some days he runs his butt off and bucks and has some fun. I just watch him to see if he is having a good day or bad day. I havent ridden him much in the last few years at all. But he loves me and his herd and takes very good care of them. He is my first horse and i will always cherish him! I hope he is with me for a very long time. I remember when he and Missy were the only ones I had. Missy was pregnant with Prize. I separated them when Missy was closer to her due date. She had Prize and there is Jack, just waiting patiently (ok so not so patiently!) to get at the baby! He adores the babies. Well, good thing that i did separate them, because Missy charged the fence where he was standing for a week solid! And he let her do that. He knew not to mess with her and her new baby! Well 2 weeks later, i let them both be together and he took care of Prize like she was his! For the longest time, Prize is the only one he would let even eat by him! He spoiled her so! She could get away with alot with him. Anyhow, Jack is my dear, dear boy and he is a beautiful boy that will be with me for the rest of our lives. Enjoy!
Next blog will be about Duke. My chaos boy, Duke! I will put them in order of hiarchy.
