One of our newer horses is the star of the blog today. He is named Jay J. He came to us with the name Jack but with us already having a Jack one of our senior staffers thought of Jay J. He is an 11 year old OTTB which is an off the track Thoroughbred. So yes he did race and it's no surprise why he was in the races. His great great great great grandfather was non other then the magnificent, astounding, not to mention gorgeous, Secretariat!! Yes it is true his papers have been checked. But sadly, he did not live up to the family expectations of being the world's next super star.
He is now in retraining for being a jumper and a dressage horse. He is so talented at both. He is the most well mannered horse and oh so sweet. This week with all of the rain the paddocks are such a mud pit he was at the very back of his paddock and we stood there at the gate and he looked at us, sighed and squelched his way over to the gate. As soon as somebody walks i his stall with any piece of tack he will walk over to his tie up and just look at us like, "well I'm here are you going to tie me up?"
here's a movie of him a couple months after we brought him home.
