Jett
Jett is a 26 year old Quarter Horse gelding. In 2012 he was rescued from a bad situation in Florida by Tamara Hinson Robinson, who later turned to Pegasus to help this horse. Pegasus accepted Jett into our program in July 2013. We spent about 6 weeks getting Jett to proper weight, and then Pegasus trainer, Don Knapp, started working to build muscle tone through ground work. Once Jett was physically healthy, Don began working with him under saddle. Unfortunately, Jett proved to be very troubled when saddled, leading to extreme bucking. Our vet determined that Jett's spinal confirmation led to pain with a saddle and the weight of a rider. Poor Jett had been subjected to years of pain under prior owners and trainers. We put an end to that. Jett has spent the past twelve years under our loving care. Each year he has become more and more loving and gentle, and he is 100% pasture sound.
We offer this lovely fellow for adoption as a companion horse only. If you are looking for a beautiful horse to love or to serve as a solid companion for another horse, Jett is your answer. He's sweet, engaging, and he loves attention. He has excellent ground manners. Jett can be a bit reactive, and so his adopter will need to have good horse-handling skills. He stands well for the farrier and he does nicely with vetting, but sudden movements can startle him. He is adverse to getting dewormed, but a skilled handler can do it. He's an excellent baby-raiser and can be trusted in the pasture with any gelding. He unfortunately cannot live with a mare because he displays stud-like behavior. This wonderful guy deserves to live out his life in peace, surrounded by a loving family. Jett would love to be adopted along with his BFF, Blazer!
