Jag

Jag is a 4 year old red dun AQHA gelding whom my husband had his eye on all summer the year he was born. Jag had a real rough start. He had severely contracted tendons at birth, which went untreated, and failed to correct on their own. I believe he was a couple months old when a friend of mine took him in, he was taken away from mom and put on milk replacer, and splinted and given lots of TLC, supplements and vet care, and thanks to her care, he is the way he is today. I ended up sneaking around behind my husband's back and bringing this guy home in December, 2004. We didn't know if he'd ever be sound for riding, but we figured we had the space for "just a pet" if that's what it came down to...we already had some of those around here! "Just a pets" are pretty damn important too, I'd say! He's had some groundwork and been saddled, but there has been no rush with him, both for physical and mental reasons....but this year just may be the year! He's the nosey type, he's always into everything, always investigating what you're doing, and always trying to "help." He's quite a character!
