Black Jack

There's a new guy at the barn!!! His name is Black Jack (the kids just call him Jack). He is a 14 y.o. Quarter horse, who has had a bad accident and now has a bone chip in his left knee. Resa and I went to Oklahoma to pick him up one Sunday. (Boy that was a long day) Anyway, my farrier's wife told me about Jack and what he used to do (movie stunt horse) and how well he was trained and that his owners were looking for a good place for him to go, since he could not be in the movies any longer. Jack has been with me about 2 months now and he is a fantastic horse. This last Saturday he had his first therapeutic riding lesson and he did wonderfully. Not only is he a good therapy horse, he has added another dimension to my riding lessons! I just realized that I don't have a good current picture of him, but I'll add one tomorrow. OH, and he is madly in love with Pumpkin! They are quite a pair, when they are separated, both of them squeal and nicker! Having horses and having them with me has made such a difference in my life, I just can't describe it, but I'm sure some of you understand what I mean.
