Jumping Jack

Jack is a 15.3hh May 23rd 2013 Unregistered Appendix gelding. HE EXCELS AT JUMPING. That's where he is in his happy place unfortunately I am more of a roper and that's the only reason for the sale. I inherited Jack from a family friend who passed in 2019. He's had alot of different roles since then. For starters I leased him to my jumper friend for a season where he did several shows and excelled. I then leased him for 2 summers to a back country riding adventure where green riders rode him 3 to 4 times a week at a walk through mountian terrain. He then was just my horse I rode in an arena when I was in University. Now I'm currently working at a feedlot and he has no desire to rope so I am looking for something that I prefer to ride. He's done poles, gymcannas and flags. He's been hauled to numerous events and loves going places. He eats and drinks while traveling no problem Jack can be forward in his jumps but not rude. I would like to say it's a mix of excitement and launching for the level of soaring he enjoys. He is a very kind soul who always meets you at the gate No bite bolt kick or anything rude. He doesn't paw at the trailer. He can be head shakey when excited if you don't have him collected up. Jack also loves liberty. He knows how to bow, lay down and various other maneuvers. He does have a cart which I'm open to sell with him as it is something else he enjoys. This is a horse that feels good. Jack has never stepped one lame foot in his life. He is a hair toed out in the fronts but it doesn't effect his soundness as it bilateral. He is in his prime and means all buissness. He prefers to be ridden double reined and listens very well to leg without spurs. He side passes, roll backs and knows his haunches. He can pivot on the dime and has went to a reiner trainers in the past. He does neck rein but prefers to be engaged by 2 hands Jack has done multiple clinics and has been my main horse for the past two years. He's a horse that if any of my friends come riding with me that they ride. He's had every level of rider on his back and I've never had an issue. In saying that I'm not going to do a barrel run then throw a 6yo kid on him that doesnt know how to set their feet and pull back.. He's in his prime and feels good. If it was a trail ride at a walk I would have no problems. Jack would excell with a gutsy youth rider under a riding coach. An intermediate rider that wants to level up. An old lady who needs a horse that they can kick out for the winter and hop on and go in the spring. I would not say he's for a green rider full time. He deserves to be properly ridden and pushed. This is a performance horse that will take you places. He is well brought up and is ready to be shown. Jack is currently working on a 1200 head cattle ranch and is used 2 to 4 times a week. He is physically fit and currently has shoes on. He is UTD on vaccines. His teeth were done 2 years ago. Jack is on a herbal combo and eats flax and oats daily with a joint supplement.
