In June 1999, I bought Jim\u2019s Last Request (JR) when he was 3 days old. I saw him fox trot at that young age.\u00a0 JR and I are meant to be a pair…our hair matches. \u00a0 JR is a strawberry roan sabino.\u00a0\u00a0 He has a red dorsal stripe, four white legs, a huge blaze, flaxen mane and tail.\u00a0\u00a0 His tail has a red strip down the center.\u00a0\u00a0 Flashy and chrome are words invented for this colt.<\/p>\n
JR’s sire is Jack’s Sensation, owned by a legendary horseman who is now deceased, Jim Hufft<\/p>\n
NOTE:<\/strong> \u00a0 In June 1998 at the 3yr old futurity the IFHBTA (Trainer’s Assn.) presented Jim with a plaque and a trophy honoring his lifetime achievement in the Fox Trotter breed.\u00a0 Jim died a few weeks later on 6\/30\/98. Jim was transported to center ring in a horse drawn buggy supplied by Herman Hightower.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Almost six years ago, as a beginning adult rider, I purchased Velvet and Sage because they were fox trotters and because they were beautiful. I’ve learned a lot in those four years and have some idea of what I want out of a horse.<\/p>\n I want a horse that can do it all: run, jump, spin, and slide. I want a barrel and a pole bending horse. I want a horse that will fox trot around the circle at Ava and look good. I want a horse that will take me down the trails in safety. I want it all. Sage and Velvet are in training to do all the above. JR is the next generation: a horse that was born with the athleticism necessary for a true versatile horse.<\/p>\n JR’s dam, granddam, and grandsire can do flying lead changes. His dam has successfully competed with quarter horses at barrel racing. JR’s mother, granddam, grandsire and grandsire’s dam are all owned by Bob & Charlotte Blackwell. All have a natural fox trot and calm, tractable dispositions. JR’s sire has produced many many colts. All colts are natural fox trotters and have a nice calm disposition.<\/p>\n This journal is going to be my record of JR’s progress from weanling to saddle horse extraordinary. It will have a lot of training notes and fun stories.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In June 1999, I bought Jim\u2019s Last Request (JR) when he was 3 days old.
