Lot 3 - 'Keats'
Smooth Jack is just the right age, and has just the right disposition to be a child’s horse, school horse for a trainer, or family pleasure horse. He has been ridden and shown locally in Hunter classes but because he has developed some stiffness in his gaits we feel he should be retired from jumping. We have been riding him over obstacles, and out on the trail. Buy this one if you are looking for well trained, kind, calm and gentle.

The information above was written 60 days ago. He's definitely not stiff anymore! We put Keats on MSM and Glucosamine supplements, trained him to stretch, applied some "Equine Touch" therapy, and started riding him regularly. You won't believe how attractive and nice this big gelding is. Smooth Jack is being re-started over some low jumps without any problems at all. I now feel confident that he will be able to go back to the show ring. We have both a beginner (in the arena with a coach) and an advanced rider (on the trails and doing advanced maneuvers) working him. The "ET" therapy has been discontinued because he is doing so well now. Check his notebook at the sale for more updates.
