Say hello to Gentleman Jack - He is a Varnish Roan Blanket Back Appy with a Dominant (G) gene. - (This gene makes the body Grey as the horse ages so some differences may occur but you get the jist of it.)

He is also ShortGos father and The horse that sugar bred to when I was younger and had no clue what the heck i was even doing with my life. Lol

I think that God was working through alot of good people to get him back to his girls & my lord was the pay off worth it.

- Sugar LOST it when she realized it was him after sniffing him, She started bucking and slid into the herd of horses beside her. - The curiosity must be something to them to come across a horse that smells so familiar..

I wonder if the other horses know or sense genetic relationships the same way foals and parents do.

Hes just as goofy as hes always been with his giant eyes and forgetfulness of how to maneuver his body in a graceful way.

Im exhausted - Im thrilled - Ive cried alot of very happy tears today - and Im just thankful! - BEYOND Thankful. Mentally shocked and even more shocked that we were able to get him so fast... lol

ITS BEEN 14 YEARS - BUT WELCOME HOME JACKY!

Update: Vet Says hooves are overgrown but fine and he may have a knee injury or arthritis but thats HIGHLY manageable. - He is now UTD on all hos Vaccines and His Coggins!

HE REMEMBERS HIS NAME!!

Well, its 100% him.

Everyone say hello to Gentleman Jack, This is my horse Short-Gos father. - I am SO SO proud to say that the extreme measures of help offered by the Thomas Foundation 2nd Chance Horse Rescue owned by my dear friend Kim Thomas (with aid from her amazing Hand Manuel) in Pilot Point TX is the reason he was so quickly reunited into our familiar home.

I owned Jacky as young Stud 14 years ago, I wish I could say I sent him off with the right start but I was a kid, plain and simple - I just didn't know what I was doing, though I thought I did. - He was gelded shortly after he left me and settled out in Troy/Temple TX areas. - I know an old gentleman had him for quite some time but im sure that man has either passed on or couldn't care for him any longer. - After that Ive been made aware of atleast 1 or 2 prior owners since then and although the Love was heavy for him, the hoof maintenance has not been. - Crazy to think 14 years back - I paid $850 for this horse from a random man on Craigslist...14 years later here he is before my eyes..

Hes coming home for good to live out his days with his girls. - Sugar and ShortGo are going to go bananas.

I hope you stick around to watch me do it right this time. - Welcome home, My Love.

Well, I'm about to be re-acquainted with a true friend of mine.

- A horse in my life that sent shivers through my spine during his first rides.

- A horse i poured my soul into as a young trainer.

- A horse i learned alot of lessons from both good and bad.

Ive had the privilege to find Shortys dad for sale so my amazing friends at 2nd Chance Horse Rescue - The Thomas 501c3 Horse Foundation rode into the rescue to help initiate this Equine Rehabilitation and help me set him out to pasture with his one and only daughter (ShortGo) and my mare (Sugar) that he bred to in his younger years joining alongside the rest of the herd!

This will be a reunion that I cant wait to share with you all and a Rehabilitation that I will be MOST proud of.

Stay tuned. Its about to get emotional.

(He was 2 yrs old in these pictures - Hes 16 yes old now so stay tuned for that varnish roan beauty! )
