Yeah, the old gelding is a joy. The place where my daughter took lessons wanted to retire him because they needed a horse they could ride everyday, all day as a lesson horse. Old Jett couldn't do that anymore. He had been a show horse in Florida for most of his life. Lived in a 12x12 box stall. Then 3 years as a lesson horse. While he got excellent care in the lesson program, they didn't have any pasture. His turn out area was a 24x24 dirt paddock. Our place has 26 acre of grass pasture. So, when they brought him to us, he was very happy to roll in the grass! Not that it's always easy to keep the old feller goin'. He's missing some teeth, so he has a hard time chewing hay. That's why the green grass is so much better for him. Easier to chew. We supplement with Equine Senior horse feed. We wet it down, so it starts off as a pelletized feed, it turns into a mash. He can eat this even without teeth! But Jett's been great for my daughter. He has a lot of patience and experience. He gets ridden lightly on weekends, gets pleanty of sunshine, grass, exercise, and has the company of about a dozen other horses around to trade insults with! I feel good about providing him with a just reward for a lifetime of service. (I wish the NYSE would feel the same about me!) Cheers! Adairm
