That raps it up!

Okay, so that is the end of the introduction to our horses.

Right now, Jigs is at the animal hospital with his momma, Nattie. He was so big before he was born that when Nattie foaled, Jigs' legs were crooked. So, while we still have growth plates to work with we are straightening out his front legs. The back legs straightened on their own. He is a fast grower and very active. We've decided to keep him boarded at the animal hospital. He is much calmer there because he can't see too much like he can at home!!! He has other horses that he can go nose to nose with without stressing out his knees and setting back his progress.

Confined since birth this poor colt is having to learn a little patience at a very young age. Most important, his legs are straightening and that means success with regards to having a sound riding companion in the future.

We had a very proud moment when loading Jigs and Nattie in the horse trailer to take the ride to the animal hospital. Jigs, not even 2 months old, loaded into the horse trailer by the snap of my fingers and the calling of his name! Nattie loaded right BEHIND him.

We love this little guy no matter how excited and wild he gets. He's gonna become a great mature horse.
