Jack's Story
Jack is a handsome reservation mustang who came to AAE with Nash in February 2021 from a distressed sanctuary. Though he’d been at the sanctuary for half his life, as best we know, he had never been touched or haltered. He lived in a herd environment with approximately 10 other horses in few acre paddock. He was middle of the herd and relatively uncomplicated as a herdmate. We don’t much more about this guy's past.
Jack is relatively calm, easy-going guy. He’s easy to be around, but he has a firm bubble. You can approach the bubble quite easily, but you cannot break through. In a small space, Jack loses confidence and becomes quite reactive.
After Jack finished quarantine, he had minimal interaction leading into a five-day workshop with Patrick Sullivan from Modern Day Horsemanship. Though he did extremely well and was touched without too much stress, he remains unhaltered.
Jack will be available to someone with substantial mustang experience after his health care updates (e.g. hoof and dental care, vaccines, deworming, etc.) have been completed.
In general, there is a lot of activity around AAE including foot traffic in and out of paddock/pasture areas, mucking with wheelbarrows, grooming and care activities, weekly farrier visits. There are resident dogs, cats, chickens, and mini horses, as well as various wildlife including frequent turkeys and squirrels in and around paddock/pasture areas. AAE is situated on the corner of a busy road with high speed vehicles, trucks, and sirens. Tractors are used in and around pasture/paddock areas, trucks deliver feed, and a squeeze is occasionally used for unloading hay. Neighbors have weekly gardeners that utilize various power tools, and children that are active in yards adjacent to some stall/paddock areas. Horses at AAE are accustomed to a more active environment as opposed to a quiet/sterile environment.
