Jack is an amazing all-around horse that has a lot of things going for him! Jack is a trick horse and proud to show off his tricks! He will lay down from the ground or mounted! Jack can sit like a dog and follow you with the command of "come". Jack makes mounting easy with a click of a finger! He side passes up to the mounting block, gate, log, truck, or whatever you choose to mount from! Jack's been trained in natural horsemanship and liberty training work.

Jack has extensive trail riding experience. He has many miles of trail riding by our entire family! He will go up and down steep hills with ease, through mud, ditches, and deep water. He will cross over logs and through brush without an issue. Jack is surefooted on rough rocky terrain and has been ridden in all of it! Riding out alone or with a group, in the front or the back, Jack doesn't care.
Jack is also an expert in the cattle world! He has experience roping and tying down cattle, loading cattle in semis, and has been used some at the stockyards. We use Jack on our farm daily to check fences, and cattle, or catch cattle. We have ridden him at a cattle round-up to catch, sort, and work a few hundred head of cattle over a couple of days on 1000+ acres. Jack is very quick on his feet to catch a cow. He is very athletic and agile, but at the same time, he is always cool, calm, and level-headed. Jack's laid-back nature would rather be walking and taking it easy, but always willing and ready to go do what you ask...
