BlueJack is a 2005 gelding out of Blue Canal Fisher and Dry Fork Fritzi. He is actually a full brother to my gelding The Red Baron. I had BlueJack in the fall to start under saddle and establish some good ground work. While with me he learned to stand tied on the the highline, haul daily and be bathed in addition to riding. He was a great student and I was happy to have him back this spring. While riding him I have been working on directing his feet in counter bends, leg yields and haunches in. It is fun to ride him because he has a naturally round back with full engagement. All the work I put into him is only enhanced by his natural balance. I look forward to his progress.

March 2, 2010: Today I rode BilueJack in the big pen while a semi load of straw was being delievered and unloaded for the stalls. It was good for him to concentrate while there was lots going on around him. He did really great and was happy to continue with his exercise in spite of the distractions. Dale video taped some stuff today and I’ll get in posted soon. I felt that the ride had went well. My favorite part is that BlueJack is so free flowing and loose through his body. It makes the ride feel flawless. Each day is getting better but today was exceptional, highlighted only by the beautiful sunshine we had.
