Jax's Pedigree

I purchased Jax when she was a tiny 4 months old.  Actually, she wasn't tiny at all.  She was broader and taller than the other weanlings her age.  I was drawn to Jax sight unseen because she has all the greatest names in Quarter Horses listed in her breeding:  Smart Chic Olena, Mr San Peppy, The Ole Man, Colonel Freckles, Leo, and Poco.  The breeder I got her from said, "If she wont work a cow, I don't know what will!"  He then asked me what my plans were for her and I told him reining.  Mind you, I wasn't reining Chance at the time, the word reining just fell from my lips like fate had put them there.

Just like that, Jax came home with me and it has been a love affair since.  She is absolutely the bossiest, pushiest, smartest baby I have ever met.  She has fire in her belly and a mind that was made up before she was born and I LOVE that about her.  I have just started her green breaking and she has been a super nice ride so far, despite inconsistencies in her work schedule.
