Meet Jacy the Mustang

9/9/2015

One of my goals as far as horses go has been to work with a mustang. I never really thought I would get that chance...it just never seemed feasible.
Well, I have a mustang!

Isn't she beautiful!? She is about 11 years old and has been off the range for 9-10 years. She has been with the same family for most of those years and gave them a mustang foal.

She is white, with a grayish mane and tail and some sable flecks on her neck. She is on the taller side...I have not measured her yet, but I think she is around 15-15.1 HH.

This girl is so sweet and responsive! I will have had her two weeks on Saturday and have been keeping her separate from the other horses so we can bond. She begs me for affection and literally wraps her head around me and pulls me in for a hug. The depth of emotion this horse is letting me see in such a short time is amazing!

Jacy's name was originally Star, but I renamed her Jacy, which is a Native American word for moon, in honor of my Native American heritage. (Ashwin is also a Cherokee Indian word meaning horse. Thanks, Lorna, for a great name suggestion!)
I purchased Jacy as a project horse and intend to re-home her in the next two months. It will be hard, as I am already in love with this girl! She is an amazingly loving animal and I am so eager to see how far we can go in the short time we have together.
Our training starts in earnest tomorrow. I will attempt to join-up with her and judging by the signals she is giving, I do not think it will be very hard. Cannot wait to ride her!
I will try to get a video of our session and hopefully post it on Monday.
What do you think of Jacy? Do you like her name? What do you think of when you hear the word mustang?

You are very fortunate to get one of your wishes! Love the name - she is beautiful. I always thought that mustangs were small and wild. She looks regular sized and very tame. I am very happy for you!
