TEAM JET
We visited with Jet and his Trainer, Brittany Rader, in early July. Jet is doing great. Brittany has been taking things slow with Jet, which is great. Jet isn't a horse you can push into things, so I appreciate how much Brittany is respecting Jet. Jet seems very comfortable with Brittany. The heat was pretty unbearable today, so today the Visit focused on Jet and his ground manners!

08-05-2011: An update on Jet from trainer Brittany Rader - Jet would be ideal for an intermediate to advanced rider. He does not buck, bolt, kick, bite or have any vices. He is much easier to catch now then when we first got him. He works best without a bit and he works great off of leg cues. Most of his time under the saddle has been at a walk/trot, but we are now working on cantering. He stands still when you mount/dismount.
His only fear is people messing with his ears, he is very ear-shy. I do think with patience, time and love he will be accepting of it though. But, once Jet trusts you, he will do just about anything for you including: swinging a mallet or rope over his head, walk over a blanket, back up a hundred steps in a row...
He is an amazing little guy!
