The Horse behind the brand
Jack Sparrow
Jack Sparrow was Madi’s once in a lifetime horse. Jack helped Madi start her first business, he was a steady lesson horse for her students, he helped her reach some major competition goals, and above all, he was her best friend. He was always the best shoulder to lean on, both figuratively and literally. He was trusted with eager pony clubbers, timid riders, and the most experienced of horsemen, and Jack was always a barn staff favorite.
Jack was quirky, silly, soft, strong, and loyal. He loved his treats, but would often need to be coaxed into eating his grain, especially if there was a new supplement in there. He was known for blowing bubbles after enjoying a snack. His steady stride was ideal for galloping beside rows of corn and his dislike of butterflies was strong. Jack liked giving kisses, loved his “girlfriend” Adara, and detested being clipped. If you knew him, you loved him. He was one of a kind.
The 5 years Madi got to have Jack as her partner were nothing short of magical. Countless new friends, gallops through the woods, lessons, trailer rides, competitions, and simply not enough hugs.
