Thank you Nancy Johns for Jammy's December Sponsorship
11/08- Approximately 3 year old Morab (morgan/arabian) filly, has some ground training. She has an old rear ankle injury that occurred when she was "accidentally" mounted by a stallion as a yearling. She is not affected by the injury and will be rideable. She is currently in training to overcome her fear and trust issues. Will make a great little filly once trained. She is not at our rescue, but at a facility close to us who is fostering. She will be placed under our contract.
11/23/08- Slideshow of Jamboree in the round pen. Great moving & gorgeous little filly!
12/16/08- Jammy was brought to our rescue to finish her training and is settling in well. Her far hind ankle will always remain larger than her near. We have not seen any swelling or lameness.
1/19/09- Jamboree was introduced to the herd over the weekend. Everyone was very well behaved and seemed to enjoy each other's company. Jammy is progressing rather well and is now offered for adoption to experienced riders who have training experience, or someone willing to work w/ a reputable professional trainer. This filly has gorgeous animation, with very lofty gaits. Being that she is flighty & has trust issues we are working though, she will need an experienced and patient adopter. With the right home this filly could excel at any discipline.

3/27/09- Jammy is coming along so well! We have weaned her off her calming supplements, she is really starting to settle and adapt to her routine. She is MUCH more quiet and trusting with everyone now, strangers and friends alike. We have started working her on a line with no round pen, and she is dong wonderfully! She is a great little filly and is about to begin her long line training.
4/29/09- Jammy is doing great and is learning the ropes quite well. We have learned to crosstie, ground tie, as well as long line! Sometimes we are finding her coming up soar on that hind that was previously injured. We are planning on x-rays being taken before any saddle or cart training begins.
5/20/09- We made it to the vet last weekend for x rays. Jammy did wonderfully and trailered and acted like a champ through the whole process. I am SO proud of her! What we found is that she has an infected tooth root in her bottom jaw, requiring us to stick a tube of medicine through a hole in her jaw into the tooth root 2x per day to flush. She will be having an experimental procedure next week in which the vet will be filling the hole with a gel that sets up like an epoxy. Hopefully this will work, as our only other alternative would be to remove a section of the jaw bone and punch the tooth out from the bottom up through the top. Poor Jamboree! We also x-rayed her rear far fetlock and have started her on Adequan for 4 weeks. This is an old fracture with calcification, and we are hoping to see improvement after the series of injections. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers though her healing process!
June 09- Jammy has went through an entire round of Adequan and is ready to resume training. Her tooth procedure has worked beautifully, and we are seeing that hole close up now. She is ready for her forever home and is coming around nicely. She is much more brave now, and much more trusting & outgoing towards her handlers and strangers alike. While she will always be a spirited girl, she is much easier to work with and is willing to bond. She likes to work, and she will need a steady routine to stay on track. Currently we are learning the hose is a good thing, not a monster!
8-15-09- Jammy is doing wonderfully on her ground training and is going nicely in a bitting rig. This week we will start backing her with a light rider. We have seen no lameness since her injections and she continues to move nicely on that ankle despite regular work. She is getting more appreciative of her baths now that its miserably hot!
10/24/09- Jammy is coming along nicely and we are finally seeing this little filly blossom! She now stands proudly on her crossties, even when 3 people are grooming on her! She has been learning to allow a rider to lay across her back and is well on her way to that first ride. We are finding no swelling or lameness in her ankle. The tooth seems to be just fine as well.
11/21/09- Jammy was worked for the first time today with her young Amish boy who will assisting in her saddle training. The pair did great together and we are hoping next week to back her!
11/28/09- Jammy was backed today! She did super well and seems to love her work! She was very quiet and trusting and did not have a bit anxiety or issue with her rider. Go Jammy! We are so proud of you:)
1/10/10- Jamboree is really blossoming into a great little filly! She has come out of her shell not only with people, but with her herd mates as well. She is the tiniest horse we have here at the rescue, but you would not know that from her heart! This filly will make someone patient and kind a truly special partner.
