Welcome Jango

Seth finally got a little tired of just being my groom and we decided to try and start looking for a new partner for him.  I put the bug in Courtney's ear in Aiken and when we got home we tried a few at her place and Seth really got motivated.  He realized just how much fun jumping is and we really started to ramp up the search and get serious.  About a month ago Seth tried Mr. Bojangles aka "Jango" and it seemed to be a perfect match.  He was really kind and sweet and went very nicely for Seth.  His competition record was somewhat spotty for the past year with several stops at Training and Preliminary, so we were apprehensive.  We decided to take him XC schooling at Fairhill and see what we had to work with.  Well...he was a perfect angel...Seth was schooling most of the Training elements and they looked great!  We signed an agreement with a contingency that Seth would show him at the Fairhill Schooling Show the first weekend in May and have a successful event.  We had Jango and our place for a week before the show and he was such a pleasure to be around that we were definitely rooting for everything to work.  Well Seth laid down a 26.9 in dressage and ran clear in stadium and XC, so needless to say it was a SUCCESSFUL EVENT!!!  It was great to be there with Seth and see him be rewarded with such a great partner.  Seth has been my rock for the past few years and keeps my horses going without complaining that he doesn't get to ride in shows.  I'm so glad we found Jango and am so excited to see what this pair will do this season!!!
