black jack pulled a coal waggon, the business went bust he was found in a stable feet vergrown cribbing because he was bored..
A lady bought him felt sorry for him, then couldn't afford to keep him
Blackjack had to work again
A trekking center by the seaside happy and content, teaching adults how to ride steady and safe, teaching the advanced to gallop sit to the odd buck no malice
A lady came to ride she cannot walk she has a diesease that makes her shake, blackjack will teach you we all say, he's very big but soft. he make sure she's safe and helps cause her legs don't work he goes when she tells him (for he's a clever horse)
and me i had him on loan taking trekks jumping competitions side saddle on my beautiful black friend.....
then one day he is not his self colic the vet says and blackjack takes his last polo dreaming of far off lands
We have a garden for him now and tend the flowersbut never will there be another horse so patient so careful so loving but still cribbing!!
We miss him every day 5 years on
