Check out the MYWY Success Story of Katie and Jazz
My name is Katie and I adopted my horse Jazz, formerly known as “Ladybird” from the 2019 MYWY Competition. I had a series of unfortunate events happen with my horses, including my beloved Arabian gelding cutting his tongue off at a young age and I ended up having to put him down. A friend had suggested going to the event in search of a Mustang and I thought, “How much worse can it get?” I had no idea what to expect. I filled out my adoption application form and started to watch the classes. My friend knew one of the trainers who had a four year old Bay, South Steens Mare up for adoption and told me to keep an eye on her. It started to POUR rain and the event was postponed. My friend and I went around and hung out in the stalls with the horses and I couldn’t believe how well adjusted these freshly wild equines had become, in a strange place with so much going on.
I had decided to bid on a couple of horses, but my budget wasn’t much. I was out bid a few times and becoming discouraged. We were all crammed in a large, white tent, and in came “Ladybird”. She walked into that tent like she had been there a million times. Her demeanor was so relaxed and I just had a feeling that I needed this horse. I won her in the auction! When her handler handed me her lead rope she put her head on my shoulder, almost to say “There you are!”. It brought tears to my eyes and I knew I had made the right decision. She hopped right into the trailer and came home with me. Since then she has been the most wonderful horse I have ever had. We have camped in the mountains, swam in the river, galloped bareback through meadows, and are showing very successfully in Working Equitation.
Jazz has placed Top Ten at three Endurance Rides. We won the Working Equitation Zone Championships, placed Second in our Region and Sixth in the Nation. Jazz won Mustang Breed High Point!! This year we are moving up to Level 4 in Working Equitation, learning flying lead changes and will be traveling to Saskatchewan, Canada for a National Camp and Cup. MYWY gave me my heart horse.
