Jays A Commander (Bart) is a 2014 Sorrel gelding by Jays Smokin Story, out of Snippanengland Rose. We bred him and started him at 4, before selling him as a 5-year-old to a lady who was new to western. She got on very well with him, bringing him to clinics and small shows here while she had him. She then sold him to another client of ours, again a novice western rider who rode Bart in similar shows, clinics and camps.

He then sold Bart back to us as he didn’t have time to ride, and we have been putting some further training on him since, preparing him for the right home. He’s a very straight forward and easy horse to ride with very good, strong conformation and lovely movement. He was shown in Halter classes as a 2- and 3-year-old and so has had exposure to events from a young age.

He has a lovely character and is very friendly too. He is ready to go and show, one handed, and has all the manoeuvres. He would excel in Ranch Riding classes and Reining, but would also do very well in Trail and other disciplines. His full sister was the highest scoring Junior (5 & under) ranch horse at the European championships in 2019, so he has full potential to be competitive, but would also make a wonderful family horse, as he has done for his two previous owners.

We have ridden him on several of our open days (pictured) where we have
approx. 3-400 people attending, and he takes no notice of everyone watching. Bart is available to view at this year's open day on September 28th, 2024. He has been hacked out on our farm and seen plenty of farm traffic.
