Sugarloaf Jackie - died suddenly February 26th 2005. She was a 20 year old registered TB ex-race horse mare and mother of Pumpernickel Penny & Gingerbread. She was my main mount and my favorite despite being a difficult horse in the beginning for a variety of reasons. Raced as a 2 year old before graveling as a 3 year old and then converted to broodmare status Sugar had difficulties socializing with other horses. She didn't seem to understand the more subtle signals of dominance and as a result when in a herd setting she got pretty beat up. I got her as a green broke 12 year old who had terrible ground manners. After a very intense and informative 5 day clinic with Clinton Anderson (the famous DownUnder Horsemanship trainer) we successfully adjusted her atitude and she became a wonderful all around horse. I rode her on trails and did some low-level eventing on until she started showing some weakness in her hocks then retired her to broodmare status where she produced 2 beautiful fillies - Pumpernickel Penny and Gingerbread.
