JJ
Kahnsquest and his special friend, Jeffrey Tolson, Jr.
We
adopted or rescued some of our
school horses . JJ Kahnsquest was a retired show horse, a registered
purebred Arabian gelding, who had been standing in a small backyard for
years, getting swaybacked and hay bellied. We adopted him at age 18,
and spent a few months rebuilding his condition, muscle and stamina on the
lunge line. JJ lived the rest of his
life happy and healthy with Del Camino, doing carrot stretches and getting
tummy lift scratches. At age 24 heart failure caused him to limit
his activity to hand walking and grooming, until it took him across the
Rainbow Bridge.
JJ Kahnsquest gives Kaddie Stephens an
equitation lesson in the Del Camino small arena at age 21.
With proper
exercise, leg supports like the polo wraps shown here, and daily GLC5500
joint supplement, his creakiness at the trot disappeared.
An interesting coincidence. Both of
these children later acquired their own show jumpers and began competing
on the A-circuit. After a few shows they were state equitation
champions. While JJ was not the only horse they learned horsemanship
and riding with, he was a favorite of both. Quality people and
horses seem to find one another!
