Jello came to us from down south to take over for our taller and larger riders after Chico found his soul mate owner.
Before coming up north, Jello made an impression on the APHA halter circuits winning 14 halter points and 3 points in grand champion halter on the open circuit, earning her a register of merit from the association. She also earned 13 APHA halter points in the amateur division, earning a register of merit for those accomplishments as well.
Jello also has had success as a broodmare, giving birth to two registered APHA foals (a filly in 2009 (TMF Striking Custom) and a colt in 2011 (TMF Striking Barlink)). Both were chestnut overos and went on to compete in APHA halter events.
Before meeting us, Jello was know in barns as "Pretty," which makes sense because her full name is Striking Pretty Lady. Unfortunately, we met Jello the same week that our own Pretty passed away in 2013. Being Erika's forever favorite horse, we could not call another horse by her name so a new name had to be created. At the time, Jello was so fat and chunky from spending so much time in the fields, she literally jiggled as she walked. As a result she dubbed the nickname "Jello Jiggler," which despite all efforts ended up sticking as her official barn name.
At the Painted Bar Stables, Jello is a stable and level-headed personalty. Low on the totem pole in the herd, Jello is instead devoted to her human companions (although she is very fond of our thoroughbred, Bear). She is always awaiting instruction to make sure she does just what we want. That said, sometimes Jello gets confused - she really likes it when we are clear about just what we want of her. She is very dedicated and even self-sacrificing, protecting her rider at all costs.
Jello is available as a mare for our Custom Foal program for 2014. If you or someone you know would like a baby out of her, sired our own stallion Sierras All The Gold, shoot us an email at paintedbarstables@gmail.com.
