Jabez Ranch Horsemanship

Training for a Foundation of Respect  from the Ground Up

Jabez & Cheyenne

Cheyenne, the mare, was born in 1998.  She is a Palomino/Paint.  She has severe cribbing issues.  She is very head shy.  She was given to us with foal.  She was bred with a beautiful registered Paint.  Jabez is her first foal and she is an excellent mother.

History

Jabez was born in July 2010, here at Jabez Ranch.  He is Cheyenne’s colt.

 

Jabez’s markings make him a Medicine Hat Horse.  A Medicine Hat Horse is very sacred to the American Indian.  Warriors that rode a Medicine Hat Horse into battle believed they were protected from harm.

 

What makes Jabez a Medicine Hat Horse is the brown cap located on top of his head.  This is like a war bonnet.  He also has a splash of paint on his chest like a shield.  And his eyes are both blue.  The American Indians call these blue eyes ‘sky eyes’ or ‘heaven eyes’.

 

His mostly white body creates a great white canvass for painting special symbols.

 

For us here at the Ranch, Jabez is very special indeed.  He is a special gift from God who has given us many blessings.
