    Interests: Applesauce & belly scratches

    Jet is a beloved elder team member. Many of our riders had their first lesson on Jet, helping them gain confidence to ride independently. Jet has logged more than 11 years of service in our programs. Prior to that, he was an all-round kinda guy, participating in roping, barrel racing, and Dressage shows. He still has lots of spunk and will do anything for a good belly scratch.
