Our Story
In 2022, my daughter and I made a dream come true when we bought Jack, a former sport horse who quickly stole our hearts. As passionate equestrians, owning our own horse felt like Christmas every day.
And Jack?
He was more than just a horse. He was a quirky, larger-than-life character who felt almost human in his antics. His signature goofball personality and soulful eyes made him impossible not to love.
But our fairytale took an unexpected turn.
Just months into building our riding partnership, Jack’s back leg started to fail him.
The diagnosis? Severe arthritis.
The vet was stunned by the severity—she couldn’t guarantee that we’d ever be able to ride him again. It was a heart-wrenching moment, and the advice from others was clear: sell him, and use the money to buy another horse.
But we couldn’t do it.
Jack had already given so much to his previous life as a jumper, and we weren’t going to give up on him now.
In a bold move, we sold our suburban home and found a little farmette that would become Jack’s forever home, regardless of whether he’d ever be ridden again. We knew he deserved to be loved and cared for after all he’d given to us.
Then, fate threw us another curveball.
Four months after Jack’s leg gave out, I became injured too. A stress fracture in my left foot—likely caused by the extra weight I’d been shifting onto that foot in the stirrup to compensate for Jack’s leg—kept me sidelined for almost a year.
I was faced with surgery to walk normally again, but during this time, I couldn’t help but reflect on how grateful I was that we hadn’t sold Jack.
It was a powerful reminder that all life faces setbacks, and the real challenge lies in how we move forward, no matter the obstacles.
My journey to recovery began in a way I hadn’t expected.
One afternoon, as I was resting in bed, I looked out the window to see Jack standing in the pasture, steadfast next to my window.
That night, as I hobbled to the bathroom on crutches, he followed me—steadily, patiently—from the bedroom window to the bathroom window, standing there watching me brush my teeth, waiting for me to finish and then followed me back to the bedroom.
His quiet devotion took my breath away.
Jack is not just a horse—he’s family. He’s a playful presence at tea parties, a watchful companion during music practice, and always ready to hang out at the barn door, just being himself.
We lovingly refer to him as our 1,300-pound labradoodle. With his goofy expressions and killer side-eye, he brings joy to everyone he meets.
We are incredibly blessed to have Jack in our lives, and we’d love for you to experience the magic he brings—whether virtually or in person.
Come meet our goofy, lovable Jack and feel the heart of Leadline Wellness for yourself.
