WATCH HUNGRY JACK

Watch Hungry Jack is a 2002 AQHA Bay Gelding aka Hungry.  Hungry is a real sweet horse that is very very gentle to be around and very gentle to ride.  I bet he would even be suitable for an inexperienced rider because he is so calm to ride and easy to ride.  He has never offered to do anything wrong.  The problem that we have with him is that he just don't have a big enough motor for being a top notch ranch horse.  We have done all phases of ranch work off of him and he will do everything and knows it all, but he does not pull good by the horn.  We have roped a lot of calves off of him out in the pasture but he just doesn't want to really pull and drag like we like them too.  He is not a dead head and he is not numb sided or in his face, but he is somewhat lazy.  I think that is why he doesn't pull good by the horn.  Hungry moves out well and doesn't fight you or anything like that, he's just not snappy like we like.  He will walk, trot, and lope willingly, just doesn't seem to have the speed and all that we need.  He would probably be pretty good in the sorting pen because he doesn't get hot or excited real easy.  He is very laid back.  Hungry has a good handle on him, good stop, reverse, and he neck reins good too.  You can even ride him around with just a string around his neck and nothing on his head or in his mouth.  He is physically sound as far as I know.  He has never been lame and we have ridden him pretty hard.  We have roped off of him out in the pasture, penned wild cattle in the brush on him, gathered and sorted cattle, etc.  The only hole in him is that he is a very mild cribber.  I will sell him with his good leather collar.  He does not crib at all with the collar on.  If he does not have it on, he will only do it when he is stalled up and very board.  He is NOT one of those horses that would rather crib than eat.  He prefers food over cribbing (even when not wearing his collar).  Again, he does not crib at all with the collar on and he can wear it 24-7 all day every day.  We only took it off for the pics...other wise it has never been off of him.  He does not have any health issues and his teeth are in perfect shape.  He has not taught any of our other horses to crib either because we keep the collar on him all of the time.  There are surgeries out there to fix it, but the collar is cheaper and it works on him.  Hungry is not a bossy horse and can get picked on if there is a very dominant horse in his herd.  He will stand up for him self too though so it is not a problem.  On Hungry's papers he has Skatty Joe (performer and producer), Two Eyed Jack (all time leading sire, big time performer and producer), Watch Joe Jack (big time performer and producer), Doc Clabber (NCHA Money Earner and big time producer), and many more good ones.  Sorry the pics aren't great, but I just snapped them one day because I had my camera with me when we were at his pasture.  We didn't have any tack with us, so Colton just got on him bare back with a halter.  He is so gentle!  He does not require daily riding or anything like that.  He hasn't been rode in over a month and Colton just walks right up to him out in the pasture and puts a halter on him and jumps on him bare back with no issues.  He's got good feet and we have had shoes on him before, but he is currently bare foot because we are not riding him much any more because we have so many youngsters that need the riding more.  SOLD!!  THANKS CRISSY IN HUCKABEE, TX!!
