About Ja Bon

Jabon came to BEHS in 2009 in very bad shape. She was part of a seizure of 17 horses, and her head was deformed. Her face looks "crooked" and her vet feels she may have been kicked or stepped on as a foal. Her crooked face gives her a cute look, but it means her teeth need regular attention to insure she can eat her food. She was fostered for a year, and one day her foster "mom" decided she hated the idea of letting Jabon go and adopted her in 2010. She returned her in 2018. She spent a little time with trainer Hilary LoBue for a training tune up, and she was quickly readopted by a Bluebonnet foster home. She was returned in November 2020, when her adopters were no longer able to ride and needed to reduce their herd.

Ja Bon competed in the Non Pro Under Saddle division of the 2021 Spring BEHS Rescue Horse Training Challenge but didn't find an adopter.

Ja Bon was enrolled in the 2021 Fall Training Challenge but dropped out through no fault of her own.

Evaluation and Training

Ja Bon went to trainer Hilary LoBue for a training assessment and evaluation in late October 2018. She rides well and has a great stop. She will be best suited for pleasure, trails or obstacle work. She prefers to go slow. She is a very responsive horse and has such a great disposition. No buck, rear or bolt. She is a pleasure to be around.

Ja Bon's Spring 2021 Training Challenge partner has rode her in an arena, outside the arena, and took her to a calf sorting. Her Fall 2021 Training Challenge trainer said that Ja Bon likes to please but she is probably best suited for a trail or pleasure horse as she prefers to take things slow and easy.
