A great passion of Jack’s was his horses. He and his family raise and show Quarter horses in Western Pleasure and All-Around since 1983 competing in AQHA and NSBA events. Nicole was the face of the operation as she is much prettier than him, but Jack and Leann were active participants loving, feeding and financing the endeavor. Jack was elated when Nicole took over the financial responsibilities on August 14th of 2021. Through showing horses several lifelong friendships were made with the other “crazy horse people.” Jack was popular on the show circuit and, to this day, people have been checking in on him and the family. Jack had a special bond with one horse in particular, Pert And Prissy. Prissy was known to take tools while Jack worked on his barn, picking his pockets, or pulling them from the toolbox. She would follow him around, and then drop or hide the tools. We assume she wanted his attention as Priss would give him the illusive “horse hug” by wrapping her head and neck around him to pull him tight to her. He was her person.
