HX Jackpot

2015 14.2hh Bay Gelding

HX Jackpot is a top all around pony. "Chance" has been brought up by junior riders with few pro rides. Used in lessons and prominently showed by juniors, he always meets expectations. He has only a year of Hunter/Jumping training. We have started working on his lead changes. He lands his lead 80% but when doesn’t he offers the change most of the time and gets a full change some of the time.

Can be brought to Waco Week 2.

Located Dallas, Texas
