WALKIEN JESSE SKYWALKER - I had my eye on this horse ever since Marjorie Lacy had Bill Roy train him and submit videos for his Heritage Certification years ago. The opportunity to acquire him finally arose and in fall 2016, Jesse traveled across Canada to Wisconsin, after downsizing the herd in preparation for a move to the Black Hills that didn’t happen. What attracted me to this horse was his sensible nature when he was undergoing training. Nothing seemed to bother him. He was quiet, gentle, and respectful and his demeanor reminded me a lot of Echo’s Star Gray Wilson.

Marjorie and Charles Lacy once owned Jesse’s grandsire, Heza Walker, and regretted that they had not kept any of his bloodlines in their herd. He’za’s pedigree read like a ‘Who’s Who’ of the Tennessee Walkers of the earliest years, and I remember thinking that it was amazing to find a horse in 1981 that still had Black Allen, Roan Allen, and Hunter’s Allen on his papers. He’za too had been a ranch and family horse, both in Montana and then in Alberta.Jesse’s pedigree also has Kary’s Jeepers, Laddie’s Monte Ray, Sun’s Delight D., Midnight Mack K., and Allen’s Gold Zephyr (Trigger Jr.), to name a few. Karla Freeman videotaped him for the CRTWH Program For Excellence (PFE), taking him out of the pasture he was in with his ‘girls’ and leading him along the country road beside it. I think it says a lot for his easy-going nature that with that video, Jesse achieved the in-hand Bronze Level. Then in 2008 he went to Bill Roy in BC for saddle training.

Here is what Bill Roy, as Jesse’s trainer, had to say: “Jesse is easy going and one of the most natural "WALKING" horses I have ever worked with. Wonderful canter, great mind. I also got to do some ground work with one of Jesse’s foals. It learned fast and had the same nature. This is really important to me in a stallion.”

Jesse is a 21st century horse who preserves that link back to what Tennessee Walking Horses used to be famous for – good natured, easy going, all-purpose family mounts with a smooth, ground covering walk. Good looking too! I hope he will have the chance to pass this priceless legacy on into the future.
