Jealous Much's complete pedigree!
How do I begin, where do I start, how can I explain? The people, who know me well, know that Junebug has always held a very special place in my heart. I have always loved her so much, even before I ever owned her. Then one day, Junebug was ours and all was right with the world.
Sshe foaled, Black & Blue a.k.a. Bruise, in 2008, who we have retained in our herd and who, by the way, we consider to be the finest jack on our farm. We chose to breed her to Napoleon this time knowing that the elegance from both parents would only produce a masterpiece. We were not wrong!!
As we watched this little guy being born all we saw was white, and more white, and very few spots. As he dried it was evident that his few tyger spots had been delicately placed to perfection. He has dark spots around his eyes with dark eyeliner (guyliner!) all the way around both eyes, three tear drop tyger spots on his left shoulder, on his mid section, back of legs, and ears. All of his spots have deep halos around each one which means his spots will never change. When he was completely dry his coat resembled lofty clouds floating in the clear blue sky. He stood there with a presence of beauty rarely seen in a new born jack….and he weighed 31 lbs. standing 22.25”…. built like a tank!!! If he had arm muscles I’m sure he would have flexed them to all the other donkeys as if to say, “JEALOUS MUCH?” He is a one of a kind boy with lots of herd sire potential. We are keeping this boy as our new junior herd sire.
Update! Jealous Much was placed with three brood jennets after the 2011 show season ended. They are all three in season and hopefully he has successfully settled them in foal.
Update!! Jealous Much is the unofficial "High Point Halter Jack of Tennessee" after his first and only year of showing!
He tied with his stablemate, HHAA Heza Brick House, for this award! The official winners will be announced in February 2012, during the year-end award ceremony of The Tennessee Donkey ASSociation.
Thank you to Dena Wilson who handled Jealous Much during his photo session and made these fantastic photos possible!
