Yukon Jack

     I regret to report that AM Yukon Jack passed to the great green pastures of eternity yesterday. He was 34. "Jack" was a 14.3 hand Grey Arabian gelding of mostly *Raffles (English) breeding. I got him from his breeder, Al Marah Arabians in Tucson, Arizona in 1990. He was saddle trained in Duncan, Arizona and lightly ridden during his lifetime because of an accidental hock injury sustained as a colt on a ranch near Williams, Arizona. His most striking feature was the bloody shoulder on his left side which is said to denote particular bravery in the animal, from a Bedouin legend. He put up with me for 30 years, so I guess he was brave. His coat was always soft as puppy hair.

     Fair breezes and few flies to my big puppy!
