The Jingle Horse Mary Fichtner

What is a Jingle Horse? A horse that is kept in through the night to ride out in the early morning and round up the other horses. This is an important job for a special horse. One who is okay with being by himself, knowing he has a job to do. After he has his hay, he heads out to gather the working herd (or remuda). They wear bells around their necks so he can follow the jingle to find them. Each one has special gifts that help make the remuda great.

As you help the Jingle horse gather the herd you will notice how different each horse is; with their unique strengths, they make the remuda stronger. One or two horses will remind you of you and how important your gifts are!
