Jesse's Jockey Club registered name is "Memofromjessica", and his USEF (show) name is "Jesse James". Foaled 4-12-2001 in CA. I hope he looks good on your website!!!

It's been a long journey and I have learned so much about life from Jesse. Jesse rewards my patience by being a very happy and healthy horse, and I can't ask for more than that!

"Hi Bonnie,
Here is photo of one the horses you helped me find a new home for. I thought you would like to see one of the success stories. He is doing well in the english arena, and his new name is Princeton."

"Good Morning Bonnie,
How are things going down there today? That horse you sent me is wonderful. He is so sweet and very willing, which is good. he is going to be a great horse.
On monday he was out in his paddock with two other horses and there was a
fallen log, it was almost three feet around and I watched him jump over that thing no less than 4 times. he just went back and forth, around and around. It was amazing, he has wonderful form and collection. I am so excited, though I won't be jumping him for at least another year, it was great and impressive to see."

"Hi Bonnie :) ,
Thank you God!!....and Bonnie too :)
Confession: Mr. Del looks like an Olympic recruit out in our field. He is
totally beyond perfect! We made 3 videos of him last weekend. He learns super fast and is a very smart boy with a lovely temperament. He looked like poetry in motion with his floating trot out in the front pasture. He did not act like a nut ball on Sunday and he had more room to do so if he chose to. I have to say I think he is the perfect fit for our farm and my filly. He is a true gentleman.
I will send the video as soon as I figure out how to do so.
Thank you for everything."

"Charlie had his first workout yesterday. We went over to Judy's arena and lunged there. He did well with his voice commands except he wasn't keen on cantering. However, once he did canter, it was lovely, very balanced and controlled!! We then walked back home (thru the pasture, and he then had his first bath with actual soap since being with me. He looks stunning!! :) He didn't even roll. I gave him the opportunity when we were done lunging and he just hung out in the arena, kept coming to me. So he must know how good he looks & he must want to stay this way."
Christine

Later update from Christine and Charlie:
"Here are two pictures from when Linda's grandson Jake was visiting in August. I thought you'd like to see them. We lunged Charlie in our pasture because we were running out of daylight. Jake is 14 and we had time for him to ride twice. He just loved it & couldn't wait to go home & tell his friends he'd ridden a race horse. The junk in the background of the face shot belongs to Judy's neighbor & is actually on the other side of the fence so it does not pose any danger to the horses (just in case you were worried)."

"Bonnie, thanks for helping me find a new home for Siberian Pearl. I think this is a good success story. Siberian Pearl is going to Virginia. I'm really looking forward to seeing pictures of Siberian Pearl in his new discipline of Ladies Hunter Show. Siberian Pearl is a lucky horse, and an exceptional horse. I know he will give his all to please and learn the new discipline.
Sincerely,
Donald F. Smith, Trainer"

"Zip??? He is AMAZING!!! I LOVE him to death and he returns it tenfold! Everything you
said about him was right on... and then some!!! He is PERFECT in every way! Perfect
conformation, perfect face, perfect temperament, perfect manners, etc... I'm in love!! : )
He is doing so well- happy as a clam! He has his nice cozy stall at night and is out with
his buddies during the day when the weather is nice. He gets along well with all the
other horses, mares and geldings alike. hang out and run around together all I love that
Zip is finally able to relax, be a kid and have fun! I'll have to get some pictures- as soon
as I can, I will send you some!!
Michelle, Northern Ca."

"The California horse racing industry definitely needs people like Bonnie Adams and her new organization, TROTT, to help ensure that we show our gratitude to our equine athletes by seeing that they get the safest and most dignified retirement possible.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
