As her incision healed, her cast was replaced with bandages, and then the bandages were finally removed. Her recovery was quick and uneventful, and Lacey is now back to running around with her friend, Dancer, kicking up her heels and showing off.
“She is just so precious, sometimes I think she needs an agent,” Jayne laughs. “I think she needs to be a Hollywood star.”
Jayne’s next move with Lacey is not the bright lights of the movies, but those of the show ring. She and her husband, Bob, are trying to get their little girl ready for a local halter show at the end of January. They plan to put her in local shows that are held at nearby Orange Park Acres, testing her abilities and working at her pace toward bigger and better things.
“I really think she’s got the potential to be a good show horse,” Jayne explained. “It just distressed me to see a beautiful horse standing out in a pasture, being bored, all because of a correctable birth defect. Lacey is such a magnetic personality that I want her to live the fullest life she possibly can. I think that all horses should be given the chance to reach their potential.”
