The Jingle Horse

What is a Jingle Horse? 

A jingle horse is 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. 

A jingle horse is 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.

Find out all about the jingle horse and the other horses in the remuda in this authentic western children's book about a unique true-to-life ranch experience.
