Chuckey Crown Jewel was purchased
in August of 1986 when she was 15 months old. I trained her to drive as
a 2 year-old, and began riding her when she was 3. After using Jewel pulling
my cart in a cousin's wedding, I began to get
requests from others wanting my cart for weddings or other specials occasions.
I purchased a spring wagon for such occasions and for the next several
years Jewel and I participated in dozens of weddings, reunions, festivals,
anniversaries, and other special events.

I have ridden Jewel on many
trail rides, including 2 different week-long pack trips. On the first
trip, through the Smoky Mountains, I rode her and also used her as a pack
horse. On the second trip, on the Virginia Highlands Horse Trail, I rode
her every day. She was as fresh and energetic on the last day as she had
been on the first.

I like all of my horses, but
Jewel is my favorite. She is small in size, but big in heart. She has
always done anything that I have asked of her, and done it well. In addition,
she has produced many fine foals for us over the years.
