A Master Teacher Passes
Team Knollwood lost one of it’s finest teachers today when Jelly passed after a brief illness.
Jelly was a schoolmaster. He could teach the youngest riders how to post, and was endlessly patient with lessons about diagonals and steering.
Jelly was a lunge lesson master for the show barn riders. His trot cadence never changed, allowing total concentration on the smallest of rider adjustments.
Jelly was a wonderful cantering teacher. As riders progressed, he’d test them about leads and follow through.
Jelly was a pattern king. He was patient beyond campare teaching the littles how to trot circles, and could be a genius at pattern camps, teaching our advanced riders to listen to all his subtle clues before he became, shall we say, creative.
Most of all, Jelly was a grand soul.
Friendly to all, Jelly loved everyone and loved being a horse.
We’ll miss him dearly, but he’ll live on in all the memories he made with us. We are truly better for having spent time with this gentle soul.
