JB Andrew went through the Prisoner Rehabilitation Program as a young horse and was adopted by Ginger Scott as a 2 1/2 year old. Ginger put him in training with Kelly O'Leary and a partnership of a lifetime was born. Kelly began showing him in dressage and in 1990, he took first place in AHSA 1st Level, Region 8. By 1994, Andy had progressed through Levels 2 (1st place Region 8), Levels 3 (1st place Region 8 and Reserve Champion in Region 5), and into Prix St. George. In 1999 he showed successfully in Intermediare I and Kur (Kur is a marvelous test in which the horse performs at anywhere from Level 2 to the top levels but with music, and a free style pattern), as well as giving demonstrations.
Andy is easy to sit at both the trot and canter. He is now schooling at Grand Prix, and his piaffe and passage work have given him a little more spring in his step. His favorite movement is flying changes -- he finds them easy to do. At 15 years old he competed Intermediare 2 in 2000.
Andy is an ambassador for American mustangs, performing his beautiful dressage movements to music and winning fans all over the country in special exhibitions as well as competions. There is a Breyer model of him (Number 943, discontinued in 1997), and the BLM has a collectible card for Andy. Eventually, he and Kelly became such good friends that Ginger sold him to Kelly.
