Over 20 Years of Service

Jane is an American Quarter Horse. She was born into the Fackrell family in Utah. She was trained in Tie Down Roping but is a great all around horse and has been used in a lot of other events.

The person who competed on her the most was their son Troy Fackrell. During her career, she took Troy to the High School State Finals, National High School Finals and National Little Britches Finals. When Troy went to the professional circuits after high school, she went to PRCA, IMPRA and Western States rodeos.

Jane has been a member of the family for almost 30 years. She was retired for about 7 years. However, in 2008 when Brent (Troy's nephew) needed to learn to Tie Down rope she was brought out of the retirement pen. She was the first horse that Brent tied a calf down at a rodeo and he placed fifth.

A good friend of the family Parker Cummings also wanted to learn to Tie Down Rope. So Jane was called upon again. She has qualified Parker in Tie Down Roping for the National Little Britches Rodeo Finals in 2009.

This year Troy's son Cole started riding Jane and competing in the Little Wrangler Division of National Little Britches. Jane is a true athlete and has helped Cole qualify for the National Little Britches Rodeo to be held in Pueblo Colorado next week. This is her second trip to the finals. She just had to wait 20 years to go back. She was there in 1989 and she will go again in 2009.

This is Jane, Cole and Troy July 2009.
