“Bell” is Jacki’s personal mare. She bought her as a weanling from John Wilkins (before her and Jim were married). Jacki had shown her sire, Little King Freckles (owned by the J – D) and fell in love with him and wanted some of his daughters.
Bell became one of Jacki’s all time favorite horses…..her “heart” horse. They have a very special bond.
Jacki showed Bell at the Nebraska Cutting Futurity when she was 3, but Bell was a little too green yet. When Bell was 4, Jim broke his hip, and that year they did not get to go to many cuttings. The next year, when Bell was 5, with not a lot of show experience, (and going up against horses who had won a lot of money) she and Jacki (who was pregnant with Jaeden at the time) finished CHAN champions in their class (and won a saddle and buckle) for the year!!
Jacki continued to show Bell over the years, with occasional time off to have foals. In 2017, Bell and Jacki finished as Non-Pro Champions in WNC.
Jacki rides Bell bareback and bridleless in her video where she talks about when punishment is abuse and when it’s not. Click here to watch.
Bell has a very sweet, right brain/introvert personality. She loves consistency, loves knowing her job, and absolutely loved being a cutting horse!

All of Bell’s foals, that are old enough to show, (except for Jae Bar Jezzy who died) have won money in something!
Bell is in foal to Rey Jae (see him on our stallions page) for a 2025 baby! 🙂
