Jas
Shearer has been breeding Akhal-Tekes since 1986. Jas
was introduced to the breed by the late Eberhard Sprandel.
The German native had migrated to Colorado specifically because
the area was conducive to Akhal-Teke breeding. Sprandel
passed his passion for this ancient breed on to Jas.
Since then, Jas has been committed to promoting the Akhal-Teke
to others in the equine world who appreciate the unique qualities
of this ancient breed.
Magic
Valley Ranch Akhal-Tekes have proven their worth in competitions
ranging from endurance rides and combined training events
to the dressage ring and polo field. In addition to
competing successfully in dressage
events and endurance rides, Jas was among the finishers in
the Pony Express reenactment ride XP2001 -- which retraced
the actual route from St. Joseph, Missouri to Virginia City,
Nevada. Riding her Akhal-Tekes Astrachan and Dancer,
Jas demonstrated the Akhal-Tekes' phenomenal ability to persevere
challenging conditions.
