One of those once in a lifetime horses that were too big for words. Jubileo was probably the best horse I will ever meet. I bought Jubileo together with Hechicero. Jubileo was a son of the world famous Spanish stallion Inedito whos offsprings has been Spanish champions more than once! A truly high-class PRE. Owning a son of him was a dream coming true. I found Jubileo in Spain in his birth place with the breeder Yeguada Sanz Roldan. Jubileo came to Sweden as a 4 year old. But the problem with great horses is sometimes they are too great even for themselves. Jubileo was one of those horses, with so much movement and mechanics that he almost hurt himself in the progress of life. Don't really know how else to explain it. I had Jubileo for 5 years. He showed me and taught me so much and I will forever be grateful to him. I just wish I could have helped him as well.
We were regulars at the veterinarian station with all different kinds of problems. We had blood tests, muscles biopsies sent all over the world, x-rays of every inch of the horse but according to the tests he was in perfect health. No one could explain why he suddenly collapsed, reared up, was shaking in his entire body, showed lameness, and the next day he could be completely fine and working on advanced level dressage. Jubileo was a mystery for all of us. And when suddenly in just a few weeks times tumors started to appear and grew rapidly. We took him to the veterinarian again, the same one who had followed us for years to test them. And of course they were malign - aggressive. So we took the decision all of us that Jubileo would end his life - end the pain and suffering to run in everlasting pastures - free of his aching body and soul. It was one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make...
