It's always a nice surprise to discover that a celebrity I like is a fellow equestrian. On the Biggest Loser, Jillian's no-nonsense approach to dealing with her trainees won my admiration. A take no prisoners attitude can come off as harsh, but if you watch her long enough you'll see the softer side of Jillian pop up from time to time. In the end her screaming and yelling, is her way of saying, "I care about you, now loose some weight!" Jillian's horse Buzz is a PMU rescue.

Here's a celebrity who can afford the fanciest, most expensive horse money could buy, and instead Jillian gives the good life to a horse whose sole existence is due to his dams urine being used to create Premarin, a hormone replacement drug.

When Jillian bought this horse from me, I knew this was going to be a bond for life. Yes, Baby Thor’s mom was brought in from Canada as a rescued Premurin mare and nobody new she was pregnant when one day she popped out this beautiful little colt who grew big fast. As a Veterinarian connected with rescue organizations I heard about this colt when they desperately tried to find a new home for him at 8 months old. I will never forget how trusting he stepped on the trailer… something he had never seen before… with the big eyes which are his trademark .. I raised and trained him until disaster struck and I had to give up my ranch ... Jillian came to the rescue…I knew he was going to be in best hands. I lost track of him in 2008 after he had been moved to LA Equestrian Center. Then my son told me years later he thought he saw Baby Thor on TV in the background during one of Jillian’s shoots at a ranch… Those two look so good together it makes me realy happy. Thank you, Jillian !!

Dear Jillia, I am from Northwestern Pennslyvania. I was wondering how I could find a horse like yours. She is
Beautiful but I don’t know where to begin looking. I would appreciate if you could get me some information on where I could get one. Thank You and
God Bless Jillian!
