Campus Celebrity: Junior the Horse

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Sewanee chapter.

If you haven’t met this week’s campus celebrity, you should. Possibly the biggest personality on campus!

Unfortunately, when I interviewed him, he didn’t want to give very long, deep responses, so we had to stick with the basics.

Get to know our Campus Celeb!

Name: Junior

Nicknames: Ju, Juju

Gender: Wow, loaded question asking me to define my gender. Truthfully, I am a gelding, but I’ve always wanted to be a stallion.

Birthday: March 25, 2003

Class: Technically I’ve received zero credit hours, but this is my 4th year at Sewanee.

Major: Writing or Riding (I’m not sure how you spell it)

Extracurricular Activities: Eating, drinking, modeling and getting into trouble

Best Class You’ve taken at Sewanee: Novice riding, it might’ve been a PE course, but I learned so much and the coach really liked me.

Signature Pub Order: You’d think with the amount I pay to be at this school, they’d give me some pub bucks, but alas, I don’t think I’d like Pub; I’m more into fruits and veggies.

Signature Dance Move: Whip/Neigh Neigh

What qualities do you find most attractive in a girl: 4 legs

Biggest Pet Peeve: People that call me a pet.

Spirit Animal: horse…duh

Weird Body Fact: I can move my ears

What is the most embarrassing song on your iTunes? “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” by Big and Rich

What is your most embarrassing Sewanee story?

Well, this one time during my freshman year I got lost on the perimeter trail. The worst part is that I’m not even allowed to be on the perimeter trail.

If you could be any other animal, what would you be? And why?

I think I would be a Sewanee dog. They seem to get to wander around campus wherever they want. I hear some even get to go into academic buildings and residential halls. I would love air-conditioned and heated buildings.

Seeing as you’re quite well-known around the Equestrian Center, to what would you attribute this fame?

Well, I would call it infamy. I am famous for all the trouble I get into. Like the time, I snuck out of my pasture at night and was found wandering around that morning. Everyone was especially upset because of all the hoofprints I’d left in their front yards.

So you said your signature dance move was Whip/Neigh Neigh, how do you whip/neigh neigh?

I’m glad you asked. Why don’t you watch me, watch me!
