Update: this handsome stallion has passed and is dearly missed.
Jack as we named him in April 2012, was one of 5 horses who were rescued by PAH from neglect and cruelty. Our team worked with the State Police and secured the surrender of the horses. Among the horses were Jasper, Jack, JP, Judy and Jenny. They were all unable to be handled, fearful and also in very poor health. Our team worked for several hours to get them onto our trailer and make a few trips to PAH to bring them to safety. Once on site they all needed veterinary care, medications for lung disease, farrier hoof trimming and patience….lots of patience. Our team learned a lot through these 5 horses: Never give up, always respect boundaries, be authentic or do not even try to touch them, be kind and speak with a gentle tone.
