Jingle 22 year Gelding

Jingle is a beautiful 22 year old gelding. He came to us after being tossed away at auction for “meat only”. You see, Jingle has spent the majority of his life taking care of very young kids, we’re talking toddlers. He is a big boy, thick and around 16hh, but he’s aware of his size and incredibly careful and mindful when kids are around. He adores children and is the sweetest soul you’ll come across. He’s such a good boy and would be incredible for someone to care for on the ground. Jingle will never carry another person on his back, he has earned his retirement.

Jingle has had his initial physical exam and blood panel done. Upon his exam, we found out he is in serious need of a float, and as expected, has severe arthritis, see photo below. His blood work came back perfect. On January 13, Jingle is going to the vet for X-rays on his knees, a float and hopefully injections if they feel he is a good candidate. He is not yet ready for adoption, while we fight to make him comfortable enough to become adoptable.
