Jack örökbefogadása

Férfi

Jack came to Willows aged 6 in 2013 when his owner desperately needed somewhere for him to go. His owners had tried to break him for riding but Jack had become dangerous and started throwing off his riders. It was decided that he wastoo unsafe to ride and things looked very uncertain for him but fortunately we had a space and we took him in. As soon as he settled in, we had our Vet and Physio check him over and run tests and it turned out that Jack had a kissing spine (horses with this condition feel constant pain under saddle because sections of bone attached to the vertebrae are too close together and impinge on each other) and this is what would have been causing the unwanted behaviour. He was in terrific pain and he wasn't able to express it in any other way. We were advised that the best path for him was to be retired and he's been very happy ever since. Jack is an absolute sweetheart and loves being around people and is now part of the animal-assisted therapy unit.
