Mare
DOB:
2004

13 hh

Markings: None.
Location:
Rowlett, TX
Adoption Fee:
$100
Temperament:
Jazz did not have much
handling prior to coming
into foster care, but is
still very trusting and
willing. She wants to
please her handler. She
has a very sweet nature
and has really blossomed
with some daily
handling. She has nice
manners.
Physical problems /
health issues:
On arrival the vet
stated that Jazz was
150-200lbs under weight
and her growth had been
permanently stunted.
Jazz has a fallen
fetlock (left rear) that
the vet examined when
she came in initially.
He determined that it
she had an old bone
fracture to the lateral
splint bone that has
long healed. Some old
tendon damage is
apparent also. X-ray's
revealed no pathology to
hoof/foot bone
structure.
Early in the summer of
2008 she completely tore
her deep flexor tendon
(same one that always
was injured but before
it was just ripped and
now it's ripped apart).
After doctoring her and
for a few months having
a special shoe on her
she is back the way she
was. I was told she may
actually be more
comfortable now that
it's completely torn. So
she is basically a
healthy beautiful girl
who has a severely
fallen fetlock that
doesn’t cause her any
pain. She needs frequent
farrier visits to keep
that toe in check as it
tends to elongate
quickly.
Interaction with horses:
She gets along fine with
others. She's out with a
gelding and some donkeys
and likes them all.
