Color: Sorrel
Markings:
Location:
Wilson, OK
Adoption Fee:
$250
Temperament:
This little guy has had
a lot of changes in his
life so far. He’s lost
his mom, been injured
and lost an eye. His
previous family didn’t
care enough to take care
of him, so he needs a
new family who will love
him and give him a
chance! Jerry James is
calm, totally laid back;
it’s hard to believe
he’s just a baby!
Physical problems / health issues:
Jerry James’ mother
kicked him in the face,
damaging his eye. His
previous owners did not
bring him in to have it
cared for. At this point
it will have to be
removed, as the
infection is too bad to
save it. However, Jerry
gets around just fine
(turned out with a
babysitter 34 year old
Arabian gelding!), and
he will easily adapt to
the loss, since he is so
young.
Interaction with horses:
Unknown yet.
Interaction with people:
Loves people….loves hugs
and brushing…totally a
sweetheart.
History:
Jerry James’ previous
owners did not have his
eye injury cared
for. Had it been treated
right away, it is likely
he would still be able
to see out of it. He was
brought to the Elgin vet
clinic with his mother,
where he was left. The
previous owners told the
vets to put him
down. Jerry’s Mom is a
registered QH, and his
sire is a registered
Arabian, apparently one
of the best “cow Arabs”
in the country, yet to
them he wasn’t worth
taking care of.
Lucky for Jerry, the
vets called HfH, and he
will now receive the
care that he needs. When
he grows up, he’ll make
a great horse for
someone, trainable for
just about anything!

Other comments:
JJ is the sweetest, most
kind baby you’ve ever
seen. Leads, walks
beside you---just like
he’s done it his whole
life (rather than having
his first halter on the
day he came into the
rescue!) Loves
attention, super smart
little baby!!!
(beautiful also!)
