Black Jack Horse Quarterhorse Blackfoot, ID

Black Jack didn't have the best start in life. He had a huge hernia and was passed off to three different families in the first year of his life because no one wanted to pay for the hernia surgery, nor did they want to take care of him. When he came into rescue in October of 2011 he was extremely small for his age and had not been handled. He had hernia surgery and was gelded in November. He had major infections so was on high doses of antibiotics for 6 weeks. He was handled a lot during that time and became a super sweet guy that loves attention. He has had his feet trimmed a couple of times and done pretty well for the farrier. He now leads, ties, stands and loads extremely well. We have just started lunging him in the round pen. He's a pretty docile guy so needs a gentle hand. He has really grown and put on weight since being in foster care. He can be registered. We have his papers, but have not applied for his registration to the American Quarter Horse Association. If you are interested in adopting Jack, you must be willing to give him a great forever home, not just a temporary one. You must be willing to have a home/pasture inspection before adopting and fill out an application. We want the best possible homes for our equine friends. They deserve it. Jack was wormed and vaccinated with Vetera Gold in May 2012. His adoption fee will be $400.00 to insure he goes to someone that can afford to take care of him. If you think you can give Jack a wonderful forever home, please call his foster mom, Sue, at  (208)270-4046.  Thank you for looking!
