Jacks Journey

Jack is a 21 year-old registered Quarter Horse. Upon arrival to the sanctuary Jack was skin and bones and completely emaciated. He was posted on Facebook and we knew we had to jump in to help. We went and got him October 14, 2024 within 4 hours of the post! The owner surrendered him to us and now he’s on his new journey to recovery. Since we have picked Jack up we have been in constant contact with our amazing vet! With him being in the condition he was we followed the UC Davis re-feeding protocol and he was under around the clock care. Since arrival Jack has gained about 300 pounds In his first 115 days at IRES.

We have since been able to get Jacks teeth done at a specialist and now he is thriving!

His personality is really starting to come out! He loves to roll and to sunbathe out in the pasture. He also loves to make sure all of the feed pans in the barn are clean!
