TREW Jack
11 years old
15.1hh Standardbred gelding
Jack is an 11 year old Standardbred. Bright bay in colour he stands approx. 15.1 hh. Jack came into TREW's care with his paddock mate Rolls.
This beautiful gelding is an estimated 200-250kg overweight.
Jack has a lovely, willing nature, loves attention and is very eager to please you. We have been told that like his paddock mate, Rolls, Jack is also a trained riding horse who has attended shows in the past.
Always the first to call out as soon as he sees people coming his way, Jack is responding well to his new diet and has already shed several kilos. The fat deposits on his hind quarters and the cresty neck are the most obvious signs of the extra weight this lovely boy still has to lose over the coming months.
Obesity in horses is a common problem faced by owners agisting and not having the facilities needed to remove horses from the grass which is growing in abundance this year. Generally when you think of a welfare case a skinny horse pops into mind, but obesity in horses is as bad a problem, if not worse, than putting weight on. This is because shifting the fat can be a problem for many owners, especially in older horses who may have arthritis and other ailments,
Jack loves being scratched and his facial expressions sure show his appreciation
