JIM

We get all kinds of young flashy horses in that everyone oohs and aahhs over but nobody pays attention to the old, senior ones. They’re the "throw away" bunch. We never thought we’d find someone willing to take on Jim and give him a forever home for his remaining years. We were WRONG!!!!! Thankfully, Mary found it in her heart to take Jim and let him live in her green pastures. Since Jim has anxiety issues if he can’t see the other horses he also has a new pasture buddy so he’s fit and happy. Jim came to us along with a miniature stallion the end of October ‘10. They were forgotten in a back field. Now he’s fat and happy and living the good life.

Through a grant funded by our local Thurston County Humane Society, HAROTC can
provide up to $100 per animal to assist with emergency feed and/or veterinary care.

Castration of a stallion qualifies under this program.

To apply for the grant please call 360-701-2007
