July's Equine of the Month - JO JO!!

Jo Jo was found at auction where he was being ridden by two young children while another child hit him with a rope to make him walk. He was only nine months old? Equines do not reach full maturity until they are 4-5 years old and should never be ridden until they are at least 3 years old. He now has a permanent knee injury due to being ridden so young. He arrived at Redwings in January of 1995. He now lives happily with his other burro friends here at Redwings.
