November's Horse of the Month

November and Thanksgiving are a time when we realize that we are in the autumn of the year and for many of our equine family, they are in the autumn of their lives. One such fellow is Jasper - 27 years young - and a grateful fellow is he.

Jasper came to us from a family who in their enthusiasm to live the country life, bought Jasper, another horse, some sheep and dogs - but they knew nothing about taking care of these animals and how expensive they would be. When the man hurt himself and lost his job, caring for the animals became overwhelming and the dogs, consumed with hunger - attacked the sheep. Authorities were called and the people, realizing the error they had made in taking on such responsibility, happily turned the horses over to Redwings.

So today, Jasper is thankful to be at Redwings where he is safe and well cared for - especially as he ages. Please come visit Jasper and our equine family Tues-Sat., 10am- 3pm.
