My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

If you are interested in adopting this horse, please submit an Adoption Inquiry via AAE's website; No texts please: https://www.allaboutequine.org/how-to-adopt.html. Adoption fee subject to change based on training; see website for all current information.

Jinks was an early 20s stallion when he came to AAE following a law enforcement seizure. He was reported to animal control several times over the past few years after repeatedly wandering the streets and bothering neighboring horses. Eventually, he was captured, taken into custody, seized, and transferred to AAE. He was a bit underweight, and his teeth and hooves were in need of care.

Jinks has a friendly disposition and he was touchable, but he didn't appear to have much training. He wasn't a fan of haltering. Once he was handleable and halterable, Jinks was castrated, and he also had hoof and dental care, vaccinations, deworming, and he got a microchip. Fortunately, we didn't identify any other underlying issues. Though law enforcement believed he was 12-16 years old, his teeth suggest he's early 20s.

Jinks is much improved now. He's a really sweet guy, easy-going, and willing to learn. Once halterable, Jinks was quick to enjoy grooming and most human interaction. He's doing well with hoof handling, and he's done well with the farrier. Jinks is fairly uncomplicated and will make someone a very nice companion, though he might be best suited for a home with another gelding considering his long life as a stallion.

Jinks is now current with dental and hoof care, vaccines, and deworming, and he has a microchip. He'll continue learning as he waits for his new family.

In general, there is a lot of activity around AAE, various resident animals, as well as various wildlife in and around paddock/pasture areas. AAE is on a busy road, therefore, horses at AAE are accustomed to a more active environment as opposed to a quiet/sterile environment.
