E-Mails From Jackie

I have been looking through the blog trying to find if I ever blogged the e-mails I received from Jackie - the woman who originally rescued Jimmy. I'm sorry if this is a recycled topic, but I think it's cool and at least for my own record, I'd like to have them online. Enjoy :-)

So glad to hear he is doing good. We did rescue him along with his three 1/2 brother and sisters. We did not get to see his mother and not sure what breed she was, but the mother did not die. His father was a sorrel and white paint. The man we got him from was disabled and could not care for them and his wife had just left him. I am not a rescue but I do love horses. I saw the add in the paper and went to pick out one. When I got there I had to take all four because they looked so bad and starved. They were kept in a stall and there was no food that I could see. We kept a colt, my mom has one of the fillies and we keep in touch with the owners of the other filly. They are all doing good with their training. I do have a picture of him when we got him,he had never been touched. I will find the picture this week and send it to you. It is so neet to see him. Please send more pictures or e-mail them. You can even call me.

 found a picture of Jimmy Choo! I will have my daughter scan it and send it to you tomorrow. They all looked so bad when we got them! I did not want to take pictures because I hated seeing them like that. My youngest daughter is 9 and loves looking at Jimmy Choo's pictures and reads what you have wrote. I will send you a picture of Rocko and Karli (my 13 year old) He has turned out to be a great trail horse but that is about all he knows.  Can't wait to send you the picture.

I asked how old he was when they found him...Jackie replied

My guess is between 7-8 months. They were all so little for their age. I was worried when I wormed them that one would die. They just stood around, never playing like most babies. My dad trimmed Jimmy Choo's hooves before he left. We had to tranquilize him. He was so scared! He had never been touched by people. We had to find them homes quick because they were living in our arena. They did not have shelter but they had good food, they did not seem to mind.   My whole family hears about Jimmy Choo and what you have done with him. It is so hard to believe what has become of the little unwanted horse! I tried to get my dad to take him so he would stay in the family. After seeing what you have done with him we are sure glad he found you.

Having Jimmy is just about the most amazing journey I've ever been on :-) I'm grateful every day to have him in my life.
