About:   Jade was surrendered to FARRM by her owner who could no longer care for her. Jade was set to be euthanized if she could not find a home. When Jade arrived, she was very overweight and had foundered. Founder is the common name for laminitis, a condition that inflames the laminae within the hoof. It can cause lameness in equines and is usually caused by a rich, unbalanced diet. It can be very painful and uncomfortable if it goes untreated. Thankfully, the founder is treatable with hoof care, pain management, and a strict diet. Jade was so sore that she was unable to walk or stand for extended periods of time and spent most of her days laying down. Since coming into our care, Jade has made tremendous progress! She is no longer struggling to walk and has lost enough weight to be comfortable each day. She has regular hoof care that keeps her foot needs in check.

​

Jade is a bit of a shy gal, but loves to be petted once she allows it. She has already made best buddies with our two other equine outcasts Sage and Diego. The three spend their days strolling around the yard, lounging in the sun, and enjoying each other's company.   ​
