Jimmy

Meet Jimmy, a yearling that in October 2024, was purchased at an auction by a Lillooet ranch family, this sweet 8 month old Appaloosa colt was soon put back up for sale when it became clear he wasn’t suited for cattle work and had lameness issues.

So, we stepped in and brought him to Second Chance Cheekye Ranch, where he could have the fresh start he deserved.

Jimmy is settling into his new life, enjoying gentle handling, daily walks, and plenty of love. He’s calm, curious, and has the longest eyelashes you’ve ever seen!

However, Jimmy’s future will require extra care. X-rays have revealed moderate pastern arthritis and a large bone chip in his left front fetlock. Managing his condition will involve careful hoof trimming and surgery to remove the bone chip plus gelding when the time comes.

Your sponsorship can make all the difference in Jimmy’s life. With your support, we can provide the specialized vet care, farrier work, and rehabilitation he needs to grow into a happy, comfortable horse.

Help Jimmy take his next steps toward a brighter future.
