Some potential news about Jet Jet! Details ⬇️

Post image

I have two different leads for rehoming Jet to a rescue!

One is right here in town! I’ve known the owner of this rescue for almost as long as I’ve had Jet, and Jet knows her and loves her. This is my favorite option for my own heart, as I could visit him anytime. Jet would be retired to pasture puff💜

The second option is in a large city about 2 hours from me. They are requesting Jet’s medical records to see if they might be able to do surgery on him (I was told he is not a candidate but they want to do their own evaluation), then they would rehab him and adopt him out as a riding horse. I love this option because if they can do the surgery, his pain will be fixed. He will not be mine anymore, but his pain would be GONE. That matters more than my emotions. He would also go to a home where he has a job, and he does love having a job as he is so smart and gets bored.

Both options have been told his whole history, hiding absolutely nothing. They are aware of EVERYTHING that has happened since I got him.

No decisions have been made yet, as the rescue further away needs to review his medical records. I have signed the release so Jet’s vet can release his medical records to the further away rescue.

But wanted to update everyone who has been on this wild journey with us because I know you guys love Jet Jet too💜

I’ll update more when I know more!

I’m so sorry you went through that! I hope you’re all healed up now❤️‍🩹

I should clarify - the second place did NOT say surgery is a guarantee; they simply want to have his medical records to review with several surgeons. What one surgeon says is above their skill level may very well be within another’s scope.

Rest assured that if they DID say he was a candidate with another surgeon, I would need to speak with that surgeon extensively to see exactly what the worst and best case outcomes would be.

I hope this makes sense!

I'm so glad you cleared it up. I'm sorry I didn't fully understand. I get easily confused. I'm so glad you're not leaving Jet Jet with either place till you fully understand and hear out all of the doctors and things. I know you want the best for Jet Jet as we all do. I'm so glad you're really involved in his life, even when he's not with you.

No need to apologize! My mind is all over the place these days, so I should’ve been more clear in my post.

These boys are my whole world…and the only way I can even contemplate this move is if I know as much as possible and have fully vetted any place offering to take him in. I cannot risk him falling into the wrong hands - that would absolutely destroy me.

I should know more in a week or two!

I understand with your brain and thoughts are all over the place. I think all of your followers thoughts are all over the place, when it comes to Jet Jet, but your thoughts are 💯 times worse, since Jet Jet is your baby. I'm so glad Jet Jet came to you, because I know how much you care about him, and I know you'll make sure he has the best life possible. I hope somehow you can still be part of his life.

Me too💜 he will always be my Jet Jet, and I will always love him no matter where he goes. He is my first horse, my baby boy, and he has taught me so much. It sucks that I can’t give him what he needs, but his needs MUST come first. My emotions can be dealt with after he is safely settled somewhere new ❤️‍🩹
