Jewel

Second Chance's Jewel

Biography

Jewel was one of 19 horses and ponies surrendered to Second Chance from the RSPCA of Western Australia, all the animals coming from the same original owner. Second Chance and the RSPCA worked together for some weeks leading up to the rescue and Second Chance had also assisted the Animal Welfare Unit over 12 months before on some of these equines, collecting evidence and offering our equine knowledge to assist with the investigation. Eventually the owner opted to surrender a large number of equines as a part of an operation to reduce herd numbers to a manageable level. The equines were collected by Second Chance volunteers and fostered immediately into specialist care.

Jewel arrived in good body condition as her dam, Ruby had been feeding her well however she was very wormy. Jewel was also completely unhandled and naturally very frightened when it came time to catch and load she and her dam up to go to their foster home. With some help from her dam and some yards and experienced handlers Jewel was caught, haltered and safely loaded and travelled to her foster home.
