Handsome Jolly Jim is a handsome boy that was donated by his trainer to The Exceller Fund because he wanted to make sure this hard trying campaigner found a good home. Over the winter this poor guy got kicked in the head by another horse, and got his jaw broken. It seems to be healing nicely, though there still is some infection. Due to the injury, the horse lolls his tongue some the time. The trainer says that the vet thinks it is simply because, with the jaw pain, he is more comfortable that way. There doesn't seem to be any neurological damage, the horse can move the tongue, and even retract it, with no problem.

This horse had 134 starts or more and earned over $166,000. At 11 and after such a terrible accident, It is commendable that the owner wants him healed and placed for free. He seems to be progressing and has done well after being ridden a few times. He still has a way to go, but we are confident that "Sid" will make someone a wonderful horse!

Update - October 2006: "Sid" is doing much better and is sound under saddle. Once he knows he can trust you, he is eager to please and needs a human to call his very own.

To increase the potential for adoptove homes, Sid was moved further south where he can easily be relocated to Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, Colorado, Texas, etc.  "Sid" is currently located near Tulsa, Oklahoma.
