Jackson is a West Virginia bred Thoroughbred who was donated to FETRP on March 19, 2025 by his wonderful connections who wanted to make sure he had a great chance at a second career. Jackson retired from racing after 35 starts and a lifetime earnings of $80k with a mystery front right lameness that was cleared with x-rays. It was clear to FETRP that this was a hoof correction issue. Once Jackson arrived at FETRP, we had our farrier come out and he found an old abscess that turned into a severe hoof wall infection.
​
Jackson will have a pretty smooth rehabilitation journey with daily hoof treatments throughout the month of April. We expect him to make a full recovery with no limitations!
