Jenning's Story
Jennings came to AAE in July 2020 from a distressed mustang sanctuary situation due to a health crisis. After 20 years of serving mustangs, the sanctuary was unable to adequately meet the needs of the horses. Jennings had a rapidly growing mass on his sheath. It was a suspect squamous cell carcinoma. Jennings has little skin pigment, and the pink skin in and around his eyes was also very agitated, likely from the sun. His weight was on the thin side, as well. When picked up, he was a friendly guy, handled easily, and loaded willingly onto the trailer.
Once at AAE, Jennings was seen be the vet. Jennings mass was removed shortly after, and he is feeling better; however, biopsy results indicated the mass was a metastatic melanoma. Fortunately, the biopsy showed clean margins with no vascular invasion. We were on a guarded prognosis for 90-days, and at re-exam, no additional regrowth was observed. Due to Jenning's lack of pigment, he is prone to recurrence or growths in other areas.
Jennings is a pretty sweet and very social guy. He loves to be with humans is always looking to interact. In general, he's easy-going, quiet, soft, and respectful. He's good with the farrier, enjoys grooming and attention. Jennings is low-level in the herd and is easily pushed off food; however, he's very active and playful with several of the other geldings. Jennings was apparently ridden in the past, and we will be evaluating him under saddle, soon.
Jennings is current with dental and hoof care, vaccines, and deworming, and he has a microchip. Due to his areas of unpigmented skin, he'll need close monitoring to identify future skin growths.
In general, there is a lot of activity around AAE including foot traffic in and out of paddock/pasture areas, mucking with wheelbarrows, grooming and care activities, weekly farrier visits. There are resident dogs, cats, chickens, and mini horses, as well as various wildlife including frequent turkeys and squirrels in and around paddock/pasture areas. AAE is situated on the corner of a busy road with high speed vehicles, trucks, and sirens. Tractors are used in and around pasture/paddock areas, trucks deliver feed, and a squeeze is occasionally used for unloading hay. Neighbors have weekly gardeners that utilize various power tools, and children that are active in yards adjacent to some stall/paddock areas. Horses at AAE are accustomed to a more active environment as opposed to a quiet/sterile environment.
