This horse has been adopted!

Jehu is an 9 year old Thoroughbred who is ready for a new career through the New Jersey chapter of ReRun Inc. This unraced gelding is ready to go with the adoption fee of $2,500.

Jehu is a big mover with a forward gait and the sweetest personality to match, this boy has a lot to offer! Let’s hear what ReRun has to say about him:

“Jehu is a ReRun favorite with a big personality and unlimited potential. He never raced and is 100% sound. He will excel in a career in Hunters. He has been restarted in our training program and in the few short weeks we have him doing walk, trot and canter and has learned how to leg yield. He is also jumping small courses. He is a big moving, forward horse, who expects his rider to know how to ride. He will need an advanced rider with ambition to train and show him.

Jehu is a friendly guy, with bright eyes and a sweet attitude. When you call his name in the field, he perks right up and mosies his way over, as if to say "Hi! Here I come!!!" He has a nice medium build for the average/smaller size rider. He is a pretty mover with lots of suspension and a soft mouth. He does not have any vices and stands well for the vet and farrier.”
