Adoptable Horse: Jess, a 16-year-old 14.2hh grade mare
Organization: Humane Society of North Texas, Fort Worth, Texas

Get to Know Adoptable Horse Jess



Meet Jess! This beautiful girl just shined at the Texas 4-H Homes for Horses show in July, for which she spent eight months being trained in hand by a 4-H participant. She has come a long way!

Her favorite thing in the world is to be brushed and pampered. Jess does better with another horse and is seeking a home where she can enjoy her days as a companion.

Jess stands approximately 14.2 hands tall. This adoptable horse — located in Joshua, Texas near Fort Worth — is up-to-date on vaccinations, Coggins, and farrier care, and is microchipped. Age is an estimate.  Please fill out an interest in adoption form and schedule an appointment. When you adopt, you are not just giving a second chance to an animal in need; you are becoming a part of HSNT’s critical rescue work. Adoption fees help HSNT continue to assist more animals — and people — that need a helping hand.

Contact the Humane Society of North Texas today about ASPCA Right Horse Adoptable Horse of the Week, Jess!
