Handsome Jolly Jim is 29 years old and earned $167,071 on the track after 135 starts. He is one of TEF's "Racing Warriors!" Jim lives with eight other seniors at one of TEF's foster farms in Oklahoma.
Because TEF takes such great care of their retirees, they want the best feed. They eat Triple Crown Senior, and as you can imagine, they require a lot of it! The gang of nine spends most of their days munching away since it takes them longer than it used to.
Jim is asking for your help in letting Santa know they would like a few more bags of feed delivered before the snow starts flying around. Note: Triple Crown offers coupons on their feed bags, so if you or someone you know feeds it and has used the allotted coupon amount for the year, those go a long way to help rescue organizations like TEF!
Triple Crown Senior feed is $32 per bag at Tractor Supply. They 8 lbs per day per horse, so one 50 lb bag lasts 6 days. That's $160 per month for one horse...so NINE horses would be $1,440.
Thank you to France A., Bonnie L., Donna S., Al H., Irene J., the Princess Madeleine, Suzanne B., Dianne E., Gayle P., Delia St. P., April F., and Jill L. for helping grant Jim's wish!
