All I Want For Christmas is My Forever Home!
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:
It’s AAE story-time! Horses of 2018:
Billy and Luna
Billy and Luna came to AAE as orphan foals. Billy was about three weeks old,
and Luna was days old. Luna came to AAE with Billy as her buddy, while her new mom was traveling over the spring and summer.
…and good buddies they were. Two peas in a pod!
Big Brother Billy tended to pester Little Luna,
but she new exactly how to keep BBB in check….
They were introduced to the herd to learn more about herd behavior and horsey life…
and the “Brat Pack” was born…Grammy Sierra, Billy, Luna, Rascal and Foley
Billy is a lil mustang born on the Virginia Range, Nevada around March 1, 2018. He was orphaned when his mom was run off by a bachelor band when he was just a lil’ guy, only days old. He was fostered by local volunteers in NV before coming to AAE. We were told he had a scrotal hernia and additional veterinary needs were anticipated.
This lil’ guy was absolutely adorable.
…and looking super handsome now! He is active, athletic, and quite inquisitive. He’s very social and loves grooming and any kind of attention. He’s playful, yet respectful, and he does well in halter and with his hooves He’ll continue his learning as he grows.
His castration was delayed a bit due to the suspected hernia and the need for surgery in the clinic, just in case. Thankfully, surgery went well, and no hernia was found.
So, Billy is finally available adoption.
He is current with vaccines, deworming and hoof care. He has a microchip in place. Until he’s adopted, he’ll continue entertaining the volunteers at AAE…
and hangin’ out with Grammy Sierra.
His new person will be experienced raising a young horse.
Luna was also an orphan, a filly from the Virginia Range. She’s about three weeks younger than Billy (DOB around March 21, 2018). She spent her first few months at AAE, getting lots of love and attention from volunteers and it didn’t take long before she was another volunteer favorite.
This lil’ gal is such a gorgeous girl. Looking forward to a bright future for her and following her progress!
