Remember AmazonSmile when you shop!
With every purchase, AmazonSmile donates to All About Equine Animal Rescue, Inc. at no cost to you!
It’s been a busy year and you’ve made this world a better place for some lucky horses.
Join us as we share 31 stories that show how you helped horses in 2019.
We hope you enjoy these stories as we count down to 2020!
Your support this month will help us prepare for another year of helping horses by
funding our veterinary budget for 2020.
We can not do this without you!
Thank you all for your support!
TAYLOR
Taylor is a recent intake.
Taylor was rescued from a kill pen (by a private party) in July and taken to a board/care facility.
Her rescuer never returned. She never paid for her board/care.
Taylor is an older TB mare (20-ish), about 15.1 hh, and an absolute sweetheart.
Hoof and dental care were long neglected, though hooves looked ok from the outside.
She had her first trim after arrival, and she had an abundance of overgrown sole and bar removed.
Taylor has some major dental issues, too. She is scheduled for dental care soon.
Taylor has been vaccinated and dewormed. She’ll get a microchip with dental.
Taylor’s care and evaluation will continue until she is ready for adoption.
Your support made it possible for AAE to help Taylor on her way to finding a soft landing.
Donations, volunteering, likes, shares, referrals, we appreciate them all.
If you are enjoying our stories, please consider making a year end donation to assure we have funding in place to continue the work we do and have similar stories to share in 2020.
We always look forward to updates from our adopters.
If you’ve adopted an AAE horse and we haven’t been in touch lately,
please drop us a line and let us know how things are going.
We love to share your updates!
Are you looking for your next equine partner?

BOOTS & BLING 2020
We have kicked off our Boots & Bling planning for 2020.
The event has included a catered BBQ Dinner, DJ Music and Dancing, Live/Silent/Dessert auctions,
a special fundraiser, and line dancing with instruction.
We need help in most areas for planning for this event to make sure its a huge success for AAE and our horses.
Please email us if you are interested in helping with Boots & Bling.
We meet once a month until the event.
SPECIAL PROJECTS AROUND THE BARN
Maybe you’d like to help around the barn, but don’t want to work directly with the horses, or you don’t like to muck?
We could use some help cleaning and organizing, whether it’s the feed room, the meds room, the office, the tools, groundskeeping, painting shelters, monitoring the fencelines, tree trimming, coordinating vehicle maintenance, or a zillion other things.
There’s so much that needs to be done, and
we could use some extra hands to help keep things looking nicer and more clean.
