Every gift makes a BIG difference for the horses!
Your gifts this Big Day of Giving will help the horses in so many ways including providing feed, veterinary care, hoof and dental care. Considering it costs, on average, between $5 and $10 per day to provide basic care to the typical horse, that adds up fast. So too can your donations!!
Your donations help assure we have ample and ongoing funding for the care for the horses. YOU are why we are able to help horses like Bonnie.
AAE welcome Bonnie from another sanctuary. Winters there are quite cold and very snowy, and as a senior mare, Bonnie had a difficult time in that climate. She came to AAE with herdmate Charlie so he could better handle the winter weather, as well.
We were told we were told Bonnie was placed in sanctuary after failing training attempts with five different trainers. That’s our Bon-Bon!!
Bonnie is truly a sweet and social mare, most of the time. Some times, she can be a really moody and opinionated gal (but can’t we all?!). For the most part, she is enjoyable to be around, really enjoys and attention, and if you’re really spoiling her, she’ll stay with you all day. Though, she will surely let you know when she doesn’t want to do something. Oral medications are one of her favorites, not! Injections? Usually not. Hoof care? Most of the time. Taking her away from her herd? Not so much. Food? Yes! Being told what to do? Never. Being asked to do something she doesn’t want to do? Not usually.
Bonnie has Cushings and gets daily medication (pill). She used to like it in a carrot pocket, but she got wise to that. We get creative. She also had a substantial fly allergy before life in Pilot Hill, but 2022 was a good summer for her. She’d get very itchy and rub everything she could find. If it wasn’t the flies, she’d rub off her fly sheets. She hated the full body armor, it was gone in a day. (Special order, took longer to get here than it took for her to shred it.). It was hard to keep her comfortable in the hot summer, but maybe we’re headed in the right direction. We have repeatedly tried fly sheets and masks, but she’s just a little rough on them. Fly spray, war paint, and swat all help, but they need to be applied regularly (once to twice a day) during fly season.
Bonnie is all mare. She’s dominant around food, and she’s bossy in a herd. She usually connects well with one or two other horses.
Bonnie is available for adoption as a non-riding companion. She would benefit from a friend or two that would put up with her bossy side. Because of her fly sensitivity, a cooler climate (but not too cold) would be ideal for her.
If Bonnie sounds like your gal, please visit her page and submit an Adoption Inquiry.
Bonnie is grateful for the opportunity for a better life! She wants to pay it forward by asking you to help us meet our Big Day of Giving goal and help other horses like her.
Thank you for your support helping horses each and every day!
Your donations, volunteering, adopting, and social media shares & likes allow us to make this work possible!
