It’s Here! It’s Here! #GivingTuesday!
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:
Today we put Thanks and Giving together for this global movement! This global day of giving is designed to give back to our communities and help those around us! Be the change you want to see in the world and help make a difference for the horses at AAE! We hope you can join us . This year our goal is $5000. This will help support the veterinary costs we incur for our horses throughout the year.
With your support, horses like Rudy get a second chance .
Next to feed and supplement costs,
AAE’s biggest annual expense is veterinary care.
Your support helps provide needed veterinary care to assure the horses we take in are on a path to good health, and each horse’s health is understood.
Johnny’s are welcomed to the world.
Your support assures the horses at AAE are properly evaluated, receive appropriate care and treatment of health issues, and are properly addressed and/or maintained throughout the year. This assures all suspect health issues are characterized appropriately and considered prior to adoption.
Your support meant a new life for Sandi
Proper maintenance means providing annual vaccines, annual dental exams and floating/treatment, as needed (some more than once a year), hoof care about every eight weeks, and rotational deworming, usually every two to three months. Additionally, all horses taken in at AAE are now microchipped, and DNA testing completed.
You can help assure horses like Rascal have a chance a life
So far this year, your support has ensured:
- 34 horses in need have been helped
- 17 have found forever homes
- 8 foals became weanlings looking for forever homes
- as many as 54 horses have been fed and cared for during the year
- hoof care, $50 per trim
- over 50 horses have been vaccinated – nearly $100 a set
-
nearly 60 dentals have been completed with additional exams – dental costs ranging from $100-$272
- 15 geldings had sheath cleanings during while sedated (after dentals) – add $58
- five colts were castrated – four normal procedures $190 each (plus antibiotics) and one a crypt orchid, $915
- various lab work costs through the year exceeded $4500
- emergency care, surgery, radiographs exceeded $2o,000 (e.g. colics, hospitalization, wound care, growth removals, biopsies, laminitis evaluations, medication, etc.)
AAE’s costs for veterinary care through October 2018 have been close to $45,000, not including medications, first aid supplies
and similar items stocked at the barn.
Only with your support can we continue helping horses in need. Your support will assure AAE has the funding to provide needed veterinary care to horses in need.
Give horses like Beau another chance
