It’s AAE story-time!  Horses of 2018: 

Quinn and Blaze

Quinn & Blaze came to AAE when their family was preparing to downsize. Fortunately, Quinn and Blaze’s family were planning ahead, and when space became available, AAE was able to help, which is often not the case.  Quinn and Blaze were in good condition when they arrived.
Quinn was a very fancy 23-year-old half Arab (registered) and half Saddlebred mare. She had a mild injury to her front right leg but, was lightly ridable in the past. Quinn was a sweet ol’ girl that tended to be higher energy and a bit impatient. She was trained English and Western in the distant past, and she spent time in the arena and on trails.  However, she had not been ridden for about 5 years.  Back in the day, Quinn was forward on trail and loved to go!  Quinn was a bit more complicated and needed an experienced person.
Not long after arrival, Quinn’s teeth were floated and hooves were trimmed.  She was dewormed and vaccines were updated.  She was also evaluated by our vet and okayed for light riding.  Quinn was on the lean side and not gaining weight, and she had some hock sores that were not healing.  Subsequent blood work showed she was positive for Cushing’s, and she was started on daily medication.
Blaze was a very handsome 21-ish year old (~1996) Arabian gelding.  Blaze had no formal training, but he was used as an occasional trail horse.  He hadn’t been ridden for about 5 years.  Shortly before coming to AAE, he suffered a mild bout of laminitis.
 
Not long after arrival, Blaze’s teeth were also floated, and hooves were trimmed.  He was dewormed, and vaccines were updated.   Blaze’s hooves had much improved, and he was doing very well.
Quinn and Blaze had been together for several years, and they were bonded seniors.  Fortunately, the stars aligned, and they were adopted together into their forever home.  Their adopters are a horse experienced home with two young children.  They were looking forward to the companionship of horses again and what a perfect opportunity for these two!
Quinn and Blaze’s adoption took them to Paradise, CA.  In November, the Camp Fire devastated the town of Paradise.  Most homes were destroyed and the community has been displaced.  Through the darkness, there is light. We are relieved and happy to report Quinn, Blaze, and their family are safe!
Our hearts goes out to everyone that was impacted.

It’s AAE story-time!  Horses of 2018: 

Dixie, Patsy, Kitty, June and Dolly

AE welcomed this group of five girls, Dixie, Patsy, Kitty, June and Dolly, from the DreamCatcher Wild Horse and Burro Sanctuary on Feb 28, 2018.  AAE has been supporting the DreamCatcher Wild Horse and Burro Sanctuary’s recovery and herd reduction efforts since April 2017, after the long illness and passing of their Executive Director, Barbara Clarke in November of 2016.
All five of these young girls spent some time at the Monty Roberts International Learning Centerfor gentling and learning basic groundwork before arriving at AAE.  All accepted haltering on arrival, some better than others, and they all still needed considerable time building trust and confidence. Dolly, Dixie and Kitty later returned to MRILC for participation in additional courses and further development.  They were all introduced to ground driving and a saddle (no rider).  All three did quite well.
DIXIE
Dixie is a nice looking and well-built, 7-year old-ish mustang mare.  She came back the “Most Improved” of this class.  She returned a different horse, much more calm, confident, and social.  She shows steady improvement.  She halters, leads, and loads.  Handling her hooves and working with the farrier are still a work in progress.   Dixie is looking for her forever home with a mustang experienced person.  She is a dominant mare, which should be considered in her future home.  Dixie was brought current earlier this year with dental and hoof care, vaccines and deworming, and she has a microchip in place.
 
KITTY
Kitty is a cute, little, 6-year old-ish shy, somewhat passive mustang mare.  She halters, lead, and loads, and she is good with her hooves and farrier.  She still needs confidence, but she’s improving along the way.  She has been easily pushed around by other horses, but she is finding her place, but really just wants to just be.  Kitty is looking for her forever home with a person with mustang experience.  Kitty was brought current earlier this year with dental and hoof care, vaccines and deworming,
and she has a microchip in place.
 
DOLLY
Dolly is a sweet, gentle 2-3 year old mustang filly.  She returned from MRILC all the better.  She is confident, calm, and social.  She is soft, kind, and willing, with a growing curiosity that needs to be nurtured so this girl can shine. Dolly is on the lower end of the hierarchy in herd dynamics.  Dolly was brought current earlier this year with dental and hoof care, vaccines and deworming, and she has a microchip in place.
Dolly has an adoption pending!!
PATSY
Patsy is a curious, but somewhat shy 3-4 year old mustang filly.  She has a dominant tenancy in the herd.  She is building confidence, but needs more trust building.  She has an inquisitive mind, and wants to please.  Patsy needs a patient person to nurture her curiosity and confidence.  She halters, leads, and loads, but handling her hooves and farrier are still a work in progress. Patsy was brought current earlier this year with dental and hoof care, vaccines and deworming, and she has a microchip in place.
Patsy has an adoption pending!!
These girls have all shown steady progress, and all will benefit from more
consistent and daily handling.  The right homes for Dixie and Kitty will be with individuals with mustang experience; patient persons willing to commit the time and consistent efforts to bring their sweet girl along
JUNE
June’s story is a little different.  June is a 5-year old-ish mustang mare.  Not long after arrival earlier this year, little June’s belly suddenly ballooned in a matter of days.  She delivered her colt, Johnny, on April 20, 2018.  She had a difficult delivery, but thankfully, she and Johnny had a good vet.  June got some down time to settle in at AAE and enjoy her lil’ guy.  June was the most mellow and willing of the group.  She is a sweet, gentle mare that is on the lower end of the hierarchy in the herd environment; though recently, that seems to be changing.  Her confidence is growing!  She is soft and kind, while a little aloof. June has low fetlocks and should not be considered for more than a light riding prospect, at best. She halters, leads, and loads, but handling her hooves and farrier are still a work in progress.

June was brought current earlier this year with vaccines, deworming, and hoof and dental care, and she has a microchip in place. Her hooves are still a work in progress, but she did fairly well with the farrier for her two trims.  June is looking for a mustang experienced home; someone with patience to give her the time and leadership she needs!
JOHNNY
As soon as he was ready, Little Johnny was gelded, and adopted shortly after to a wonderful home where he’s buddy to a filly his same age.
This pic was him hanging out with Uncle Blue, not too long before adoption.
Do you have room for a horse in need of a home??
If you are not able to adopt, but want to help support one of these sweet girls until they move on to their forever home, consider sponsoring.

It’s AAE story-time!  Horses of 2018: 

Amigo, Rudy and Gunner

Your support in 2018 probably had the biggest impact in the lives of our next intake group: Amigo, Rudy, and Gunner. These three boys came to AAE in mid-January 2018 from a neglect situation.  Amigo and Rudy were in very poor condition. Fortunately, Gunner was in pretty good condition.  This is a long one, enjoy!

AMIGO

Amigo weighed about 850 pounds upon arrival.  As thin as he looked in photos, he was much thinner.  His coat was thick with dead undercoat that felt like a wool rug draped over his bony skeleton beneath.  He was also covered with hundreds of ticks that took days to remove.
We were told he’s 29. We were told he was a riding horse, but bucks after a couple hours (at his age, I’m sure he’s saying, enough already!). Other than that, the rest is a mystery.
   
Thankfully, Amigo’s vet check went surprisingly well, and he was started on a slow refeeding program consistent with UC Davis’ protocol for rehabilitating starved horses.  After about a week at AAE, he had what turned out to be a minor bout of colic; when he went down, we didn’t think he would get up.  This pic is worth 1,000 words.
Fortunately, the docs were heroic that night, and he rallied! He battled through it like the survivor he is, and has been great ever since!
Though emaciated and starving, it was plain as day this ol’ guy had a heart of gold.  His journey to recovery was a slow one, but he made steady progress, day after day.
He craved attention and simply enjoyed being in the presence of humans.  He would munch on food with his skinny head peaking out of his stall, bright-eyed with a big ol’ smile on his face. “Hey, come gimme some lovin'”
Amigo is such a great reminder of how fragile yet resilient horses are. He holds no grudges for humans, even though he wasn’t treated so kind. Once he gained some weight and stabilize, his teeth were floated, hooves were trimmed, and vaccines were updated and he was dewormed.  He was slowly coming back to health.
Amigo has returned to good health, and he’s in great condition for 29-something. There could not be a more sweet, kind, lovable old fella!  This guy is an absolute gem, and a volunteer favorite.  We LOVE this ol’ guy and everything about him.
Amigo is such an ambassador for horses with new volunteers. He’s just a big love! He couldn’t be more easy to handle. He is patient, he’s kind, and he’s one of the most dependable horses at AAE. At 29, this ol’ guy can call AAE home, his last stop.

Amigo needs a sponsor.

RUDY

Rudy has a story, too. Though he wasn’t in quite as bad of shape as Amigo, he was in sad shape. We were told he was about 23 years old, and had been ridden quite a bit. He had been used for barrel racing.  Beyond that, little is known about his past.
Rudy weighed only about 875 pounds when he arrived.  He was also covered with ticks, but not as heavily as Amigo.
His teeth were in bad shape, too. His hooves hadn’t been cared for in quite some time, and heal had deep heal cracks with open sores in all four. Rudy was simply “empty”.
Rudy was started on a slow refeeding program consistent with UC Davis’ protocol for rehabilitating starved horses.  His teeth had also been neglected, but he was given time to stabilize and gain a bit of weight.
Though emaciated and starving, Rudy was a really kind guy, but his focus was on his next meal.  He seemed to enjoy attention, but he was indifferent at times, especially if there was food in his proximity.

He’s had regular farrier work, but his heel cracks persist. He had much needed dental work, he’s been dewormed, and his vaccines were updated.

Rudy has been saddled and ridden lightly. He’s soft and willing under saddle, but his hooves are still an issue. They are making slow improvement, but need more time.
This ‘ol guy is another sweet ‘ol soul and handsome as ever.

GUNNER

Gunner looked pretty much like a normal horses. It was hard to believe he had been living with Amigo and Rudy. We were told Gunner was about 19 years old, and he had been started under saddle, but never finished.
Gunner had some trust issues and it took a bit to earn his trust.  He was evasive for haltering, though led fairly well. This guy needed more confidence; and he seemed so vulnerable with leg and hoof handling, His teeth were floated, hooves trimmed, and vaccines updated.
Gunner, is a shy guy that appears to have been mis-handled at some point in life.  He is halterable, curious, gentle, and willing.  Gunner has made consistent progress, and he’s become more much more willing to interact with humans.   He’s starting to seek attention. He’s softened considerably, and so far, we haven’t identified any major issues.
Gunner is temporarily fostered with one of AAE’s adopters so we could help a couple more horses this winter.  He has been hanging out with cows, and recently, he showed his gentler, nurturing side when he nuzzled up with a newborn calf.  How sweet is that!
This handsome guy is looking for a home with experience with horses with trust issues.  He’s healthy, willing, and seems to have some good years for someone willing to give him the time he needs to trust and flourish. Gunner is up to date with vaccines, deworming, and hoof and dental care.

It’s AAE story-time!  Horses of 2018: 

Dia and Noche

Dia came to AAE with her buddy Noche on January 14, 2018.  Her owner lived alone and was experiencing a major health issue.  She was unable manage the physical requirements of caring for her two horses.  These two girls were delivered to AAE by a friend, and they unloaded from the trailer like it was just another day.  Ho hum!
Noche appeared to be in good health.  She was a 20 year old Quarter Horse/Paso Fino mare in good condition, and very easy to handle.  She was about 13.2 hh, and we just loved her lil’ legs!! She was scheduled for updating dental, vaccines, and farrier.  She was a gem, soooo good with the vet and farrier, and she loved grooming and attention.  Noche was going to make someone a fabulous pony.
Dia was a super cute little (~14.0 hh), 21 year old Arabian mare.  She had a history of showing successfully in halter, and her easy going temperament occasionally allowed someone to hop on and head down the trail, even though she had no formal training.  Her prior owner indicated she had not been ridden a lot, but she took it all in stride and did quite well.  She also said she could benefit from some chiropractic work, and might be suitable for light riding. Dia was on the thin side, but it might have been because lil’ Noche was tubby Noche.

Dia’s was also vet checked and her dental, vaccines and hoof care were updated.  Her vet check went pretty well.  She had multiple melanomas under, around, and on her tail and a few in other areas. Did I say multiple?  I meant a lot!  They’re often not a problem, but she had two around her rectal area that needed to be removed.  One was ulcerated and painful, and flies would be a big nuisance if left alone.  The other was internal, on or near her anal sphincter, and it was golf ball sized.  It was pushing her rectum to the side.  If not removed, it would likely continue to grow and push more into the rectum and block the passage of manure.  Dia also had a melanoma in the corner of her mouth on the left side.  This one was removed so she could comfortably wear a bit, should she be ridden with a bit in the future.  Last, but not least, she had a large melanoma on her hip area.  It was raised and in an area where it would be easy to catch on gates or other things she brushed against, an injury ready to happen.  Though it wasn’t ulcerated or otherwise an issue, it made sense to remove when the others were removed.  The melanomas were removed and she recovered nicely, thought he hip area was deep and healing would take time.  Dia was easy to handle; she was good with the farrier; and she also enjoy grooming and attention.

Dentals done, vaccines updated, hoof care completed, deworming done, ready for adoption.  Fortunately, Noche and Dia came at just the right time; they were perfect for an adopter waiting for a couple nice horses that could be grand-baby ponies!  They are now with their forever family, and they have little girls of their own.

It’s AAE story-time!  Horses of 2018: 

Gentry and Foley

AAE welcomed Gentry, a pretty young mare, and Foley, her little “red” colt from the DreamCatcher Wild Horse and Burro Sanctuary in September 2017. AAE has been supporting the DreamCatcher Wild Horse and Burro Sanctuary’s recovery and herd reduction efforts since April 2017. DreamCatcher has been in a recovery period after the long illness and passing of their Executive Director, Barbara Clarke in November of 2016.
What a cute “little” pair they were.  Gentry was an attentive mom, but also a kid herself.  When they arrived, young Foley seemed a bit lethargic and small for his age, but mom was small, too. They were vet checked shortly after arrival, and no issues found.
After a few weeks at AAE, Foley’s energy level increased, and he was finally running and bucking through his paddock, like baby boys do.  That being said, he was still a super calm, easy-going gentleman for such a young squirt.  Gentry had only recently been introduced to humans when she arrived, so she was a bit shy and unsure about the new humans that were caring for her.
She learned quickly that humans were not so scary, and she knew they were the ones with the good stuff.  She always waited patiently at feeding time. Thankfully, she learned good manners early on.  Her dental exam indicated she was only about 2-1/2 years old.  A baby with a baby, but she was such a good mama.
It was easy to see Gentry and Foley quickly become lovely young horses.  Gentry found her forever home in January 2018, and she is on a path to becoming a wonderful lil’ riding partner.
Of course, there was trouble in paradise!  At the vet exam, we discovered Foley had an undescended testicle (crypt orchid), and it wasn’t going to be a simple process to make him an adoptable gelding.  He had to have a more complicated surgery in the hospital in sterile conditions in case his little “gem” was up in his abdomen.  We decided to wait a few months to see if gravity would take it’s course and encourage the little gem to drop.  Unfortunately, no such luck.  Foley was castrated in the hospital, and he has been waiting for his forever home since he recovered.
This little guy is one of the nicest, sweetest, respectful most of the time little gents, and we can’t believe he is STILL here.  Any experienced horse peeps out there looking for a super fun, straight forward little project pony will not be disappointed!  He is handsome and well built to boot.  He stands about 13.0 hh.
Foley halters and leads easily, he enjoys grooming and attention, he is good with his hooves, and he stands fairly quietly for the farrier.  Foley is a handsome, level-headed youngster, and he is a very social, “meet you at the gate” kind of guy.  He is a quick learner that is eager to please and a quick learner. Foley stands about 13.0 hh, and he will likely mature to a pony-sized, 13.2 to 14.0hh. Mom was about 14.0 hh.  Foley is ready for his new home.  He is an uncomplicated guy with a clean slate.
Might you be his Christmas gift of a forever home??  
Foley is up to date w/vaccines, deworming, and hoof care.  His DNA show results included Turkoman, Mangalarga Marchador and Icelandic Horse, and he has a microchip in place.
Foley needs a sponsor.

It’s AAE story-time!  Horses of 2018: 

 

Sandi

Sandi came to AAE on January 7, 2018, after her family was experiencing a family health and financial crisis.  Sandi was a 5 year old Arabian mare that had some training but was considered a green horse.
We picked Sandi up from her boarding facility in the midst of winter stormy weather.  The facility owner said she had been moved to the round pen because she ran right through electric fencing, “very hot” electric fencing.  Sadly, we found this very cute, but skinny lil’ mare enduring the winter elements with no shelter, no wind break, and no food.  We can’t help but wonder if she was in the round pen because her owner was months behind in rent, or maybe she braved the “hot” fence because she was cold and needed food. Sandi loaded quietly, but she didn’t travel well.  She danced around in the trailer the entire ride to AAE, and graceful she was not.
Once at AAE, she had a difficult time settling into a paddock, alone.  She paced the fence lines creating ditches along her path, but with a little time and some rearranging, she calmed some and focused on food. Thankfully, her vet check went well fairly well.  Besides her lack of weight, she had a few melanomas under/around her tail, not uncommon for white (gray) horses.  Fortunately, none were creating any issues that required removal.  Sandi’s teeth were floated.  She had two large wolf teeth; no wonder her prior owner said she was unmanageable with a bit in her mouth.  Her hooves were trimmed and maintained, and she was dewormed and brought up to date with vaccines.
She made steady progress and began looking so beautiful.  She was a bit naughty for the farrier.  She needed some extra work with handling her hind hooves, and she needed a bit of confidence.  Sandi tended to rely on another horse for confidence, and she got very stressed and reactive when no other horse was around.  We worked on building her confidence before we asked much more of her.  Before long, she had gained weight, her coat grew in, and she looked like a princess horse.  Her confidence grew, and her stress diminished.  Next thing we knew, she started to glow.
Her forever person came to meet her and fell in love.  Sandi was adopted, and she is now a trail horse and partner to her best friend.
Sandi had a second chance because of you!

It’s AAE story-time!  Horses of 2018: 

RED

Red is an incredibly handsome 9 year old-ish grade gelding that initially came to AAE from another rescue situation after spending several months at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center (MRILC).  Red participated as a project horse for students during MRILC courses.  He was feral with limited human interaction when he arrived at MRILC, and it took tremendous time and effort overcoming fear and accepting humans.  He was socialized, learned basic groundwork and long-lining, and
he was introduced to a saddle (no rider).
Red was adopted by a youth adopter and family in Fall of 2016, but due to the realities of work and finances that come with adulthood, his young adopter was unable to continue to meet Red’s needs.  Red continued building trust and learning about saddle work, even carrying a rider a few times.
Red returned to AAE the beginning of January 2018.  His vet care was updated including floating teeth, vaccines, and deworming.  Not long after returning to AAE, Red suffered a pasture injury.  Veterinary exam indicated he ruptured his peroneus tertius tendon.  This usually happens when the hock is hyperextended, likely in a quick turn or change of direction.  Thankfully, it was a soft tissue injury, and not the ghastly fracture it appeared to be.  Red has been on stall rest the bulk of the year in hopes the tendon will heal.  Studies show a good percentage of horses recover to the same level of exercise, so we’re hoping for the best.  So far, he is recovering nicely, but still has another month or two before re-evaluation.
Red is a super kind and willing guy, but still has considerable difficulty accepting human interaction and trusting that no harm will come to him.  First contact with him is like 50 first dates.  Once he’s been touched, he is relatively easy to halter, and he seems to enjoy grooming.  Red does best with a very calm, confident, and patient person experienced with trust-building in feral/wild horses to help him achieve his potential.  For now, until he has completed stall rest, and we can resume working with him, his status will remain “In-Rehab”.  He’ll be re-evaluated for adoption as we move forward.
Your support helps horses like Red stay safe with AAE while they recover from injury and get the veterinary care they need.  Sadly, we hear of so many horses that are euthanized due to injuries and owners that have no interest in giving them the time needed to heal.

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

Horses need you!

Another angel among us….

, , , 0

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:

Another AAE angel earned his wings last night.  Well, if horses could be angels and saints, Marshy-man was as an absolute angel, and an absolute saint.  There was a glow about this little guy, and if you ever met him, pretty sure you would know what I mean.

If you haven’t heard his story, Marshy came to AAE from another rescue back in March of 2014, but it seems he’s been here forever.  He was quite ill.  They didn’t have the ability help him and asked for help.  After considerable evaluation, diagnostics, and re-evaluating, the conclusion was that he likely had some form of intestinal cancer or irritable bowel disease.  He was started on steroids and showed steady improvement.

Marshy quickly became a favorite at AAE.  He introduced kids to horses in summer camps and pony pals programs.
He loved kids, and he loved adults just the same.
Marshy was the dress-up master.  He loved helping celebrate holidays, and he did it well.
Steroids can be wonder drugs, but unfortunately, they come with many risks.  Sadly, in 2016, Marshy experienced an acute onset of cataracts in both eyes. Suddenly, he couldn’t see.  However, thanks to all of Marshy’s friends, your kindness made such a difference for him.  He got the gift of site (cataract surgery in one eye).
You are the cutest, the most handsome, the funniest, the sweetest, the lovey-est, the one there aren’t enough words to describe!
You made princesses smile and
 fairy tales come true.
Marshy, wish we could all have
one more day to love you more.
Enjoy running ‘cross those green pastures….
…and jumping fences along the way,
forever pain free, lil man.

Every time I look in that mirror, I’ll think of you, lil’ man.  Loved you the mostest, mighty Moo!
Remembering you, always Marshy,
all of you’re friends at AAE and everywhere.

There’s a new angel….

There’s a new angel, his name is…

Yesterday was a somber day at AAE, to say the least.  We said our last goodbye to one of the greatest ol’ guys that ever graced the barn at AAE.  Kasey was one of the most kind, gentle, brave, and stoic souls you could ever know.
Sadly, he reminded us how quickly things can change.  This past year was a long one as we battled an enormous hoof abscess.  He was winning!  Though the abscess invaded a huge amount of his hoof, he remained comfortable and sound once the abscess broke through his coronary band.  Unfortunately, the integrity of his hoof was compromised. Enormous shoes to support his enormous weight and a hospital plate did the trick, until recently.
He was sound one day, and very uncomfortable the next.  Initially thinking another recurrence, we tried pain meds, but even at a high dose, we couldn’t manage the pain.  New radiographs showed his coffin bone had rotated severely.
Now, we hope you’re dancing in Heaven, pain free.
Kasey was so handsome and regal…
…and he was truly a big goofball.  He thoroughly entertained us playing right along with all of our antics and dress up games for the holidays.
He was a man of all seasons…
He defined “gentle giant” and calmed the fears of so many people, and he loved attention and royal treatment.
He lost his buddy, Angus last year. Angus lost some of his vision, and Kasey became his sight.

They were two peas in pod.

When Angus was gone, a new gal came a knockin’.  They met…and I wouldn’t say it was “love at first sight”, but they ended up gettin’ hitched.  It was a really formal affair.
His hoof care management was an enormous task, as you might imagine.  Kasey and everyone at AAE is forever grateful for the love and dedication of his pal, Michelle.  She was diligent in caring for his hoof….picking, flushing, wrapping, rewrapping, and making sure he got everything he needed.
Kase…as you and Angus, together again, are running over those green pastures, remember how much everyone loved you!
Be sure to check back with us now and then, there’s always a place for you here in the barn.
We all want one more hug, big guy.
Love ya’ and miss ya forever, all of you’re friends at AAE

Remember Beau? Do you Relish?

, , , , 0

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:

We are exploring interest in participating in the Veteran’s Day Parade in Auburn on Saturday, November 10, 2018.

If AAE participates in support of our Veteran’s, who would like to join us?

Please email wendy@allaboutequine.org with a head count.

Remember Beau??

Beau is an elder Arabian gent about 28, and he came to AAE after his elder owner could no longer provide care, and his family caregiver was relocating out of state.  Beau had been with his family almost all of his life.  He was much loved, but his family may not have understood the need for continued dental care, even when horses are old and have only a few teeth.  We know they only wanted to best for him and we are glad we were able to help. With so many horses in need, that is not always the case.
After much needed dental, hoof care, sheath cleaning, vaccines, deworming, and a lot of love from volunteers, look at him now….

Beau is at the tail end of his refeeding program, and he is available for adoption.  Beau is a lovely ol’ guy.  He loves attention and really enjoys a long grooming session.  He was ridden a lot in his younger days.  His last riding relationship was a couple years ago with a 12 year old girl in a lease situation.  We were told it was a great relationship, but not much more about his girl’s experience or what activities they did, only that he rode very well for his age.
In his younger years, Beau was part of a three horse team that rode across the US on the Pony Express Trail.  He rode about 800 of the 2000 miles.  About seven years ago, he had a bout of laminitis/founder, but thankfully, he recovered very well. Dr. Stolba provided care for this guy back then, but unfortunately, she hadn’t seen him for about three years when he arrived at AAE.  He didn’t appear to have been trimmed in a while, but updated radiographs showed no obvious changes in his hooves since his episode seven years ago.  He was a tad tender footed with thin soles, so we had shoes placed on his fronts for now.
Beau is current with vaccines, deworming, and hoof and dental care. He has very good ground manners, he ties and stands for the farrier.  With a long history of riding, he should load and trailer fine, but hasn’t yet been tested since he arrived.  He was tested for Cushing’s and results were negative.  Because he has only a few teeth left, he needs a strictly pelleted diet and with feed that is appropriate for a horse that has foundered.  His future housing should not be in a green, grassy pasture.
Beau is looking for a new home where he will be doted on and pampered like the good ol’ guy that he is.  He might have some light riding in his future, but priority should be a solid companion home, and the riding should be a bonus (not a requirement).  Beau should NOT be an only horse. During his time with AAE, he has bonded tightly to his buddies, at least a couple other horses might be best.  He gets anxious when he is in his paddocks and his buddies leave, are taken out/away or wander away from him.  He does fine when he is taken out and away from his paddock.
Interested in giving this gorgeous guy a soft landing in a forever home to live out his years?  For more info about our adoption process, please visit our website or
send us an email.

AAE support of DreamCatcher herd reduction efforts:
During 2017 and 2018, AAE has supported the herd reduction efforts of DreamCatcher Wild Horse and Burro Sanctuary after the long illness and passing of their Executive Director, Barbara Clarke in November of 2016.  Though preservation of genetic lines were part of DC’s mission, none of the boys were castrated, the horses lived in a free range environment, and overpopulation became an issue.  In May and July 2017, with a new director in place, over 90 colts and stallions were gelded.  Though tremendous efforts were made to keep mares and stallions separate, sadly, some mares were impregnated for 2018 foals.
For AAE, it all started with an orphan foal, that little Rascal, in April 2017! We continued to support and adopt.  We had another orphan colt, Cowboy, arrive in May, and June brought three young geldings, Waylon, Whitley and Walker.  Then came the first three burros, followed by Ford, Gentry and her colt, Foley.  Two more burros topped off the year.
The following horses/burros were ADOPTED in 2017 and 2018:

 
COWBOY
 
     
WAYLON, WHITLEY, & WALKER
 
 

 

BURRO ZAC, 
BURRO ZAC, & 
BURRO JOE
 

 

BURRO BROWN &
BURRO GRAY

GENTRY &
FORD (ADOPTION PENDING)
 
The new year brought five young girls the end of February:  June, Kitty, Dixie, Dolly, and Patsy.  An unexpected delivery the beginning of March brought mom, Martina, and wee little filly, Valentine.  More babies and more urgency to get them out of the winter weather brought Tegan and colt, Austin, Gypsy and filly, Calico Girl, and Kelsea and days old colt, Rucker.
Unexpectedly, we learned June was pregnant, and along came Johnny in April.  One more call for help came in early May when travel plans were complicated by a mom that wouldn’t let little one nurse.  Tae and days old filly, Maddie, came and thankfully worked through their challenges.  That filled our barn and paddocks for most of the year, and we are happy to be able to support DC’s efforts.
 
Because of your support, AAE has been able to continue to support horses in need. 
The following horses are (or will soon be) AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION.  Click their name to visit their page for more information.
 

 
Interested in any of these horses?  Click on their name to visit their pages or visit our horse page, and you can learn more about our adoption process here.
If you can’t adopt, SPONSOR a horse and
help support AAE’s efforts while homes are found.
There are many more older mustangs at DreamCatcher that are in need of soft landings at sanctuary-type homes, ideally keeping family bands together.  Do you have space where older mustangs can live out their lives??   If so, contact us or visit the DreamCatcher website:http://www.dreamcatcherhorsesanctuary.org/

An Adoption Story: Cahill and Maya

Maya came to AAE when her owner was facing a terminal health condition and would no longer be able to care for Maya or work with her.  Maya was initially rescued by her former owner from an extreme neglect and abuse case, and one of her former owner’s priorities was assuring Maya would never have to face abuse again.  She knew AAE would work to find a safe and loving home.
Maya was transferred to AAE at the end of September 2016.  She unloaded from the trailer after a marathon haul from near the Oregon border, and she was a tad lame.  Maya had some challenging trust issues and physical limitations resulting from a past hip injury from her abuser.  She also had DSLD, further limiting her adoption potential.
While at AAE, she was given time and space to settle in.  She was showered with love and kindness by her many special volunteer friends, and she was housed on flat ground to minimize the stress on her body.  Thankfully, her old hip injury and DSLD maintained very well, and she never showed any discomfort.  With the help of her special friends at AAE, Maya learned that humans weren’t all bad.  She started to really enjoy grooming and all the pampering showered upon her.
  
Cahill came to AAE in March 2018 when his family was unable to provide the care he needed.  He had also been rescued from a previous neglect situation where he had been living alone in a pasture and not cared for for years. The family that rescued him was told he was a former sheriff’s horse.   He was emaciated and in poor condition when they offered to take him in.  They tried to provide the care he needed, but they were unable to help him. They had a family crisis of their own.  They reached out to AAE and asked for help.
When Cahill arrived at AAE, he was very thin.  He also had substantial skin issues, a thick coat that helped hide his bones.  He needed dental work, and he was very depressed.  After starting him on a refeeding program and his vet evaluation, he had a much needed spa-day.  He had caked on dirt on his limbs, and he was given a medicated bath.  He enjoyed the water and the relief that seemed to come from treating his skin and getting rid of all the dry, caked on dirt.  There was hope in his eyes.
Cahill began to improve and put on much needed weight.  His skin cleared, but not before he lost nearly every ounce of hair on his body.  His head and trunk were practically bald in the cold of winter, but he was grateful for blankets and the hair that remained on his legs.  His eyes brightened, and he started acting with more interest in the horses and world around him.  He enjoyed his daily luvin’ from his volunteers, and day by day, he evolved into such a good ol’ boy.
 
We are happy to share that our long-timer, Maya, and our short-timer, Cahill, recently found their “golden pond” with their dream family in Nevada City.  When Maya met her new mom, it was obvious they were both experiencing a “love at first sight” moment.  Maya is not one to approach just anyone, but when she met her mom, there was no hesitation.  She walked up to her and there was instant pleasure in their exchange.  Cahill, on the other hand, took it all in and drew mom AND dad in as he relished in their attention.
These two lucky souls got their soft landing in the perfect forever home where they are lavished with daily love and attention, and in return, their new mom and dad are say their lives have been so enriched by these two, and they have been fulfilled in being able to make such a big difference in the lives of Maya and Cahill.
It’s so gratifying to see the transitions horses make when they’re given the love and care they need, not only the physical transition, but the new hope they share with humans. They hold no grudges, and they become such a reminder of foregiveness, resilience, and unconditional living.  Rescue horses are such a gift.
Thank YOU for supporting AAE and making possible happy endings for horses like Maya and Cahill!!

Featured Intake: Beau

Beau came to AAE in mid-July when his aging owner was no longer able to care for him, and his caretaker was moving out of state.  Beau is a 28 year old Arabian gelding.  He was a truly beloved companion to the family, he had been with them his entire life, and he had carried many a rider on his back.  Still, his condition was saddening.
It was a bit eye-opening when Beau arrived.  He was a bit on the emaciated side, and he was “empty”.  Dr Stolba came to check him out and drew blood to evaluate his “systems”. His diet had been four scoops of senior pellets (AM and PM), about 20-25 pounds a day. You would think plenty for this lil guy, right? You could tell immediately simply eating was a challenge.  He chewed very gingerly, and food fell all over around the trough.
Sadly, when Dr. Stolba opened his mouth, the exasperated sigh was palpable.  Beau did not have many teeth, but the ones he had were much overgrown, some loose and one so long it was pressing into the roof of his mouth causing an ulcer.  He could not close his mouth to chew.  It’s no wonder the poor ol’ guy looked like he did; he couldn’t eat. Four larger teeth were extracted, one so sharp it could cut paper.  The few remaining teeth were floated, and he was finally able to eat comfortably. Boy, did he enjoy it.  Now it seems he’s eating for two.
Moving on to the end, Beau sheath got some much needed attention, and he was beyond relief when a rock sized bean was removed. It didn’t take long to see the brightness return to Beau’s eyes and a little pep in his step. For now, Beau is doing very well, and he is slowly redeveloping his svelte lil’ bod!
