It’s that time at the end of the year when we reflect upon the horses (and other animals) you have helped over the past 12 months. We are filled with so much gratitude for your support, because this is what makes rescuing and caring for horses-in-need possible. Every horse represents the combined efforts of our community – volunteers, donors, and supporters who believe in the power of second chances.
As is tradition in December, each day this month, we share stories from the past year that are the direct result of you and your dedication to horses-in-need. Thank you for being such an incredible horse warrior and fighting for horses who need another chance. We hope you enjoy! Happy Holidays to all!
ADOPTABLES
We have one last wish for 2024, it’s for all of our family-less furry friends to find their new family in 2025. These horses and pups all need a new home for the new year!

JETTA
Jetta has many stories. With AAE, it starts back in March 2015 when we had an opening for a learning opportunity at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center due to an adoption that left us short a horse. We networked with another rescue, and Jetta came to AAE. Jetta had been part of a large neglect case, and she had not been at the other rescue too long. Shortly after arriving at AAE, we made the journey south. A week or so later, we got a bit of a shocking call. Jetta looked as if she was getting ready to deliver a foal. We made another trip south and got her back to a cushy stall. Within about two weeks, she delivered the most handsome colt! He was gorgeous!
Willie was perfect in every way! It wasn’t six months later, and Jetta and Willie were adopted together. Several months later (after weaning), we got a call asking for help picking up Jetta from a trainer. Jetta had been sent to a trainer a few months prior to start under saddle. Said trainer wasn’t responding adequately to calls and questions. Sadly, the “trainer” was anything but a trainer. We arrived, and we couldn’t believe our eyes. Poor Jetta had been starved, again, and she was worse than when she was before. “Trainer” said she was dangerous, he couldn’t catch her, she wouldn’t load in a trailer, and owners shouldn’t have such a dangerous horse. Horses*#*! The look in her eyes was empty. She was haltered, led to the trailer, and loaded, all in a few minutes. (Please, always be involved, visit your horse, and participate in training).
Back home, she was on the road to recovery, again. Flash forward, adopters divorce, house is sold, and Jetta and Willie move to a boarding facility. No idea if this was the first or the last or how many more changes were in-between, but adopter could no longer afford two horses, and Jetta recently returned to AAE. We wish Willie could have come, too. Maybe one day. Jetta is still the sweet, sweet mare we knew back in 2015. She feels empty again. Hopefully her ol’ sparkle will return to her eyes again, soon. The sadness is palpable. Ever stand by a horse and feel a knot in your throat as the tears well up in your eyes?
We’re still getting to know Jetta, again. We need more time to get to really understand where she is and what she needs. We think she’s about 18. We don’t think she ever returned to full training, though we know she had a special friend at her boarding facility that showered her with attention and continued her progress. Jetta loves attention, and she enjoys being groomed. She’s easy going, easy to halter, lead, and load. She’s fairly good with handling her hooves, but isn’t great with the farrier with her hinds, though she might have some pain issues to investigate. As the weather improves, we’ll spend more time exploring with Jetta and figure out the best path forward for her. We love this gal, and we want the best for her.
This holiday season, the horses we rescue have only one wish: a bright future. With your support, we can give them more than just shelter — we can give them hope. Join us in making their dreams come true by helping us provide the funding needed to care for and rehome these majestic creatures. Your generosity this December will help more horses find their second chance in 2025.
Your donations provide a safe, loving home for rescued horses. Your contribution will ensure that horses like Jetta find the peace and care they deserve, now and in the future. Any amount is very much appreciated, and it makes a big difference for the horses.

OLIVIA
Olivia is a 2010 Thoroughbred mare that came to AAE in October. She had some health issues that weren’t resolving, and she wasn’t getting the care she needed. Olivia seemed to be experiencing a uterine or urinary tract infection. Olivia was facing euthanasia. This sweet girl needed a chance to get well.
Earlier in her life, she was a racehorse, but her racing history wasn’t too impressive earnings-wise. She ran 22 races from 2015 to 2017, with only one win, and she won $17,540 during her career.
Olivia’s had ultrasounds, palpations, scopes, and uterine and bladder lavages, and she’s still trying to resolve her issue. Initially, it seemed this sweet mare had a chronic uterine infection. She was treated with a long course of antibiotics that seemed to resolve the issue, but only briefly before signs of infection returned. She’s had a vaginal discharge for many months, and she seemed to be incontinent, passing frequent squirts of urine (or icky mucous, pus) and not urinating normally.
Further diagnostics located a large bladder stone. Olivia had a procedure done to removed the stone; it was baseball to softball-sized and had to be broken up for removal. The photo below is just a small piece of the stone. Poor mare! After removal, she’s had a couple of follow-up lavages to help clear bladder and uterus of infection, sediment, and anything else that shouldn’t be there.
Since arrival, Olivia also had her basic health care updated: dental and hoof care, vaccines, and deworming. (She already had a microchip).
er last visit was a bit concerning. Her scope showed a dilated ureter and her bloodwork indicated her kidney values increased again, after coming down previously.
Olivia is an incredibly sweet, sweet mare. Please send some healng energies to help her recover!

CLYDE
Clyde came to AAE at the end of August from a nearby law enforcement agency. He and another horse were seized after abandonment on a large property where they were left to fend for themselves. Clyde was emaciated and in dire condition. Clyde also had a growth in his eye that was later supected cancer. He also has GI issues (inflammation/thickness in walls of small intestines) and lesions in his lungs.
The County’s vet suspected the abdominal/lung issues to be cancer, but with meds and a nourishing diet, he was fighting, and he was improving. Clyde was being treated with a twice daily steroid to control the GI inflammation, among other meds. Thankfully, Clyde’s condition stabilized, and his eye was removed.
This law enforcement agency went above and beyond to help this sweet guy. They invested in a chance for life and the hard work needed to make sure this very sick horse had a chance at survival. They truly gave him the gift of life when others would have made a much easier call.
Though he may have cancer, he needed a place to go where he could continue his recovery maybe even thrive. He just wanted some love! Clyde came to AAE expecting to be a hospice situation, but with hope he would improve. Once he arrived, he continued on his daily meds and his refeeding program. After about a month, he was due for his follow-up. Clyde was looking better and feeling better. Amazingly, his bloodwork came back all within normal limits. His ultrasound showed he still has some GI inflammation and lung lesions, but they were better than expected. Great news for Clyde! He also got much needed hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming, as well as a microchip.
His daily steroid was tapered down to half of what it was. He’s holding his own, he’s looking great, and he’s feeling great. Not too long ago, he made the transition to herd life, and he’s enjoying being a horse again.
Though we don’t know what the future will hold for Mr. Clyde, he’s getting lots of love, and he sure seems to be enjoying every day, one day at a time! He’s sure a big, sweet guy, and everyone loves him! He’ll have a follow-up after the new year, and we’ll see where things go from there. For now, he’s enjoying the miracle of Christmas, and he’s grateful for all of the love and care he’s getting from all of his volunteers. Clyde’s so thankful for the support from all of you that has given him a second chance to live his best life! He’s not forgotten, it all started with law enforcement! Clyde sends Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday wishes to all!

NEVAEH
Nevaeh is a grade mid- to late-teen mare that came to AAE in September through law enforcement after she was abandoned on someone’s property. She was seized as a stray, and we were asked to help. When she arrived, she was thin and needed basice care (i.e., dental and hoof care, vaccines, and deworming), and she got a microchip.
This beautiful mare is uncomplicated. She’s sweet, she enjoys attention, she’s fairly easy to handle (i.e., halter, lead, grooming, hooves, & trailering). She transitioned into a pasture herd without issue. We’ve tested br0i- 3efly with saddling, and she’s not a fan. So initial thoughts are little to no riding experience, but we’ll explore more as long as she’s here. At this point, she’ll be available as a non-riding companion simply because she doesn’t appear to know much and she’s older. If we find differently, we’ll revisit.
Nevaeh has been such a sweet girl during our stay with us. She is looking good and feeling even better! Now, her only wish is for a person and home of her own.
Nevaeh is available for adoption as a non-riding companion. She may be able to do more in the right situation, but for now, that’s the best option for her success.

MATTEO
Matteo is a handsome ~11-year old who came to AAE in Fall 2023. We were told he was a Colonial Spanish Barb horse that came from a larger herd after the passing of his owner. He was a stallion, he was not halterable/touchable, and he had very large summer sore on his face. (Summer sores are associated with the life cycles of stomach worms and transmitted by flies). Because he was so fearful and reactive to humans, no one at his prior home had been able to handle him to treat the summer sore. He had been living in about a 24′ x 24′ paddock for a year, and had no turn-out or opportunity to run.
We got to work, and after consultation with vet, we were able to improvise a bit and treat him with antibiotics, steroids, and various fly deterrents. Cooling weather and end of the fly season helped, too. It took time, but it healed. Unfortunately, it seems he’s prone to summer sores. This past summer, he ended up with two small sores that eventually resolved. Matteo is quite a challenge; he’s not really interested humans touching him, though, he’s making slow progress. Fortunately, he’s curious and he’s food motivated, and we’ll keep working to break down his walls, little by little.
Matteo was gelded earlier this year, and once healed, he was introduced individually to some of the geldings. He was recently moved to the mustang pasture (about 20 acres). For the first time in a long time, he can run with and interact with a group of other horses (geldings), and he’s enjoying it immensely. Once the weather changes in spring, he’ll come in again for a little more learning, and I’m sure we’ll learn more from him. For now, he’s a pretty happy pasture horse.
This holiday season, the horses we rescue have only one wish: a bright future. With your support, we can give them more than just shelter — we can give them hope. Join us in making their dreams come true by helping us provide the funding needed to care for and rehome these majestic creatures.

MYERS
AAE welcomed Myers along with Portia, Maia, and Whiskey in summer 2023. After a call from law enforcement to help with an older horse, we went to pick up Maia and discovered another three in need of help. The horses’ basic care and overall health had been inadequate for some time. Myers and Whiskey were stallions who had each been tied to a 15-foot rope attached to a metal stake in the ground, and some resarch shows they likely lived this way for seven years. At that time, we didn’t take in mature stallions due to the difficult challenges they can represent, but we couldn’t leave Myers and Whiskey where they were. We added Portia to the intake, and loaded her into the trailer with Maia, then returned for the boys after building two stallion paddocks at AAE.
Myers was a bit challenging with studly behavior, but overall, he was not unmanageable. Over the following several months at AAE, he gained weight, his handling and behavior improved considerably. Once he was more manageable, he was dewormed and had hoof care, though he wasn’t a fan of farrier work. He had dental care, and vaccines, and he got a microchip. His hooves were touched up after his dental. Soon after, he was castrated, and that closed that chapter of his life. He was ready to start a new chapter.
After he’d been with us for a little over a year, he made a really big transformation, and Myers found a forever home!

MOLLIE & MILA
Sweet Mollie is a beautiful ~5 year old Arabian mare who arrived with her ~6 month old filly by her side. They were diamonds in the rough! Poor Mollie was so defeated and spent. When we first met her, her sadness was palpable. It was as if she had nothing left. She had been separated from her filly, and after who knows how many months of the food and safety deprivation she had endured, it seemed so wrong she would be deprived of her connection with her baby.
Mila had put herself in a corner trying to get to mom. The yearning to be with each other was painful to see. Thankfully, when we returned with the trailer a couple day later, the girls were all moved to a large holding area (the arena) together. From there, we moved them through alleys and chutes to sort and load them. You can see the relief, already.
The first thing we did when we got back to AAE was reunite the group, most importantly, moms with foals. They had been separated in the spirit of their own good because they were all so depleted, but they were all so stressed, it seemed like unnecessary stress at that moment.
Though she wasn’t halterable initially, it didn’t take too long to earn Mollie’s trust. Haltering, leading, and hoof handling fell into place. Once Mollie was confident enough, she had all the works, hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming, and she got a microchip. She also had bloodwork done indicating she was pregnant.
Mila, on the other hand, was the most challenging of the foals. Terrified was an understatement, but once she began to understand, she never turned back. Mila’s confidence grew, and she became one of the more social kids. When she was ready, Mila was dewormed, and had her vaccines and hoof care.
Once their health improved and they overcame their challenges, their beauty shone through. Their transformation in just four months was truly remarkable. Mollie and Mila also got a beautiful gift, and we couldn’t be more grateful. They were adopted together; the two that probably needed to be “together” the most.
This holiday season, the horses we rescue have only one wish: a bright future. With your support, we can give them more than just shelter — we can give them hope. Join us in making their dreams come true by helping us provide the funding needed to care for and rehome these majestic creatures.

SWEENEY & TYLER
Sweeney is a beautiful ~5 year old Arabian mare. She looked like a tick when she arrived. Her midline was round and plump, and she looked miserably pregnant! We wanted her to deliver so she’d get some relief, but at the same time, she wasn’t halterable. Poor girl was suspicious of every move anyone would make when in her bubble. She was a bit of a challenge, and unfortunately, we didn’t have enough time to earn her trust. She arrived at AAE on March 20, and she delivered a sweet little filly on April 8, 2024, not even three weeks later, on Eclipse Day. Sweeney and Tyler’s names were inspired by Eclipse Day. Sunny Sweeney for the obvious, and Bonnie Tyler who sings Total Eclipse of the Heart. (For those that don’t know, AAE horse names are country artist inspired. We have some fun with that!)
Sweeney was a great mom, and a protective mom, so we gave these girls there space while Sweeney adapted to her new role. Fortunately, both seemed very healthy after delivery. She’s young, and we wouldn’t be surprised if Tyler was her first foal. Once they had some time to themselves, we reintroduced human touch, halter and lead, and kind new ways of thinking. Before long, she was accepting a halter, learning to lead, and having her hooves handled.
Sweeney came around slow but sure. Her confidence grew a little every day. Tyler, too, but she was a little toughie. She got so good at hiding behind mom and avoiding humans, but thankfully, we figured her out. Once Sweeney was confident enough, she had her hooves trimmed, and she had dental care, vaccines, and deworming, and she got a microchip. Tyler was dewormed, had her vaccines and hoof care.
These two gals received another incredible gift; they were adopted together and they’ll run off into the sunset, together, forever!
This holiday season, the horses we rescue have only one wish: a bright future. With your support, we can give them more than just shelter — we can give them hope. Join us in making their dreams come true by helping us provide the funding needed to care for and rehome these majestic creatures. Your generosity this December will help more horses find their second chance in 2025.
Your donations provide a safe, loving home for rescued horses. Your contribution will ensure that horses like Sweeney and Tyler find the peace and care they deserve, now and in the future. Any amount is very much appreciated, and it makes a big difference for the horses.

It’s that time at the end of the year when we reflect upon the horses (and other animals) you have helped over the past 12 months. We are filled with so much gratitude for your support, because this is what makes rescuing and caring for horses-in-need possible. Every horse represents the combined efforts of our community – volunteers, donors, and supporters who believe in the power of second chances.
As is tradition in December, each day this month, we share stories from the past year that are the direct result of you and your dedication to horses-in-need. Thank you for being such an incredible horse warrior and fighting for horses who need another chance. We hope you enjoy! Happy Holidays to all!
KACEY & MICA
Kacey and Mica were the last two girls we brought back from our third trip to Susanville on April 6. Along with Karli, these girls added to the rescue group, and the effort became a 15 horse intake, plus Norah’s filly, Noah. Thankfully, Kacey and Mica were in fairly good condition.
KACEY
Mom, Kacey, is an ~eight year old Arabian mare that is sweet as pie
Her filly, Mica, is a ~three year old Arabian filly who is equally sweet as pie with a little bit of sass! It was quickly obvious that Kacey and Mica were a very bonded pair. The thought of separating these two was basically unthinkable. They were not easy to distinguish, but mama, Kacey, has the narrow blaze and a little white on her front right pastern!
They are both very friendly and mild-mannered. Neither was keen with the introduction of a halter, but it didn’t take much to earn their trust. Haltering quickly became easier, and learning to lead didn’t take long. Once they were halterable and handleable, they go their spa day(s), like the rest (hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming, and they got their microchips).
We can’t say enough about how sweet and kind these two lovelies are.
Kacey and Mica were adopted to a wonderful family, and they will get to stay together forever!! That is one of the best gifts ever! They are going to make THE best partners!

KARLI
Not long after Noah was born, we got another call asking us to take the remaining three mares. The other rescue was unable to take them. There was a fair coming to town, and the horses needed to be moved soon. Oh my! We made another trip to Susanville on April 6, and we brought back the last three girls. They were in better condition.
Karli is a ~3 year old Arabian filly. She’s one of the most beautiful of the bunch! Karli was so scared and reactive when a halter was first introduced, but we took it slow, and her courage showed. She was so brave. She’s so willing as long as you take things slow.
Karli is a very lovely, sensitive lil’ filly and a trainer favorite! She was curious, but so timid when she got to AAE. Slowly but surely, her confidence has grown, and she’s improved so much. She’s good with hoof handling and the farrier, if you take it slow. She’s improving every day. Karli is enjoying pasture life with a herd, and she comes to greet you. She’s been introduced to a saddle pad and surcingle, but that was difficult for her. She was reactive and still needs to grow some more courage before moving forward to fast. She’s really a sweet thing with a ton of potential.
Karli is available for adoption.
Karli is current with dental and hoof care, vaccines, and deworming, and she has a microchip. Her young-hose experienced person will be patient and take things slow to build her confidence so she can take life in stride

NORAH & NOAH
It was March 20 when we brough Norah back to AAE along with 11 other Arabians. Her belly was big, and her udder was full. We knew it wouldn’t be long before she’d be welcoming a foal.
NORAH
Norah is an ~8 year old Arabian mare. We saw her, and we wanted to get her back to AAE asap, but the long drive ahead felt daunting for her. It was dark when we unloaded the trailers, and the next morning we got to work shuffling horses and paddocks. We knew we didn’t have long to get hands on Miss Norah so the vet could handle her should she have problems with delivery.
Thankfully, it didn’t take long for Norah to accept touching and haltering, and it didn’t seem all too foreign to her. The late night and early morning checks began, and in the early hours of her fourth night, March 24, little Miss Noah was born.
Norah was an amazing mom, and Noah’s grown into a beautiful weanling. Mom’s had come challenges along the way. She arrived with a couple old injuries on her hind right leg. One healed, the other hasn’t. She has a golf ball-sized mass on her heel. We’re hoping it’s proud flesh (granulation tissue), but also suspect a sarcoid. See graphic photos here.It needs to be removed now that baby is weaned and fly season has finally slowed down. On top of that, Norah had a mystery injury about a month after arrival. Somehow, she fractured her upper jaw and nearly lost some teeth. Thankfully, Dr Errico at Loomis Basin was able to repair her jaw, and she’s healed well. See graphic photos here. She’ll have her dental next month after waiting about six months for her bone to heal. Once she has her dental, and her mass is removed, that will complete all of the vet care from the Susanville horses. It’s been a long haul! Well, we may have a few pregnant mares delivering foals in the next month or two.
Norah will be available for adoption after her mass is removed and healed. Stay tuned for updates. If you’d like to help with Norah’s veterinary cost, we’d sure appreciate the extra help! Donate for to help with those vet costs here.
NOAH
Noah is an 8-1/2 month old Arabian filly. She is a proud and sassy lil’ one, and she’s a ton of fun!
Noah halters and leads well. She’s very confident and loves to run wth the big girls in the pasture. She’s smart and learns quickly.
Noah is current with hoof care, vaccines, and deworming, and she has a microchip. Noah is available for adoption to a young-horse experienced person. She would love to go home with her pal, Theo, too. Interested? Please submit an Adoption Inquiry.
