Heartwarming Adoption Story

MYERS

Today, we are sharing the heartwarming adoption story of Myers!

AAE welcomed Myers along with Portia, Maia, and Whiskey last year. We went to pick up Maia and discovered another three in need of help. The horses’ basic care and overall health had been neglected 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, likely 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 there. We took Maia and Portia, then returned for the boys after building two stallion paddocks at AAE.

Over the following several months at AAE, the four gained weight, relearned some basic handling and manners, then received the works (dental and hoof care, vaccines, deworming, etc.). Myers and Whiskey were gelded, once they were safely manageable.

 

Over the summer, Myers found a forever home where he will live a wonderful life – happy, healthy, and surrounded by love. Thank you, Kristina, for making Myers a member of your family!

Stories like Myers’s are a reminder of why we do what we do, and it wouldn’t be possible with the kindness and ongoing dedication of our AAE community! You are part of making these beautiful transformations happen!

Your donations, volunteering, adopting, and social media shares & likes really do make a difference; it’s what makes all of this work possible!

Thank YOU!

OLIVIA

It’s been a while since we’ve shared a horse story with you, but we are excited to introduce our newest herd member, Olivia. She’s a very sweet and easy going mare!

Olivia came to AAE with some health issues that weren’t resolved, and she had not been getting the care she needed. Olivia is a 14 year old (2010) Thoroughbred. She ran 22 races from 2015 to 2017, and her racing history wasn’t too impressive (one win). She won $17,540 during her long racing career.

Since arrival, Olivia has had her basic health care updated: dental and hoof care, vaccines, and deworming. She already had a microchip.

 Olivia also had quite the round of diagnostics, revealing this sweet mare has had a chronic uterine infection. She’s on a long course of antibiotics in hopes it will resolve the issue. If not, we will continue further treatment options with Dr. Stolba to get her healthy.

Cross your fingers the antibiotics work, and stay tuned for updates!

Thank you, Laura P., for sponsoring Olivia!

We believe that every horse deserves a second chance, and with the continued support of our community, we can provide Olivia and others like her with the love and care they need.

 

Chilly Pepper – Update – WENDY IS SAFE – Callie still needs your help!!!

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

Hi

Quick update

We have reached the matching $1000 funds, paid for the most recent load of hay and Wendy is home. Vet bill in NV is paid, and now we need to get Callie. Sadly the vet bill in WA is still close to $4,000. I’m giving Wendy a few days to decompress and praying she won’t end up needing vet care.

We need $875 to save Callie and cover her transport. She is the 3 year old filly who was headed to slaughter. Let’s save her too!!!!

The horses are eating almost double due to the cold weather, and it seems like it is going to be a tough winter this year. Thank you for your help!

Chilly Pepper – UPDATE- MATCHING DONATION OFFER for Pregnant, HORRIBLY ABUSED, Mustang – Can We Save Her??

, , , , 0

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

Hi

An amazing donor offered to match up to $1000 beginning now, at 8:45 a.m. today. Deadline is fast approaching. Let’s “git ‘er done”

This beautiful mare needs our help now. She is what is known as a “direct ship” if we do not save her. This means she will ship to slaughter if Chilly Pepper does not save her! Will you help us save her? I need to commit asap!

She has been used for “roping practice”. If you look at her legs you can see the injuries from being “tripped”. There are folks who practice “heeling” with wild horses, and others who do what’s called “tripping”. They practice on the plain horses, and the rodeos use fancy horses for the competitions. NOT all rodeos do this, but there are certain groups who are known for it.

I was told, “She is wild as heck, in foal (we believe), and they have been roping her. She doesn’t want to be a people horse at all.”

This mare is terrified and has suffered a great deal of pain. Even when they practice “regular roping”, it means she is chased, terrified and has a loop thrown over her head while she is running in fear, and then she is jerked to a stop. When horses are “tripped”, the WHOLE EVENT is to rope a running, terrified horse by it’s legs and trip it so it crashes to the ground.. She may never recover from the emotional abuse, but definitely does not deserve to be slaughtered on top of all the abuse she has already suffered.

These are the best photos I have, and she is definitely a “long term project”, IF she doesn’t have injuries that would make it impossible for her to have a comfortable life.

It’s hard to tell in the photos, but she is severely underweight and her hips are sunken in. Her unborn baby also needs groceries asap. Please help me save her.

Good news, StarFire, and 2 of the fillies were adopted. Dustin Time Rescue took the 3 boys and Teddy and GG, so we do have room for Wendy. Teamwork makes the dream work.

Start An Important Conversation This Week

, , , 0

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:

This is National Estate Planning Awareness Week, and as a volunteer-driven organization dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating equines, we understand the power of future planning to protect the horses, other animals, and people we love.

Start planning now to prevent situations like the one we found Cody in. Cody came to AAE after his owner passed away without a plan for his future care.

AAE receives many calls requesting assistance with horses because their owners passed without a plan in place to provide for their care. These horses are at-risk as they have no one to care for them, no planned resources for their care, and nowhere to go. Creating a will or revocable living trust to document your plan can prevent situations like this.

Estate planning doesn’t have to be stressful or complicated. It starts with meaningful conversations with your loved ones about the future. Here are a few guiding questions to get you started:
·     Who would we want to care for our children (or pets)?

·     Who would we want to help manage our finances? Who would be our financial power of attorney?

·     Does our medical power of attorney know our health concerns and wishes?

·     Are the chosen family members or friends aware of these roles and willing to take them of?

·     How can we ensure those we choose understand our wishes and have the financial resources to care for our children or pets the way we would?

·     Can we create a legacy that ensures care for neglect, abused, and abandoned horses?

Because of the support we received from generous, horse-loving individuals, we were able to help Cody become the vibrant, youthful horse he once was, and he found his forever home.

This free, easy-to-use estate planning tool helps you to secure what matters most. With it, you can create a will or revocable living trust. You can name guardians for your children and pets, decide how your assets will be distributed, designate beneficiaries for your 401k and non-probate assets, and support the causes you cherish (like helping the horses of AAE) for years to come.

Make Your Plan Today

In addition to protecting your assets, a will or revocable living trust (RLT) allows you to provide for the people and animals you love. It is also important to name a guardian for your animals in your will or RLT so they will always be in the care of a person or organization you trust. An animal/pet guardian can step in immediately to assure your animals safety and continuity of care. If you intend to name AAE as your animal guardian, you must first contact us. We can work with you to develop a plan for your equine (and other animals). Visit our Animal Guardianship page to learn more.

This week, consider how you can build a legacy that reflects your values. An estate plan ensures your love for horses lives on. Get started on your free estate plan today.
With gratitude,
Wendy Digiorno

The federal government’s wild horse and burro holding system is at the brink >>

, , , , 0

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

Right now, over 66,000 wild horses and burros are held in captivity by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) – and the agency recently announced it plans to round up 11,000 more next year. Rush a donation now and help us fight back to keep these innocent animals in the wild where they belong!

This is the heartbreaking reality for over 66,000 of our nation’s formerly free-roaming wild horses and burros.

Tens of thousands of innocent animals are crammed into corrals, oftentimes with no shade or room to run, vulnerable to deadly disease outbreaks, and in danger of being funneled into the slaughter pipeline via the BLM’s disastrous Adoption Incentive Program (AIP) – all on the taxpayers’ dime every year.

We know it doesn’t have to be like this. Through our fertility control program on Nevada’s Virginia Range, we’ve been proving for over five years that there IS a better way to manage our nation’s wild horses and burros — one that keeps them out of these overburdened facilities and in the wild where they’re meant to be.

But, over 16,000 mustangs and burros were captured in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 alone. Now, with our wild horse and burro holding system already at the brink, the agency is planning to round up another 11,000 in FY 2025 – placing the lives of so many of these innocent animals in jeopardy. 

Whether it’s in the field, in the courts, or on Capitol Hill, we’re committed to continuing the fight for the freedom of our wild herds. Will you make a contribution today to support our efforts to keep wild horses and burros in the wild where they belong?

Thank you,

Chilly Pepper – Urgent help needed! Vet is coming and we need hay asap due to freezing weather

, , , , 0

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

Hi

Doc is coming out today, and it will be close to $1000 to get the horses vetted and ready to cross state lines. The temperatures are dropping like crazy. It is supposed to be about 20 degrees tonight, and all of the horses are eating double from what they ate a week ago. We need hay, and we need it quickly.

We have some pending adoptions, which means we need to get Coggins, Health Certificates and Brand inspections so they can leave the state. This will get the adopted kids off the feed bill, but they cannot leave until we have them vetted.

Please help us raise the $3500 for vetting, coggins, and hay. With the weather ALREADY in the 20’s, it looks like it is going to be a rough year.

We have been running on Faith and Fumes, as always, and I so appreciate any and all help with the much needed hay. As of now I have 2 big bales left, and that will last the rest of this week.

The horses say THANK YOU!

We still have a huge vet bill at Goldendale Veterinary. We didn’t quite cover the costs for setting Stormy free from her pain, and I just trapped the last wild cat “Crazy” and had him neutered. Appreciate any help with the vet bills as well.

PLEASE HELP AND SHARE THIS FAR & WIDE! THANK YOU to everyone who has already donated.

Chilly Pepper – Meet the Kids – Great Joy, Blessings and Heartbreak. We need your help!

, , , , 0

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

Hi,
Meet the latet kids. They are super sweet, and so happy to be safe and sound at Chilly Pepper. THANK YOU!

Some heartbreaking news. Our beautiful Stormy, the filly with the horribly damaged jaw, was too badly injured to save. Doc had to let her go and end her suffering. We tried to give her a bit of time so we could have as much info as possible, but the bone growth just kept increasing. Both vets agreed that there was zero alternative but to end her pain.

I couldn’t bear to dump her in land fill, so I went out on Faith and we had her buried on a ranch, with the others who have gone before her.

I realize it is expensive, but I have been doing this too long and I simply do not have it in me to dump one of my precious babies in the garbage. I know she wasn’t there, but I wanted to be respectful. I hope y’all support that and will help us with our big vet bills.

Both vet bills are really high. Misty was extremely sick and needed an emergency visit. She needed all sorts of meds and tests, but thankfully she is doing much better now. However, the farm calls are expensive. Just the last geldings, Coggins and meds were $1500 plus in NV. Stormy’s appt, euthanasia and burial was also very expensive. I could feel her suffering, and she deserved so much better. I hate it when I get them too late, to help.

I so appreciate all of my beautiful Chilly Pepper Family. I’m sorry this is so late, but my silly computer is working “sometimes” at random intervals, and honestly I am simply exhausted. My leg is very draining and raising funds and fighting the injuries just takes it out of you. Happily, we still have 26 kids right now who are happy and healthy, and say THANK YOU for letting me order more hay.

We can really use some help to get set for winter. With 27 on site right now, they are eating us out of house and home. Good news – there are some potential adoptions happening. PTL!

You Can Support Horses-in-Need, Even from Afar!

, , , , 0

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:

Each year during our annual Boots & Bling event, we emphasize a vital need for support at All About Equine through our Fund-A-Need (FAN) effort.

 This year, as a result of increased hay costs, general inflation, and the ongoing demand to support more horses-in-need, our FAN is focused again on supporting our general operations.

 Last night, hundreds of fellow supporters celebrated All About Equine’s 11th Annual Boots and Bling and 15 years of helping horses-in-need. During the event, we shared a video featuring some of the incredible work made possible by your support over the past year.

At AAE, we’ve seen firsthand the heartbreaking reality of horses that have been neglected, abandoned, or abused. We’re not just here to reflect on their stories; we’re here to rewrite them. Every horse that comes into our care represents a second chance, a new beginning; your support makes this lifesaving work possible.

With your donation to our FAN, you’ll be making miracles by supporting costs for essential medical care, food, shelter, and more for future horses who have nowhere else to turn. Though you couldn’t be with us in person, we’d still love for you to be part of this FAN team! Your generosity will make a significant impact for horses-in-need.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps create a brighter future for horses who need us most.

Together, we’ve already accomplished so much, but the need is still great. Please give with your heart, and know you are making a difference.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support AAE! You are a vital part of this community.

PS. There are still a few items available in the Virtual Silent Auction! If you’d like to bid, the second round of the auction will remain open until Monday, September 30 at 7pm PT.

Bid with Your Heart ❤️

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:

Tomorrow night we will join together for a cause that’s close to all of our hearts – helping horses who need us most. Horses like Clyde.

Clyde is an intake from a nearby law enforcement agency. He and another horse were left on a property to fend for themselves. He had a cancerous eye tumor, and once he was in stable condition, his eye was removed (before coming to AAE). Clyde is a big, gentle soul, most of the time, and we’ve already seen him improve in the short time he’s been with us.

Boots & Bling isn’t just about good food, great company, and lively bidding – it’s about making a difference for horses-in-need. Here’s how you can help change lives:

  • Attend Boots & Bling: If you haven’t already, you can still purchase a ticket and join us! There are a limited number of tickets available, so act quickly!
  • Silent Auction: The Silent Auction is virtual, so people far and wide can participate, all in the spirit of helping horses-in-need! It’s a HUGE auction with something for everyone. If you haven’t registered for the auction, there are instructions, below, plus some bidding tips. If you don’t win, consider making a donation to AAE!
  • Fund-A-Need: Whether you’re with us in person or in spirit, you’ll have a chance to directly support horses. Stay tuned for more information.

Imagine the difference we can make together!

Thank you for your support this weekend and always!

Chilly Pepper – MATCHING FUNDS for saving these precious souls – We need YOU to Help Save Them!

, , , 0

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

It’s GO Time! We need more funds to keep them safe. I have to commit For Sure by Monday at 9 A.M. Our beautiful Angel offered to match up to $1500. Matching that would cover the costs to KEEP THEM SAFE. It doesn’t cover the costs to get them home, but we need to get them SAFE, before anything else
I cannot even imagine how horrible it would be to be butchered in someone’s back yard. I have seen some pretty horrific situations, and these horses don’t deserve that.
PLEASE HELP US SAVE THESE KIDS!!!!!

I so appreciate ALL MY CHILLY PEPPER FAMILY, but lately I wonder if it is time to slow down and step away. With the economy this unstable, I wonder if folks will still want to keep saving as many as we can. Again, I am willing to do the work but have to be able to care for any that we save that end up being permanent residents.

PLEASE HELP AND SHARE THIS FAR & WIDE! THANK YOU to everyone who has already donated.

THANK YOU, MY CHILLY PEPPER FAMILY, FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE! YOU ROCK!!!

Chilly Pepper – The Sad Six are home. Badly injured, Going blind?, Broken Jaw??

, , , 0

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

This is a rough one. We need so much help with these precious souls. Y’all met the “matching funds”and they were used for bail, transport, existing vet bills in NV, & paying the guys to haul, break down, and put up the new shelter.

These horses are in rough condition. The little baby named Barkley, appears to be going blind. He has issues with both eyes, and a badly infected leg. Stormy appears to possibly have a broken jaw? We had Doc out for an emergency vet visit to make sure we were not torturing her waiting for a regular appointment. He is going to sedate her, check out her mouth and then do x-rays to see what actual damage there is, and to possibly schedule surgery. Scarlett has a horrible injury on her leg and another injury that is infected on her side. Most of the time I don’t even see the horses, and I never have any real idea about injuries etc.

We need to pay off the panels, which is another $2,000, the vet bill in WA which is about $3500, order more hay, grain, special feed for the babies and more clay.

Raising money is difficult in this economy. I know folks get tired of it, I know I AM extremely tired of doing fundraisers. I think some people forget that I don’t get paid, am working with a broken leg, and am simply doing my best to keep saving the horses. But for EACH AND EVERY ONE THAT YOU (WE) SAVE, IT IS A TRUE EMERGENCY AND IT IS BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH! It’s so hard to say yes sometimes because I have to be able to care for them and pay the folks who help out while I am broken.
I also received a call about a big, starving, older draft horse. I cannot begin to think about saying yes if we can’t cover the day to day and costs for the horses we have rescued. Winter is coming, and I know we have to be prepared. IF folks want to help and we get enough to cover at least most of the expenses, I would definitely try and help the draft horse. Until then, I simply can’t say yes to him today.
I so appreciate ALL MY CHILLY PEPPER FAMILY, but lately I wonder if it is time to slow down and step away. With the economy this unstable, I wonder if folks will still want to keep saving as many as we can. Again, I am willing to do the work, but have to be able to care for any that we save that end up being permanent residents.

Chilly Pepper – Fabulous 5 is now the Skinny Six Funds needed by Monday to save the kids

, 0

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

We spent yesterday in The Highlands, near Virginia City, NV taking down the donated barn and loading up the partially paid for, panels. We raised enough to pay the $2500 down payment on the panels, with another $2,000 due asap. (Again, the price for these panels was extremely low, and it would have been irresponsible to not try and get them.)

I still need Bail for 3 of the 6 horses, transport fees etc. for all of them, and I need the $2000 plus for the horses, by Monday, 9-9-24. At the very least I need to know that people are stepping up and we will get the necessary funds to say YES, and save these babies. I’m told that some of them are in rough shape.

Y’all raised $2500, but to make this a success, we need at least another $4000 to get the babies and finish paying for the panels, etc. There are still other urgent needs that we need to help with, but for now, we just need to get them safe. Then we can worry about geldings and stuff like that. We still need truck and trailer tires, more hay again, milk pellets, grain, etc.

We are at about $1,270 shy of the matching donations for $2500. I still need to pay the 2 workers who drove 8 hours, did much of the dismantling etc. and are currently out there in the sweltering sun, trying to get the new place ready for the now SIX new babies we are saving

I’m not sure what else to say. We really need more help. Thank you to everyone who did step up.

This is a big operation, and it went from a donated barn, that had to be dismantled and moved 8 hours (round trip), along with a trailer load of heavy panels. This is a huge blessing, but we need the funds to pay off the bank and let the horses start a new life. They want to be FED, though, so please be generous when donating.

Chilly Pepper – QUICK UPDATE – We need $3450 for tomorrow to get the panels and the babies.

, , 0

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

QUICK UPDATE –

We have raised about $1065 for this rescue. We need to reach at least the $4500 to get the babies and panels, We have to head out tomorrow, as the barn won’t be available after this. The property has been sold.

Hopefully, we will be heading over to pick up the barn and the panels tomorrow, and I need funds for this. I also have to hire folks to drive the other trailer, actually do the work to take down the barn etc.

THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE we bring the new kids in. PLEASE help make this happen.

I also had to pick up another load of Alfalfa last night.

PLEASE HELP AND SHARE THIS FAR & WIDE!

THANK YOU to everyone who has already donated.

(The funds in GoFundMe have been spent), except for any donations after August 15, 2024.

GoFundMe shows the total that has been donated for the life of the fundraiser, but that is not the money in the account.

A Fed Horse is A Dead Horse

Wild horses are a captivating symbol of the West, drawing visitors from far and wide to witness them in their natural habitats, particularly in Reno’s Virginia Range. However, despite good intentions, feeding or giving treats to these wild horses can do more harm than good. Learn more about the dangers of feeding wild horses, especially those in the Virginia Range below.

Happy National Wildlife Day!

This holiday was established to honor the wildlife living among us. That’s why we’re celebrating America’s wild horses and burros living in ecological balance with thousands of other species on our public lands across the West. Can you chip in to help fuel our in-the-wild conservation work to protect these iconic animals? >>

Our Land Conservancy Project builds on our unmatched record of in-the-wild conservation by working to restore meadows, protect creeks and springheads to provide life-sustaining access to water, and reseed areas with native grasses to ensure that wild horses and other wildlife have the resources they need to thrive. As you can see from the photo above, mustangs aren’t the only form of life flourishing on AWHC land!

Support In-the-Wild Conservation

When we announced our Land Conservancy Project in 2021, it was a groundbreaking new idea that we knew would be successful. Today, our main focus is ground healing.

We hope to see continued success demonstrated by thriving wild herds and flourishing wildlife of ALL kinds roaming free on the lands they call home.


Photo: John T. Humphrey

In addition to our Land Conservancy Project, our dedicated team is showing up every single day in the field, in the courts, and on Capitol Hill continuing our fight to uphold the promise to protect America’s wild horses and burros for generations to come.

But we can’t do this important work without your help. If you’re with us in the fight to protect America’s wild horses and burros, will you make a donation of any amount to fuel our work today?

Chip In Now

Thank you for your support, and happy National Wildlife Day!
