Giving Tuesday

Today your impact is doubled!

, , , , 0

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

Today is Giving Tuesday, and it’s the single most important fundraising day of the year for American Wild Horse Conservation.

Thanks to an incredibly generous group of donors, every dollar you give today will be matched up to $100,000. This means if you give today, your donation will go twice as far in protecting America’s wild horses and burros!

Thanks to your support, we’ve made significant progress in 2024:

  • Exposing cruelty: We documented nearly every Bureau of Land Management (BLM) helicopter roundup, revealing inhumane treatment and animal welfare violations.
  • Advancing policy change: We’ve translated our documentation efforts into direct policy action. We secured the support of key legislators and built critical momentum in Congress for humane, science-based conservation alternatives to helicopter roundups.
  • Revealing the dark side of the Adoption Incentive Program (AIP): Our investigations have exposed the AIP as a pipeline to slaughter for thousands of wild horses and burros. Our lawsuit against the program is pending in federal court.
  • Growing our movement: We expanded our grassroots coalition through effective public awareness and national ad campaigns, adding 50,000 activists to our “herd.”
  • Protecting habitats and wild herds: We continued groundbreaking conservation projects to safeguard key habitats and prove the effectiveness of humane fertility control.
DOUBLE YOUR GIFT — DONATE TODAY

But the fight isn’t over.

In 2025, we’ll face even greater challenges. With 66,000 wild horses and burros stockpiled in holding facilities, the risk that Congress will authorize lethal alternatives is at an all-time high. We must be ready to mobilize at a moment’s notice, and we can’t do it without you. Your Giving Tuesday gift will fuel critical efforts to:

  • Advocate for stronger protections: We’ll fight for federal laws that prevent slaughter and that ensure humane treatment for all wild horses and burros.
  • Hold the BLM accountable: Through expanded photojournalism and documentation programs, alongside thorough investigations, we’ll expose agency abuse and corruption and demand reforms to protect our beloved wild horses and burros.
  • Expand public campaigns: By growing national awareness and grassroots support, we’ll rally public opposition to slaughter and build momentum for humane, science-based solutions.

This is our most pivotal fundraising day of the year, and we’re counting on you to help us hit our ambitious $100,000 matchedgoal.

Your Giving Tuesday gift could mean the difference between life and death next year for wild horses and burros. Whether it’s $10 or $100, your contribution TODAY will make the biggest impact of any donation all year long.

DOUBLE YOUR GIFT — DONATE TODAY

Thank you for being a voice for America’s wild horses and burros. Together, we can ensure their future on our public lands.

Gratefully,

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

We can hardly believe it! TOMORROW is Giving Tuesday. We’re just hours away from our biggest fundraising day of the year. 

This year, we’re aiming to raise $100,000 to fuel our critical work in conserving wild horses and burros on public lands. Can we count on your support to help us reach this goal?

CHIP IN TO REACH OUR GOAL

And here’s the best part: A generous group of donors has pledged to match every contribution up to our $100,000 goal. That means your donation will be doubled — giving us double the power to protect our cherished wild horses and burros.

Your gift will: 

DOUBLE our ability to document federal helicopter roundups, ensuring wild horses and burros are treated humanely during these dangerous operations and that no animal welfare violation goes unrecorded.

DOUBLE our ability to raise awareness about the threats wild horses and burros face every day, through bold, impactful campaigns across social and traditional media.

DOUBLE our legal efforts to fight back in court to protect wild horses’ rights and their natural habitats for generations to come

DOUBLE our advocacy work to demand fair, humane, and sustainable policies that prioritize wild herd conservation on America’s public lands.

Double the impact. Double the progress. Double the lives saved in 2025.

As Giving Tuesday approaches, we’re asking you to help us make the most of this opportunity. Your gift today will go TWICE as far, helping us continue to lead the fight for wild horses and burros across the West.

CHIP IN TO DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT

Are you ready to make a difference? The clock is ticking. Help us keep our momentum going!

Thank you for being a vital part of this mission. Together, we can protect the wild horses and burros who need us most.

With gratitude,

Thanks to you, we’re one step closer to a future where wild herds roam freely, safe from cruel roundups and undue harm. Your commitment is the heart of our mission, and we’re so grateful to have you on this journey with us.

P.S. Please stay tuned for more Giving Tuesday updates — we couldn’t do this without you!

An exciting update

, , , 0

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

It’s Suzanne again, Executive Director of American Wild Horse Conservation. I wanted to take a moment to share an exciting update with you ahead of our deadline to unlock an important Giving Tuesday 2X matching donation. With just hours to go, a final donor has come forward to offer an additional $10,000 towards our Giving Tuesday match—bringing the total match potential up to $100,000! Please chip in before midnight to help us secure this incredible 2X matching opportunity for wild horses!

UNLOCK THE MATCH

For over a decade, I’ve been deeply committed to protecting America’s wild horses, standing alongside our AWHC herd. This fight isn’t just about preserving an iconic symbol of freedom—it’s about honoring our shared responsibility to safeguard wildlife and public lands for future generations.

Our wild herds embody the untamed beauty and freedom that define the American West, but that freedom is under constant threat. Federal policies continue to jeopardize their survival through inhumane helicopter roundups, habitat destruction, indefinite confinement in overburdened holding facilities and even the looming threat of slaughter. These challenges are immense, making the fight to protect these iconic animals more urgent than ever

I won’t sugarcoat things, Meredith, this fight isn’t easy. Yet despite the many challenges in front of us, there is hope. Together, through collective action and an unwavering commitment to standing up for our wild herds, we have the power to create lasting change and preserve a legacy of wildness that belongs to us all.

This is why I’m so proud of the entire AWHC team and our herd of grassroots advocates like you. From challenging inhumane roundups in the courts to fighting for humane, sustainable solutions in Congress, we’re making a difference for mustangs and burros—and right now, we have an extraordinary opportunity to amplify our impact by unlocking this $100,000 2X match.

But, only if we meet our goal of raising $50,000 by midnight tonight. We’re less than $1,000 away from unlocking these funds, and your support can help get us across the finish line. Will you make a contribution today to help us secure this critical funding?

UNLOCK THE MATCH

Your donation today will go twice as far to help wild horses. With your support, I pledge to continue the fight to reform our broken federal wild horse and burro management system, fight for humane solutions, and ensure that America’s wild herds remain free for generations to come.

Thank you,

Help us set the stage for our biggest moment of the year

, , , , 0

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

Our most important fundraising day of the year is just three weeks away.

This year, Giving Tuesday is December 3.

We’ve challenged our team to raise $50,000 by November 21 to kick off a successful season of giving and inspire generous, essential donor matches that will help us achieve our advocacy goals for 2025. Can you chip in today to help us set the stage for Giving Tuesday and power our work to protect wild horses and burros?

GIVE NOW

There’s a lot at stake. As we look ahead at a new fiscal year with a new administration and Congress directing federal agencies, our efforts are more important than ever. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) wild horse and burro roundup and stockpile system is near its breaking point with over 66,000 animals currently languishing in federal holding facilities.

In fact, as we write this, two devastating federal helicopter roundups are underway in Nevada and California targeting nearly 3,000 wild horses. Chased by helicopters over rugged terrain, these horses will endure high-stress conditions, risking injury, exhaustion, and separation from their families. Ten horses have already died. 

Yet these disturbing realities do not change the BLM’s plans to round up thousands more horses and burros in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025. 

Every day, our team continues to expose federal cruelties and hold the BLM accountable. Will you help power our fight to keep wild horses and burros wild?

Our most important fundraising day of the year is just a month away!

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

Can you believe we’re only one month away from Giving Tuesday?

In case you didn’t know, Giving Tuesday is our most important fundraising day of the year. It’s a day where people across the world come together and give back to their communities and to the causes they care most about.

Our Giving Tuesday fundraising lays the foundation for our continued wild horse and burro advocacy next year. That’s why we’re counting on our incredible herd of advocates to rally together in support of our work to advance the cause of wild horse and burro conservation. 

Since this day is so critical to our mission, we want to get a head start on our Giving Tuesday fundraising. We’ve set a goal to raise $50,000 by November 21 to ensure we head into Giving Tuesday strong. Can you chip in today to help us kick off our Giving Tuesday fundraising and power our work to protect wild horses and burros?

CHIP IN

There’s so much at stake. The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) wild horse and burro roundup and stockpile system is near its breaking point with over 66,000 animals currently held in federal corrals. Despite this, the agency is planning on rounding up thousands more horses and burros in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025.

Your support will be critical to our efforts to continue being a voice for wild horses and burros next year – whether that’s in the field, in the courts, or on Capitol Hill. Please, can you chip in any amount today to help us get a head start on our Giving Tuesday campaign and fuel the critical work that we’re doing for our wild herds?

One last chance…

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

This is Suzanne Roy, the executive director of the American Wild Horse Campaign.

I wanted to reach out one last time to ask you to make a donation to help us hit our $100,000 Giving Tuesday goal before midnight tonight. We still have to raise a bit more, and if you chip in before midnight, your donation will be DOUBLED, helping us have a 2X impact protecting wild horses and burros.

AWHC is leading the charge for wild horse and burro conservation. This year, we’ve made great strides for our wild herds and, with your support, we know we can do the same next year. In 2023, we documented nearly all Bureau of Land Management (BLM) roundups, exposed the reality of overburdened federal holding facilities, and investigated the Adoption Incentive Program (AIP). Public awareness about the plight of these animals has never been higher, thanks to our national advertising campaigns, translating into growing support in Congress for reform. And so much more…

As Giving Tuesday — our most critical fundraising day of the year — comes to a close, we’re asking for your help to power our 2024 agenda.

A generous donor has pledged to DOUBLE every donation towards our ambitious $100,000 Giving Tuesday goal. Time is of the essence and we only have a few hours left to take advantage of this opportunity and maximize our matching power. Can you add a donation right now? >>

CHIP IN

We have lofty goals for 2024 and we know we are on the precipice of change. With your help, we can make 2024 the most game-changing year yet.

I’m asking you one last time: Will you please chip in whatever you can to help us hit our $100,000 Giving Tuesday goal before midnight? This is your FINAL opportunity to have your donation doubled, and your last chance to help us hit our goal.

DOUBLE MY IMPACT

I am profoundly grateful to everyone who has contributed to our cause. Your dedication is the driving force behind AWHC’s work, and we simply can’t do it without you. Thank you for making a difference for these animals we cherish, and who are so important to our nation and western public lands.

Gratefully,

Give Hope to Horses like Sierra for #GivingTuesday!

, , , , , , , 0

The following is from All About Equine Rescue:

GIVINGTUESDAY

For nearly 15 years, we have worked together to transform the lives of hundreds of horses. Today, we can continue to give more horses a second chance at a healthy, happy, and love-filled life, and you can make it happen!

Horses like Sierra.

Sierra was one of AAE’s first horses. In 2009 she was rescued from a feedlot with two foals. One was her own, and the other was an orphaned foal whom she had taken as her own while at the feedlot. Thankfully, we were able to provide the soft landing they needed.

Sierra was emaciated and weak. Despite being little more than skin and bones, and though she was tired and depleted, Sierra never gave up on her boys. She allowed both to nurse enough to keep them alive. She had likely been a broodmare, and she had little, if any, handling. Sierra was full of parasites, and her feet were tender because of huge abscesses in her neglected hooves. Even more sadly, shortly after her arrival, she delivered a stillborn foal.

Despite her rough beginning, Sierra made progress, albeit slowly. She gained weight, her steps improved, and she eventually learned to trust more. Our volunteers loved her and wanted to keep this brave, stoic, and loving mom safe forever, so she became a sanctuary resident.

Her boys were adopted to their adoring humans, and over the years, Sierra has continued to share her maternal side with younger horses who come to AAE. She shows them proper horse behavior and loves them as her own. Now she spends her days in pasture with Barney by her side.

Sierra is here today because people cared enough to give her a second chance at a good life

On average, it costs about $8 each day for feed and health care for horses at AAE. Expenses add up quickly when caring for 50+/- horses and other animals, and even more so when diagnostics, treatments, medications, surgery, and emergency care are needed.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 today and we need your help to get there!

Any amount makes a HUGE difference for the horses! No donation is too small. In fact, if every one of our followers made a $1 donation, we could surpass our GivingTuesday goal by thousands.

What your support means for wild horses and burros

, , , , 0

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

Your unwavering support for the American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) is the powerhouse behind our work and will help set the stage for our ambitious 2024 agenda. We are committed to upholding America’s promise of freedom for wild horses and burros. And we’re doing just that through our work in the field, in the courts, and on Capitol Hill.

Today, we wanted to share with you how pivotal each donated dollar is to sustaining our lifesaving programs. But first, can we count on you to contribute and help us achieve our $100,000 Giving Tuesday goal? Act now and every donation before midnight will be matched, doubling your impact!

HAVE YOUR GIFT DOUBLED → DONATE NOW!

Meredith, every dollar you donate to the American Wild Horse Campaign is a catalyst for change in our work: 

  1. In-the-Wild Conservation:Not only does AWHC operate the world’s largest humane fertility control vaccine program for wild horses on Nevada’s Virginia Range, but this year we’ve taken steps to expand fertility control programs to other herds throughout the West. We’ve also recently acquired 3,300+ acres of prime habitat in Nevada’s beautiful Carson Valley to serve as a pilot program for our new Land Conservancy Project – an innovative program that aims to preserve and enhance habitat for America’s wild herds.
    2. Government Relations: Your contributions drive our advocacy for wild-horse-friendly legislation, such as the Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act of 2023, which would end cruel helicopter roundups, the Save America’s Forgotten Equines Act, which would finally ban the slaughter and export of equines for human consumption, and the Ejiao Act, which would help protect the global donkey population from slaughter.
    3. Investigations: With your help, we bring to light the reality of wild horse and burro roundups, expose holding facility conditions, and unveil the truth behind the Adoption Incentive Program, which is funneling hundreds, if not thousands, of mustangs and burros into the slaughter pipeline.
    4. Rescue: Your generosity enables us to support the direct rescue of wild horses and burros at risk of slaughter. We grant funds to our partner organizations, including for veterinary care and transport for horses and burros after they are rescued.
    5. Advocacy: We are bringing the issue of wild horse and burro protection into the mainstream by launching national awareness campaigns through the placement of billboards – including one in New York City’s Times Square through the holiday season – and through television and digital media ads, our celebrity ambassador program, and traditional media.
    6. And so much more.

None of this would be possible without supporters like you. You make this work a reality – and thanks to an incredible matching opportunity provided by one of our major donors, you have an opportunity to DOUBLE the impact we can make for wild horses and burros in all these different areas. Will you make a contribution before midnight and help us reach our $100,000 Giving Tuesday goal?

Thank you,

Chilly Pepper – IT’S GIVING TUESDAY! Will you help Chilly Pepper? Today we are honoring Warrior’s memory.

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

It’s GIVING TUESDAY, and I’m asking folks for help today, and for donations made to Honor our beautiful Warrior.

He is running free in heaven, and my heart is in a billion teeny, tiny pieces.

I love this photo of Warrior and Misty, as their time together was so very precious for both of them.

Sadly, there is never enough time to grieve, and I still need to raise funds to pay for the hay deliveries in NV and WA. The total will be approximately $2500, although it could be as high as $3000. The WA number is $1500.

Our vet bill is still in the thousands, and we have 5 more kittens to get altered.

3 of the older kittens went to an amazing new home, and Mama Donk and baby were adopted. The 2 mustang mares and the baby have also been adopted.

So things are going well, (not including the loss of Warrior.) But he is pain free and flying high.

I so thank God for the time I spent with him. What a gift he was.

THANK YOU, for helping our beautiful baby boy.

THANK YOU for your love and support for these precious souls, and for continuing to support this much needed work. I can’t do it without you!!!

This is it. Our absolute last chance to unlock the incredible $100,000 Giving Tuesday match. We urgently need your support.

A generous donor has pledged to match Giving Tuesday contributions to help us double our impact for wild horses and burros. However, there’s a catch – we must raise $35,000 before midnight tonight to unlock this generous match. 

Despite the incredible support we’ve received from wild horse advocates like you, we’re still falling short of our $35,000 goal. Time is running out and we can’t afford to miss this opportunity.

We’re reaching out to you because you share our passion for protecting wild horses and burros. Can you please rush a donation to help us unlock this 2X match opportunity? Your contribution, no matter the amount, will go straight toward continuing our vital mission.

At the American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC), our dedicated team is tirelessly working in the courts, in Congress, and in the field to ensure that wild horses and burros are protected in the wild where they belong. Just this month, we shared the impactful story of our work during the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) roundup in the Roberts Mountain Complex in Nevada, where we took decisive action to document and report what would otherwise go unseen.

Your support makes a tangible difference. By chipping in before Giving Tuesday, you can double your impact for wild horses and burros. >>

During the Roberts Mountain roundup, our humane observers were on the ground every single day, documenting this heartbreaking operation. When the roundup was over, 858 wild horses had been captured, and 10 horses were killed.

AWHC was determined to ensure that this loss of freedom and life would not occur out of public view. We shared photos and footage online, reaching over 400,000 people. We also worked with the Las Vegas Sun on a story about the consequences of our government’s inhumane management practices. Our goal: amplify growing public opposition and generate critical public support for reform.

But our work doesn’t stop there. Our advocacy team mobilized thousands of people, generating over 24,000 messages to the BLM and to Congress, demanding transparency and accountability to effect real change.

Every step of the way, AWHC is committed to documenting, sharing, and mobilizing people to protect wild horses and burros. But we can’t do it without your help. 

With this matching opportunity so close to being unlocked, we can’t risk falling short. So we’re asking you to step up for wild horses and burros. Will you please chip in any amount to help us raise the $35,000 we need to unlock the 2X Giving Tuesday match?

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

A mare and her foal stand side by side and the graphic reads: Thank You!

From all of us here at the American Wild Horse Campaign, I want to thank you for making this Giving Tuesday one of our most successful ever! 

When we asked you to step up for wild horses and burros on our biggest fundraising day of the year, you responded with the generosity and passion that defines this incredible community.

Thanks to you, not only did we hit yesterday’s $100,000 goal — we exceeded it! 

Your generosity helped us to raise a record-breaking amount to continue fighting to keep America’s horses and burros wild and free on the public lands they call home.

Meredith: I want you to know how deeply grateful we are for your support. I hope you will celebrate this amazing success with us and know just how important you are to our growing herd.

The hard work is unfortunately never over, but together we are a force to be reckoned with, and more powerful every day because of your commitment to our cause.

Your generosity this Giving Tuesday will go far in 2023 as we:

  • Rescue more victims of the Adoption Incentive Program (AIP);
  • Expand our public awareness campaign;
  • Battle the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in court over the AIP and prepare for other legal challenges;
  • Expand our precedent-setting humane fertility control program to other key herds across the West;
  • Lobby and secure legislative victories like the $11 million in BLM funding towards reversible fertility control;
  • Push for the passage of important wild horse protection legislation, like the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Protection Act of 2022;
  • And so much more!

There will be more battles ahead in 2023, but for now, Meredith — THANK YOU again for your incredible generosity and support this Giving Tuesday.

An Unusual Giving Tuesday …

Unusual Giving Tuesday For SYA

Many of you have asked about the progress on regaining our non profit status. We’ve been working diligently to get it back. It’s been quite an uphill battle and is proving much more difficult than we anticipated. Here’s where we are; written by our secretary and new treasurer, Jean Cross.

This summer SYALER received a notice no nonprofit wants to hear. Our nonprofit status had been revoked due to the required 990s not being filed for three consecutive years. This came as a surprise to all of us. Our bookkeeper was sure she had filed at least the 2019 one, and we had copies of that file, which seemed to prove that. However, the IRS did not have any record of it and did not have any way of accepting it on its own at this late date. So, we were left to do the work and reconstruct the books for years. Our bookkeeper had gone silent. It may have just been too much for her to handle, we may never know. Our board being as small and tight as it is, jumped in to fill the gap. Bank accounts got new signers, QuickBooks got reconciled, and cash flow reports were run. This took a lot of time, as we had to recreate back to the beginning of 2019. The 990s were finished and mailed as of 11/21/2022. The required 1023 was filed on 11/20/2022. Now we wait. It could take as long as 18 months. Hopefully it won’t, but we have asked what do we do in the meantime?

This is what we do. We rally around the long ears. That is what we are all about. We have done what we can to make the IRS happy. When they reinstate our account, it will be reinstated back to the date they revoked it. All donations will still be tax deductible. This means, all of us will continue to work at what we do best. Hannah, Lauren and Laura will be seeing to the care of the farm and animals. Ann being our grounding support, Jean will be seeing to the books and reports, Elise will be supporting us by being our voice of reason.

We have taken in some animals this fall that have needed a lot of medical care, we are getting calls from people who need to surrender their animals to us before the worst of winter gets here. All that cost’s money. That is where you can help them, and us. Don’t be afraid of the punch to gut we received; we are more than that. You all have supported us through so much over the years. We are asking for that support again. The organizations that have graciously supported us in the past may not be able to until our paperwork comes back which means we will need the support of all you a little more this year then we have in the past. Please consider us when you plan your giving Tuesday/ year-end gift giving. The long ears thank you, and we as the board thank you.

Sincerely,

Ann Firestone

Thank you for supporting AAE on Giving Tuesday this year!

Because of you, we were able to raise over $13,000 for the horses and exceed our goal! We are humbled by the love you’ve shown for our horses. 

The AAE community is always so supportive and wonderful, but we were blown away by everyone’s generosity yesterday. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! We are grateful to be part of a community who is committed to helping horses-in-need.

 

This Giving Tuesday, let’s keep wild horses and burros WILD >>

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

Giving Tuesday is finally here — and this year we’ve set ourmost ambitious Giving Tuesday fundraising goal EVER! 

Thanks to the help of generous AWHC supporters like you, we’ve unlocked our Giving Tuesday 2X Match, and now every single donation made today will be DOUBLED!

HAVE YOUR GIFT DOUBLED → DONATE NOW!

We’ve set a goal to raise $100,000 before midnight tonight to fuel our fight for wild horses and burros as we head into 2023. 

This might seem like a lofty goal, but Giving Tuesday is our MOST critical fundraising day of the entire year, and with the enormous challenges facing these cherished animals, we will need to come out of the gates in 2023 ready to fight.

Can you help kickstart our Giving Tuesday fundraising with a donation to AWHC right now?

HAVE YOUR GIFT DOUBLED → DONATE NOW!

Over the last two years, our Investigations Team has uncovered that the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) failed Adoption Incentive Program (AIP) has become a mechanism for nefarious people to launder wild horses and burros into the slaughter pipeline. Since we launched our investigation, our team has documented over 1,100 once-wild mustangs and burros in kill pens and slaughter auctions across the country.

That’s why we’re dedicating a portion of all the funds raised today to the countless innocent victims of the AIP.

Despite this evidence, top BLM officials went on record at the most recent Advisory Board meeting claiming that: “There is no credible information” showing horses or burros are being sent to slaughter as a result of the AIP.

This denial of truth is made all the more outrageous because our irrefutableevidence resulted in an explosive front-page New York Times exposé, ignited public outrage, and prompted Congress to take action calling for an investigation into the AIP.

In fact, our Congressional champions were so outraged that they made sure the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Protection Act of 2022 would ban the use of cash incentives for wild horse and burro adoptions! It’s time for the BLM to listen to reason and put an end to the AIP cash incentives that are sending these animals into the slaughter pipeline — and we’re not giving up until they do.

So, this Giving Tuesday, will you make a 2X Matched donation now to fuel our work to keep wild horses wild and away from traumatic helicopter roundups, out of overcrowded holding pens, and safe from the AIP’s slaughter pipeline?

HAVE YOUR GIFT DOUBLED → DONATE NOW!

Thank you for your help, Meredith, and for caring so much about the lives of these magnificent animals.

Give Hope to Horses like Granger for #GivingTuesday

Today is Giving Tuesday! 

Together we can give more horses a second chance

for a healthy, happy future and a life of love!

Horses like Granger.

Granger came to AAE in July 2022 after an animal control intervention to a neglect situation. He was malnourished, having to fight for food in a herd of eight other much younger horses.

Once at AAE, he was started on a refeeding program with soaked alfalfa pellets, and he received long overdue dental and vet care, including vaccines and a microchip. He also saw the farrier for a much needed hoof trim. Over the past several months, Granger’s weight and overall health has improved.

Granger is looking for his forever home. This 30 year old sweetheart was used on a ranch for trail rides in his previous life, but is now best suited as non-riding companion horse.

He is easy going, and well mannered (as long as food isn’t involved). He does well in a herd environment (as long as he is fed separately to assure he gets what he needs). His ground manners are generally good, he’s good with the farrier, and he loads and trailers well.

If you are interested in learning more about Granger to see if he’s a good fit, please visit our website.

We are incredibly grateful to have supporters like you so we can continue improving the lives of horses like Granger, one life at a time.

Our goal is to raise $7,500 today and at least $25,000 this holiday season. We need your help to reach that goal. Any gifts would be greatly appreciated as we move into and through 2023 to assure that together we can continue to do what we do.

Introducing two new gals!

, , , , , 0

This is an update from All About Equine Rescue.

All About Equine Animal Rescue, Inc.

Time for a quick intro…

Meet our two new donkeys, Loretta and Lainey!

First, we would like to apologize. It’s been so busy that we’re behind with our news! We welcomed two donkeys to AAE last month. These ladies came from a family who offered to care for them temporarily to help a friend who was going through a divorce. The friend got the donks for free on Craigslist. The friend moved out of state, and the donks were left behind. The family didn’t have any equine experience and could not afford to provide for them. Their owner said to find them a new home.

Sadly, Loretta, the beautiful brown gal with the long amber mane, is aged, malnourished, and her hooves are in very bad shape. Needless to say, she’s quite arthritic, too. The gray donk, Lainey, is obese, and she has two large hernias from a spay-job gone bad. They are both ever so sweet, and they hold no grudges to humans.

It sounds like they’d never had any veterinary care or hoof care, either. More to come soon. Prayers for Loretta that we can improve her comfort level.

Gabby Update!

Hurdles continue for our sweet Gabby! Her hoof abscesses have been relentless. Just when we thought we were over the hump, imagine three hoof abscesses at once. She’s a fighter, and we know she’s a winner!

When we picked up Gabby earlier this year, her hooves had been trimmed the day before. They looked like pancakes. She was very flat footed, and her heels were very far forward. Lest forget starvation, chronic sinus infection, painful eye infections, bloodwork, radiographs, dental, surgery, drain tube, Cushing’s disease, medications. She’s ready for a break, and it looks like we’re slowly getting to a good place, again. Send this girl some love.

Elliott Update!

This lil’ character had to go in for urgent surgery a few weeks ago, as his sheath reconfiguration was healing so well, it wanted to close again. Fortunately, this time the surgeon was able to modify the sheath again and go on a treasure hunt. Good news, he found two healthy jewels, and they were not hidden too deep so he got ’em! Now we definitively have a young gelding. Better news, Elliott is healing well, he’s urinating well, and soon he’ll soon be leading a nearly normal life thanks to all of your support. He sends an enormous thank you to all of you!
