AAE Friends, Supporters, & Service Providers
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!
KINSEY, SAGE, & ELVIE
Kinsey, Sage, and Elvie came to AAE as fosters after being picked up as strays by law enforcement. When no one came forward to claim any of them by the end of their holding period, the three girls were transferred to AAE
KINSEY
Kinsey is a sweet ~2-1/2 year old, grade filly. Upon arrival, Kinsey was thin and had a large, old, open laceration over a hind fetlock. Her wound had been treated by a veterinarian before arriving, but there was still a wide gash with granulation tissue (proud flesh). After extended treatment and bandaging, her wound healed. She has not shown any signs of lameness while at AAE. Dr. Stolba reexamined her and was happy with her progress.
Kinsey is easy going, sweet, and uncomplicated. She was a bit aloof when she arrived, but she learned to enjoy her human friends in no time. She also graduated to a big pasture, and she became friends with a few other fillies.
A few months ago, Kinsey and AAE BFF Monroe (we shared her storylast week) were adopted together!
SAGE
Sage is a 2007 (est) grade mare. Shortly after arrival, we discovered a nail in Sage’s hoof. Fortunately, radiographs indicated the nail did not penetrate any important structures. The nail was removed and her hoof was treated without any significant damage. (Always wait for your vet and radiographs before pulling a nail out of the hoof so you can see how deep it is, what direction it goes, and whether any damage is done!). Sage got lucky, and so did we.
Sage is sweet, mild mannered, and pretty. She loves grooming and spending time with humans. During her time at AAE, Sage worked under saddle a few times, and she was an easy-going ride.
ELVIE
Elvie, a 2009 (est) grade mare, had long hooves and underrun heels. Radiographs showed a very long toe and negative palmar angle. Thankfully, she didn’t have any other significant issues. With corrective trimming, she felt so much better! Despite her discomfort, this girl was still so sweet, and even more sweet once her hooves were correct.
Elvie is easy to halter and lead, enjoys grooming, comes in easily from the pasture, and is mild-mannered. And those are just a few of her qualities. She is truly a gem of a horse!
Sage and Elvie had the perfect ending to their AAE story, together! They were both adopted by AAE Shift Lead volunteer Traci!
