Turn the Page on 2024
The following is from All About Equine Rescue:
Happy New Year! It’s that exciting time of year for new beginnings, reflections, and resolutions. At All About Equine Animal Rescue (AAE), we’re eagerly turning the page to a new chapter, one filled with renewed dedication to our mission of providing second chances for a healthy and loving life to horses and animals who have fallen victim to unfortunate circumstances.
In December, we showcased some of our most current equine stories. These were stories of hope, resilience, determination, and new beginnings. With your continued support, AAE can continue to grow and expand upon this important work.
One way to help is to consider making a legacy gift to AAE in your estate plan. Estate gifts have been instrumental in AAE’s growth, including the purchase and development of AAE’s new rescue facilities, increasing our sustainability, and enabling us to help more horses in the long term. Creating a will or irrevocable living trust (trust) and leaving a portion of your estate to a nonprofit organization such as AAE creates a legacy for those causes you are passionate about. It can also provide substantial tax savings.
AAE has partnered with FreeWill to provide a free, easy-to-use online platform where you can create a will or trust in a short amount of time.
Several of our December stories told of horses who came to AAE because of an owner’s death, declining health, or incapacity, and they had nowhere else to go. As a responsible animal owner, it’s important to include animal trust provisions as part of your estate plan. This ensures that your animal family members have a safe place to go in the event of an unexpected death or health issue. Without such planning, animals, especially horses, often face uncertain futures. It is also important to communicate in advance with a potential guardian, whether a person or organization, to confirm their willingness to serve and their financial ability to care for your animals. Establishing an animal trust and designating a guardian in your estate plan ensures immediate and continuous care for your animals. Our trusted partner, FreeWill, provides an option to include animal trust provisions in your estate plan.

So, as we embrace 2024, let’s turn the page together to a brighter future — not just for us, but for our equine friends. By planning ahead and including a gift to AAE in your estate plan, you’re helping us to continue our work of rescue and rehabilitation, creating a legacy that will impact lives for generations to come.
As always, we appreciate your unwavering commitment to our mission and thank you for considering this important step.
Warmly,
Wendy Digiorno
Executive Director, All About Equine Animal Rescue
