MONROE & KINSEY
Yesterday was an exciting day at AAE. Monroe and Kinsey went to their forever home, together! They became pals when they were moved to the same pasture a few months ago. We couldn’t be happier!
MONROE
Monroe is a sassy and confident two-year old reservation mustang that came to AAE with friend, Miles, at the end of December 2023 through collaboration with another organization. The pair had been with a foster who didn’t have experience with mustangs, and no other fosters were able to step in.
When she arrived, she was untouchable, and she hadn’t had any hoof or dental care. Just a baby herself, she lost a foal sometime prior to arrival, too. Not long after she learned to trust and accept a halter, she went on to further her education with three other AAE horses at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center (MRILC).
She participated as a student project in their spring Advance Course of Horsemanship. There, she went through the starting process: trust building, introducing tack, including a surcingle, longlining, and a saddle introduction. Back at AAE, she settled in with her human friends, then she was moved to a bigger pasture with new horse friends, including Kinsey. Monroe enjoyed her herd, and we could see her confidence grow every day!
This sweet and gorgeous gal came a long way since her arrival, and we are so proud of her!
KINSEY
Kinsey is a sweet ~2-1/2 year old, grade filly. She came to AAE (with her friends, Elvie and Sage) as a foster through law enforcement. The trio had been picked up as strays. When no one came forward to claim any of them by the end of their holding period, they were transferred to AAE.
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 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 and Monroe buddied up with a few of the other fillies, and they thoroughly enjoyed being horses living among humans!
We’re so excited for what the future holds for these two, and we look forward to hearing about their new life and progress into adulthood!
