We’re Rockin’ and Jelly Rollin’ Around the Christmas Tree
The following is from All About Equine Rescue:
As we count down to 2024, join us every day this month as we share stories from the barn that show how your support has helped horses this year and every year.
Jelly Roll may be short, but he’s not short on the holiday spirit!
JELLY ROLL
Jelly Roll is a ~2011 mini mule. He had several violent incidents with his family’s goat herd and needed a new home, so in June 2023, he came to AAE.
He quickly adjusted to his new life and routine. He loves to frolic and play with his mini herdmates. He also loves to eat! He has even moved panels and fencing to try to sample some of his friends’ food.
His stylish and spunky locks are also giving Flame some competition for the best mini mane!
Jelly Roll quickly became a volunteer favorite with his charming and sweet personality! His cuteness only had a little to do with it. He appreciates a good grooming session, and he loves to be doted on. That’s why he makes the perfect ambassador for AAE! He is now an AAE program mini, and he will help new and youth volunteers, and he’ll participate in other future programs.
As we wind down the year, our goal is to raise at least $35,000 this holiday season to jump start our funding for the new year and make sure 2024 is merry & bright for horses-in-need.
Like you, we have felt the pressure of the changing economy. Hay, fuel, supplies, and other care costs have increased substantially. The effects are compounded for nonprofits across the country, as many of us have seen a decrease in overall donations. Rising costs and fewer donations are stretching us thin, impacting our ability to serve the number of horses we typically serve. We’ll scale back as we need. We need your support more than ever.
On average, it costs about $8 per horse each day for feed and health care for the horses at AAE. Expenses add up quickly when caring for 50+/- horses and other animals, including costs for basic care, diagnostics, treatments, medications, surgery, and emergency care, when needed.
We know your lives have been impacted, too, we’re all in this together. If you’re able, please consider making a year end donation to support this life-saving work and make it possible to help more horses-in-need.
Expenses can add up quickly, but your donations can, too! If every one of our followers made a $5 donation, we could surpass our goal by thousands.
You can help make similar stories to share next year by donating today. Any amount is very much appreciated, and it makes a big difference for the horses.
