A Little October Magic
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:
October brought a little bit of everything to AAE! We welcomed a new face to the herd, caught up with two of our newer arrivals, and celebrated a happy adoption. From fresh starts and healing to a happily-ever-after, there’s been plenty to share this month!
Grab your favorite fall treat, get cozy, and catch up on all the latest AAE news!
INTRODUCING MACKEY!
Mackey is a 15+ year-old stallion who came to AAE through a nearby law enforcement agency after he was found wandering along a railroad, severely underweight and depleted. He was picked up as a stray, but sadly, his person didn’t come forward to claim him.
Mackey is severely emaciated, and his road to recovery will take time, patience, and plenty of care. For now, our priority is helping him regain strength and safely put on weight.
We’re following a careful refeeding program consistent with UC Davis guidelines for malnourished horses. Once Mackey is in better physical condition and feeling stronger, we can begin addressing his other needs, including dental and hoof care, vaccinations, deworming, a microchip, and eventually, castration. Given his current condition, we want to allow his body time to stabilize before considering sedation.We’re following a careful refeeding program consistent with UC Davis guidelines for malnourished horses.

Despite everything he’s been through, Mackey has already shown us what a gentleman he can be. He haltered, led, and loaded willingly when we picked him up. He traveled well and unloaded like a champ. He has a very mild-mannered disposition, and we’re hopeful that sweet nature will shine even brighter as he regains his health and strength.
Now, Mackey needs us in his corner.
Will you help us give Mackey the care and time he needs to recover?
