Every horse has a story, and we want you to know theirs.
This October, we’re sharing the story of a sweet girl who just might be the perfect pick-me-up. We’ll take a closer look at where she came from, who she is today, and what kind of home might be the right fit for her.
By spotlighting one horse at a time, we hope you’ll get to know them beyond their adoption bio, and maybe discover a horse who catches your eye, or someone you know who could be their perfect match.
So grab your coffee and get to know this sweet girl…
COFFEY
Coffey, an approximately 25-year-old Arabian mare, arrived at AAE in late January 2026 after her elderly owners found themselves facing significant health and financial challenges. Saying goodbye to a horse they loved was not an easy decision, but surrendering Coffey gave them peace of mind that she would have the care, stability, and attention she needed.
Once she and completed quarantine and settled in at AAE, it was time to get Coffey caught up on some of the basics. She enjoyed a few well-earned spa days, including a hoof trim, dental care, vaccines, and deworming, she got a microchip. She was in good physical condition overall and has continued to do well.

Coffey is sweet, she’s sassy, and she has girlie opinions she’s not shy about sharing. She can be easy to handle and was good for the farrier, but she’s also a forward, higher-energy mare who likes to keep things interesting.
We were told Coffey was well-trained under saddle in her younger years, but she hasn’t been ridden for several years. We’re getting ready to see what she remembers, as we carefully begin reintroducing her to a saddle. That said, she has an arthritic knee, so she won’t be suitable as a regular riding horse. We’re hoping she has potential as a leadline “pony” for occasional littles to learn how amazing horses are. Perfect world, she’ll be a special non-riding companion to someone to share her horse smells and horse therapy for the rest of her days.
If you sound like a good match for Coffey, we’d love to hear from you! You can fill out our Adoption Inquiry form to get started.
Even if you can’t adopt, you can still help! Please share Coffey’s story with someone who might be willing and able to open their heart and home to her! Considersponsoring Coffey or another one of our AAE horses.
