Welcome back to The Road to Home, our monthly spotlight on adoptable horses. Each month, we introduce you to one of the incredible horses in our care who’s waiting for a place (and a person) to call their own. You’ll discover what makes them special and the kind of home where they can truly thrive.
No matter how or why you are here–adopting, supporting, or simply showing love–thank you for being part of their story.
This month, meet…
JULIETTE
Juliette is a beautiful young Arabian filly, estimated to be about four years old. Her journey to AAE began after law enforcement intervened in a heartbreaking neglect case.
In late 2023, officers discovered a group of 24 horses had been left behind on a high desert property without food or care. With winter approaching and the horses in deteriorating condition, authorities began providing care, but, sadly, it was too late for some.
By February 2024, the herd was officially seized, and the following month, we stepped in to assist, taking in 15 of the horses, including mares with foals, young fillies, and one colt who was born shortly after the seizure.
Juliette was among them. She arrived scared, thin, and timid. She was often pushed away from food by the others, even with multiple feeders in the paddocks. But despite it all, she yearned for connection. With patience and gentle care, she began to open up.
Today, this once-shy girl is blossoming. She halters and leads well, and while she’s still gaining confidence with the farrier, she improves with every visit. She’s been introduced to a flag, saddle pad, and saddle, and she has taken everything in stride with courage and curiosity.
Juliette is ready for a home of her own. She’s seeking a horse-savvy adopter who can appreciate her sweet, kind soul and continue to help her build trust and confidence. She needs more time to grow and develop physically before beginning any demanding activity.
If you sound like a good match for Juliette, 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 Juliette’s story with someone who might be ready to open their heart and home.
