On the 1st Day of Christmas, Allie’s asking Santa for a person of her own

The following is from All About Equine Rescue: It's time for our favorite holiday tradition! 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. Without further ado, our first story... ALLIE AAE welcomed Allie and several other horses from a distressed mustang sanctuary in 2020. Allie is still here waiting for her forever home! Allie is a very senior mustang mare (est DOB 2000) who lived in a small paddock in captivity for many years. Her basic care had been neglected after long time sanctuary operators fell into poor health. When she arrived, Allie was thin, and her hooves were long. She had a mass over her left ribcage from an old recurrent cyst and scars on her hind legs from a previous skin issue. They tried to remove the cyst three times, but it was persistent and kept returning. Allie was very untrusting and evasive with humans, but she tried hard to understand what was asked. She has warmed up to humans over the years, and she enjoys grooming, but she is still unsure and unconfident, at times. Her hind legs are sensitive to the touch because of her scars, and she still needs to be sedated for hind hoof trims. She's also very defensive/protective of any touch around the cyst area. In consultation with our vet, we decided not to pursue another attempt to remove the cyst because of her age, her trust issues, and the recurrent nature of the cyst. There appears to be a lot of adhesions to her ribcage, and it would be a difficult process, unlikely to succeed. As far as we know, she was never started under saddle, and with ...

Give Hope to Horses like Sierra for #GivingTuesday!

The following is from All About Equine Rescue: GIVINGTUESDAY For nearly 15 years, we have worked together to transform the lives of hundreds of horses. Today, we can continue to give more horses a second chance at a healthy, happy, and love-filled life, and you can make it happen! Horses like Sierra. Sierra was one of AAE's first horses. In 2009 she was rescued from a feedlot with two foals. One was her own, and the other was an orphaned foal whom she had taken as her own while at the feedlot. Thankfully, we were able to provide the soft landing they needed. Sierra was emaciated and weak. Despite being little more than skin and bones, and though she was tired and depleted, Sierra never gave up on her boys. She allowed both to nurse enough to keep them alive. She had likely been a broodmare, and she had little, if any, handling. Sierra was full of parasites, and her feet were tender because of huge abscesses in her neglected hooves. Even more sadly, shortly after her arrival, she delivered a stillborn foal. Despite her rough beginning, Sierra made progress, albeit slowly. She gained weight, her steps improved, and she eventually learned to trust more. Our volunteers loved her and wanted to keep this brave, stoic, and loving mom safe forever, so she became a sanctuary resident. Her boys were adopted to their adoring humans, and over the years, Sierra has continued to share her maternal side with younger horses who come to AAE. She shows them proper horse behavior and loves them as her own. Now she spends her days in pasture with Barney by her side. Sierra is here today because people cared enough to give her a second chance at a good life On average, it costs ...

Chilly Pepper – IT’S GIVING TUESDAY! Will you help Chilly Pepper? Today we are honoring Warrior’s memory.

The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: It's GIVING TUESDAY, and I'm asking folks for help today, and for donations made to Honor our beautiful Warrior. He is running free in heaven, and my heart is in a billion teeny, tiny pieces. I love this photo of Warrior and Misty, as their time together was so very precious for both of them. Sadly, there is never enough time to grieve, and I still need to raise funds to pay for the hay deliveries in NV and WA. The total will be approximately $2500, although it could be as high as $3000. The WA number is $1500. Our vet bill is still in the thousands, and we have 5 more kittens to get altered. 3 of the older kittens went to an amazing new home, and Mama Donk and baby were adopted. The 2 mustang mares and the baby have also been adopted. So things are going well, (not including the loss of Warrior.) But he is pain free and flying high. I so thank God for the time I spent with him. What a gift he was. THANK YOU, for helping our beautiful baby boy. THANK YOU for your love and support for these precious souls, and for continuing to support this much needed work. I can't do it without you!!!
