Equine Rescues

The following is from All About Equine Rescue: MILES & MONROE Miles and Monroe are both reservation mustangs who came to AAE at the end of December 2023 through collaboration with another organization. The pair had been with a foster family who didn’t have much experience with mustangs. They were unhandled, and, as a result, they had not received any vet care, vaccines, or hoof care. There was no adoption interest, they weren’t making any forward progress with gentling, and there wasn’t another foster who could take them. The organization approached AAE with a request to transfer. Thankfully, we had a several adoptions at the end of the year, which gave us the opportunity to help these two youngsters. Miles is a stud colt, who will be gelded when he is more handleable. Monroe is a filly, both about 2 years old. Monroe miscarried an estimated four-month-old fetus shortly after she was rescued (yes, at not even two years old). They are both making progress with handling, and we're looking forward to sharing their progress. Miles and Monroe are not ready for adoption just yet, but in the meantime, they needs a sponsor (or a team of sponsors) to help support their care costs. Learn more and sign up here.

The following is from All About Equine Rescue: With this special leap year unfolding, it’s a wonderful time to leap into action and start (or update) your estate planning!

The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: ANOTHER CALL I received a call today for this beautiful "SENIOR PONY" He is in his 20's, and has a few health issues. He needs his lil hoofers done, special feed and has to have some teeth pulled right away. He has had some damage to his coffin bone, (it's lightly rotated, but the vet said with proper care he should have another 10 years or so.) He will be a permanent part of our Chilly Pepper Family and a star in our Sunshine and Smiles Program. Will you help Grandpa Sonny? As you can see he is a long way from ready to quit. Several folks thought he should be euthanized, but luckily he had an advocate who saw him for who he was and said no. He will need to be assessed further by Doc, and have his dental work done asap. We know, from the Vet who checked him out two days ago, that he needs at least 2 teeth pulled along with some additional dental care. We need funds for his transportation, (approximately $650), funds for his initial vetting, hoof trims, meds and to get his teeth done. We also need to purchase special low carb feed and hay for him. WILL YOU PLEASE HELP US GET GRANDPA SONNY HOME TO CHILLY PEPPER? Thank you so much for being part of our Chilly Pepper Family.

The following is from All About Equine Rescue: Meet Miss Lillie Mae! She is an adorable 8-10 year old jenny who came to AAE after auction and through Auction Horses Rescue. She completed quarantine (standard protocol for new intakes), and now, she is now being doted on daily. We don’t know much about her past, but her hoof care has been neglected for a long time, and she's had intermittent lameness. So, we had Dr. Stolba out for radiographs early to evaluate. She's very clubby and appears to have contracted tendons. Thanksfully, it's not a laminitis/founder issue. She is a bit resistant to hoof handling and farrier care, and because of the tendon issues, we're taking it slow (baby steps). Fortunately, she had her first trim (and deworming), and she's looking so much better already. Lillie Mae is scheduled for her dental, vaccines, and microchip next week. Lillie Mae is very sweet, and we are eager to get to know her better. She has the cutest ears, the cutest face, and the cutest bray! Admit it, she's simply cute, cute, cute! Lillie Mae enjoyed some peanut butter for National Peanut Butter Day today! She was one of the few from the entire herd who actually liked it! Lillie Mae is not ready for adoption just yet, but in the meantime, she needs a sponsor (or a team of sponsors) to help support her care costs. Learn more and sign up here. Your donations, volunteering, adopting, and social media shares & likes really do make a difference and make all of this work possible! Thanks for your gracious and continued support of AAE!

The following is from All About Equine Rescue: All About Equine Animal Rescue, Inc. A RAGS TO RICHES STORY: WHISKEY It's only been a couple of weeks since we told Whiskey's story, but we are so proud of the progress this guy is making, we need to give him another update!! Whiskey is truly going to be a rags to riches story; as a matter of fact, he already is. (Don't miss his video, below). Whiskey came to AAE through a nearby law enforcement situation. He is an estimated early-teen Arabian gelding. He was a stallion when he arrived, and he was a difficult one at that. He'd been neglected, beaten/abused, and despite his former family's attempts to rehome him, no one wanted Whiskey. He was tied with a rope around his neck, and he walked in circles for years. They said no one was able to halter him, and he was mean. When we picked him up, he accepted a halter fairly easily, though being at the end of a rope made it much easier. He was hesitant, but given a little time, he loaded into the trailer willingly. He knew he was going somewhere better. The easy was short lived. Once at AAE, he turned into a bit of a "donkey". He snarled his nostrils and lips, he pinned his ears, and he charged with intent at anyone approaching him or his food. Likewise, walking a horse anywhere nearby triggered him. He was a bit of a beast. It was understandable, but far from appropriate behavior. It's not often we say dangerous, but he was, and he was truly one strike away from euthanasia. Euthanasia isn't something we take lightly. We've never euthanized a horse for dangerous behavior, and this was only the second time it was seriously ...
