Happy Hearts from AAE!
This is an update from All About Equine Rescue. All About Equine Animal Rescue, Inc. BRODIE Brodie is a very handsome 2009 (est) Appy gelding. He arrived at AAE with pasture-mate, senior mare, Kyrie, in March 2021 when their owner was moving cross-country. The new home she arranged for them fell through at the last minute, and she reached out to AAE. Brodie lived with Kyrie in a large pasture, and he enjoyed following her lead, though he wasn't too sure he wanted to follow her into the trailer when it was time to leave, though he did. Once at AAE, his teeth and hoof care were updated, and he received vaccines, deworming, and microchip. This sweet guy was big and athletic, but he was like the cowardly lion. His confidence came from his ol' gal pal. If he wasn't with her, there was a bit of a crisis. He would get mighty anxious and nearly lose his mind. Over time, his confidence has grown, and he's evolving into a bit of a gentle giant. Brodie is a beauty as you can see. He's also a big sweetheart. He's got the looks, the body, and the brain is coming along. Before our move, Brodie spent time with a trainer (on his own) building his confidence and learning new things. Besides basic groundwork, he was introduced to a saddle. Though he looked mighty handsome, and he tried hard to understand and do what was being asked, it was really hard. He needed more confidence to carry a rider, so we gave him more time. Brodie lives comfortably in the middle of a herd of ten with no major issues. He's neither dominant nor a pushover. He can be pulled out of pasture without a meltdown now for handling, grooming, or work ...
Chilly Pepper – Another horse dumped on Hwy 97, heartbreak and some desperately needed repairs on the vehicles
The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: It's been quite the couple of weeks. Above you see Lenny, our latest Hwy 97 rescue. Lenny came in late at night after being dumped in the same place as Trooper and Smokey. He apparently spent a night out there before I got him, and was HIT BY A VEHICLE. I have no idea if it was the 1st night or not, or how long he suffered after being hit. However, it is clear he had been suffering for some time with his cancer. He had broken glass all over him, and you can clearly see he was split open on his hindquarters. Lenny was the sweetest and most beautiful soul ever. He planted his head on me and begged for help. Doc had me give him Banamine to see if we could ease his pain enough to properly assess his injuries. As you can also see he had penile cancer and had it for a VERY long time. It was excruciating for him, and was spreading internally which is why Doc thought he was starving. After he got the banamine he could finally urinate. It was obviously extremely painful and clear that he had not done so for a very long time. You could see the relief through the pain as he emptied what seemed like gallons from his bladder. Sadly, with the extent of how far the cancer had spread and being hit and old, Doc said the best thing for him was to end his suffering. We talked about amputation, but that would be horrific for him and with the cancer and injuries from being hit, it would be stupid and cruel. I was so desperate to be able to help him. So we had to let him go to end his suffering. I didn't have ...

Dakota’s Story!
This is an update from All About Equine Rescue. All About Equine Animal Rescue, Inc. Dakota Dakota is a tribal mustang originally from the Dakotas. We first met him in the fall of 2021 when we picked him up from a distressed sanctuary. He's a little guy, mid-teens, and we were told he'd been ridden in the past. This handsome gelding was fearful of humans in general, but he really did not like it when anyone approached him from the side or behind too quickly. He also had painful heel cracks that closely approached his coronet bands. Dakota's basic care had been neglected for some time. Once at AAE, his hoof and dental care needs were met, and he received vaccines, deworming, and a microchip. During an exam, his concerns for people approaching from the left side and behind were discovered. He cannot see out of his left eye because the lens is detached. Dakota is a very sweet, social guy. He seeks attention and enjoys grooming and interaction. He's good with the vet and farrier. He loads fairly well, and travels fine. Dakota was introduced to a saddle, and he handled it well. He thoroughly enjoys his time in the pasture with his herdmates. However, he has a pull back issue when trying to remove him from his herd. When he's brought in with one of his herdmates, he does very well. When handled and once removed from herd, he does well. Removing him alone is still a work in progress. While we've loved spending time with the darling Dakota, we'd love it even more if he could find his forever person! If you think Dakota sounds like a match made in heaven, please visit his bio to learn more and submit an adoption inquiry. Can't adopt but want ...
Chilly Pepper – Starving horses are here! We picked up all 20 horses. Now the work begins.
The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: UPDATE - We have successfully pulled ALL 20 (not 18) horses in this rescue. THANK YOU MY CHILLY PEPPER FAMILY! AS ALWAYS, YOU ROCK!! Now the real work begins. With the good news comes sad as well. We had to say goodbye to Dusty, (one of the severely starved colts.) Doc had to end Dusty's suffering as he was experiencing severe seizures to the point he couldn't even stand up. Snowman was suffering and after spending the night at the hospital Doc said it was time. Starvation is one of the most painful ways to die. It is excruciating and being starved will damage the organs where they often cannot be repaired. Both left with full bellies, knowing they were loved. So now the rehab and rehoming begin. I still need to get this last group vetted so they can travel when they are healthy enough. I so appreciate all the love and support. We need lots & lots of hay, lol. With all these mouths to feed it's gonna get interesting. They will all need grain, supplements etc. BASIN FEED - 509-773-4648 if you want to help with feed. Doc's number is 509-773-0369 if you want to help with the vet bill. Thank you for your continued help with these precious lives. I know God keeps sending us lots of emergencies, BUT IT IS TRULY LIFE AND DEATH for these horses. It is not just grabbing the cute ones, or the easy ones, or creating orphans so you can fundraise. It is stepping up and figuring out how to do the impossible. YOU, MY CHILLY PEPPER FAMILY, are the ones who do that. YOU are doing the real rescue for the horses with no other options. Let's do it again. These horses are absolutely precious and deserve every good ...
