The People Behind AAE
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue: September is here, and with it comes the start of a busy fall season at AAE! From caring for our horses at the ranch to helping at outreach events, and taking on all the behind-the-scenes tasks that keep things moving, our volunteers make so much of what we do possible. This month, we’re shining the spotlight on a couple more of the incredible people who give their time, energy, and heart to AAE. We’re grateful for everything our volunteers do, and for the difference they make in the lives of the horses and animals in our care. Meet Ashley B.! AAE Volunteer for 1.5 years! What do you do as an AAE Volunteer? Shift Lead/ Love all of the animals What do you love about AAE and/or volunteering at AAE? I love making relationships with the animals and seeing all of their personalities come out. Who is your favorite AAE horse and why? Clyde will always be my favorite. One eye’d Clyde and I formed a bond at a time that I needed it, and I will never forget him. Glad he’s been adopted to a loving home. But I still think about him often, and I’m grateful for his love! What would you say to someone considering volunteering with AAE? If you love animals… DO IT. If you are sad… DO IT. If you need to find friends… DO IT. If you want to give back to less fortunate... DO IT. AAE has brought me friendship, joy, and education.

Chilly Pepper -911 – Emergency Rescue in Progress. Badly Injured Baby
The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: Urgent plea for help! Today's call came in and I simply could not say no to this one. Stormy and I were literally on the road within 15 minutes, and we will be there tomorrow early afternoon. My leg is still basically broken and as I need another surgery, most of the time 4 or 5 hours of driving can cause enough pain to be distracted and unsafe. I was called specifically because this baby needs intense critical care, and that is our specialty. Baby and Mama are both wild. I need immediate help (PLEASE!!!!) with funds for fuel, $800 (JUST for the Diesel) maybe more? We need funds for Emergency vet care, meds, more clay, and feed for these two. I should probably get the brakes done on the truck prior to pulling home the loaded trailer as well. Doc is already standing by. She will need to pull blood on Mama so we can get paperwork so I can bring them home. Baby sounds like he needs some serious help as well. Hard to tell from the photos, but I was told he can hardly walk and needs medical asap.

Chilly Pepper -Urgent help needed ! Still short for matching funds offer
The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: Hi, Thank you to everyone who has donated. We are still short about $187 towards the matching funds. Even after we are blessed with the matching funds, we still will need more help to complete the barn roof and work on securing enough hay for the winter. The truck needs to be serviced and also needs brakes. It is just a part of life but always seems to come at the most difficult times. Much less expensive to maintain the equipment than let it break down. I realize times are really tough for many of you out there, myself included. However, Chilly Pepper still needs more help to make sure we get the hay we need BEFORE the prices go up again. Every day the price of diesel rises and folks are buying what little hay is available, and that means it will cost less if we purchase now instead of later. We still need funds to get that barn roof finished. I am working on as many adoptions as I can, but as most folks know, horses are being dumped at an alarming rate. I am having to say no everyday until we have enough hay and get some of these kids adopted. Please don't give up on us now. Even though times are exceedingly tough right now, we still need to keep saving lives and taking care of the horses you have saved. Thank You so much from all of the critters at Chilly Pepper! Winter appears to be coming fast and hard. We are already seeing nights in the 30's. Let's keep these kids safe, warm and well fed.

A Bonus Tuesday: Meet the New Mustangs
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue: September has an extra Tuesday this year, so you’re getting a little bonus story from AAE! We thought we’d use this extra opportunity to introduce to you, a group of eight mustangs who recently came through our gates. Their stay with us is temporary for most, but each arrived needing a little help while plans for their final destinations were being made. Here’s a little more about these new arrivals and how AAE was able to help. Last month, AAE got a call about a group of ten horses from one of our law enforcement friends. Their elderly owner needed assistance. A few weeks ago, AAE welcomed eight formerly "wild" horses: Chester, Spot, Snickers, Cowboy, Smudge, Snort, Suzi, and Spirit. They are mostly older and include BLM, state, and tribal mustangs. Two remained at home, as they were the most special needs, and two is much more manageable than ten. Their mom had spent more than two decades advocating for and helping wild horses. The past few years have been hard on her after a serious injury, followed by additional health issues. Keeping up with the needs of her small herd of horses became more than she could manage without any help at home. Though she did the best she could, she couldn't keep up. What she really wanted was her kids to roam free again. Since AAE is currently deep with senior and special needs horses, it would have been difficult to take on another large group of senior horses long term. That said, AAE and their mom went to work, and the stars aligned. With the help of two wonderful organizations, Wild Horse Sanctuary and LifeSavers Wild Horse Rescue, we were able to secure lifelong sanctuary placement for six ...

Chilly Pepper – Meet Baby JJ Jr. Can we please fix his barn?
The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: Meet Baby JJ Jr. This little guy was born a few days ago, and he really needs our help. It has been in the low 40's at night and getting colder at night. He is healthy and happy, although a tiny bit thin as he is using lots of his energy to stay warm. With the weather turning so quickly, we simply must get the barn repaired and the new part of the roof on and the insulation replaced. I need to get his Mama some extra groceries so she continues to produce lots of milk for JJ. She is a wonderful Mama. We have an amazing MATCHING FUNDS OFFER for up to $1000 to help with barn repairs, the new roof and groceries for Mama. Sadly every time we fix one thing on the tractor and it starts running stronger another old part decides it can't keep up. So she is still needing more repairs, so hopefully we are getting closer to her being usable. Thank you as always for every penny donated. Y'all are amazing and it is so wonderful to share this baby as her Mama was extremely thin and unhealthy when we rescued her. Thanks to you, she is thriving and her son is amazing. Please help us fix his barn so he can grow up warm, strong and healthy.
