Equine Welfare in the News

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue: It’s time for the first edition of Reflections & Highlights. This monthly roundup is our way of keeping you in the know and close to the action: who’s been adopted, what we’ve been up to, and all the moments—big and small. Saddle up and take a look back at July with us. HARLEY & QUINN Do you remember this sweet, bonded pair of doodles that landed at AAE? They were in pretty rough shape when we found them on the side of the highway—matted, underweight, and scared. Thanks to lots of TLC, multiple vet visits, and much-needed grooming (they lost 15 pounds of mats between them!), they each gained about 20 ...

The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: Baby Donkey Shrek is only 5 days old and crashing. His situation is critical and he was rushed to the hospital for an emergency plasma transfusion, fluids and meds. Shrek's Mom decided she did not want him, and would not let him nurse. We are not sure if this is because she is still a baby at only about 2 years old, or if she knows something is wrong with Shrek and is behaving like they do in the wild. She was starting to get pretty rough with him and it was clear he had to be pulled immediately. In the wild, if a baby is sick or has something wrong, the babies ...

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue: Ten knew love and kindness, thanks to you! It is with immense sadness that we share the loss of our sweet, Ten. Though we were hopeful and encouraged by his progress over the past 11 days, his condition declined overnight. Today, with broken hearts, we helped him across the Rainbow Bridge.   Ten was an incredibly kind soul, and he fought so hard to live. He enjoyed his friends that showered him with care and attention. He loved looking out over his "door" overseeing the activities at the ranch. He nickered when someone would come visit or bring his meals. You could tell how much he savored his mashy meals by ...

The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: YOU SAVED 8 orphaned mustang babies. THANK YOU! Will you help me save another life? Meet "Lil Man", who is anything but little. He is a BLM kid and was working on his 3rd strike. We all know what that means. He is one of the homeliest, goofiest looking kids we have ever tried to save, but man is he sweet, and I couldn't "not" give him a chance. I said yes on Faith and the trust that y'all always come through for these precious souls. He was a "medical", which means I was told he most likely needed surgery on his hocks as the guesstimated diagnosis was OCD. His legs look horrible ...

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue: "Ten" update "Ten" has been with us five days now, though at times it feels like five weeks. It's been a roller coaster. He's fighting such an incredible fight. Today was great day. Yesterday started as a really rough day. Saturday was a really good day. Needless to say, we're taking it one day at a time. Ten's already had some challenges, and he's gotten through them. As if a long and very slow drive back to Pilot Hill in his condition late Wednesday wasn't enough, late Thursday, he had a mouth bleed. We're not sure what happened, but it appears something pierced an artery in/near his palate. He had a ...
