Honoring These Angels

The following is from All About Equine Rescue: 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. 2023 was a difficult year at AAE, especially the month of May; too many of our friends earned their wings.

Fortunately, we're surrounded by an army of love, and we all get through it, together. Today we're remembering our sweet souls who crossed the ...

Their owner also wasn't supporting the costs of their care. Though they tried, the friends knew ...

Fortunately, the pair found a home and weren't allowed to come to AAE. Unfortunately, they were wary of their new humans, well, any humans. Despite their best efforts, their new family was unable to ...
