The Four “Wise” Men of AAE

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. Just like "Jingle Bells" and "Silent Night" are classics at the holidays, Barney, Finn, Jengo, and Tio are classics around AAE! BARNEY Barney, a 24-ish year old Belgian Draft, stands 17 hands high (one hand = four inches) and weighs in at a mere 1,500 pounds. When he came to AAE in January 2019, he was 250 to 300 pounds underweight, had some respiratory and intestinal issues, and some basic care needs hadn't been met. With a proper diet, diagnostics, ...

Ho Ho Ho – It’s JoJo & Charley!

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. Ho ho ho - it's time for JoJo & Charley! JOJO & CHARLEY JoJo and Charley came together to AAE in November 2022 when their owners were moving across the country, and unfortunately, could not bring the girls. They both had been riding horses, but neither had been ridden in many years. They arrived in good condition, and only needed a few vaccines, deworming, and microchips. JoJo JoJo is very senior (1997), but spry, Paso Fino mare, who's a bundle ...

Wishing You a Blue Christmas

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. Today we're putting the spotlight on this familiar & handsome face! His story is on the longer side, but it's a worthwhile read. BLUE Blue, a 2010 Virginia Range (NV) mustang, came to AAE in March 2017 after a request for assistance from the Virginia Range Wild Horse Sanctuary and the Hidden Valley Wild Horse Protection Fund. Blue had a large mass over his left rear fetlock/pastern area. Despite being haltered and handled to some extent previously, he was not halterable when he arrived at ...

On the 1st Day of Christmas, Allie’s asking Santa for a person of her own

The following is from All About Equine Rescue: It's time for our favorite holiday tradition! 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. Without further ado, our first story... ALLIE AAE welcomed Allie and several other horses from a distressed mustang sanctuary in 2020. Allie is still here waiting for her forever home! Allie is a very senior mustang mare (est DOB 2000) who lived in a small paddock in captivity for many years. Her basic care had been neglected after long time sanctuary operators fell into poor health. When she arrived, Allie was thin, and ...

Typically, five or six horses have their annual dentals and vaccines. Yesterday was a mustang day - four mustangs and three domestic horses were up. We had beautiful weather, and it was a great day!
