YOUR HELP NEEDED FOR
SIX HORSE NEGLECT CASE

In a leap of faith, we said yes to a Nevada law enforcement agency and recently welcomed these six neglected horses into our care, knowing that taking on six at once is no small feat. They need your help so they can get back to good health. Two of the boys also need “brain” surgery (aka castration). Six new intakes means a whole lot of needs all at once! Together, we can do this!
First, a little more background. We were contacted by a Nevada animal control for assistance with a neglect case involving the seizure of eight horses. Sadly, two horses were euthanized because of their extremely poor condition. While the case was in the court system, waiting, the six remaining horses were housed and cared for at the Northern Nevada Correctional Center in Carson City (where they have the wild horse program). The correctional center was able to give them proper feed and their body condition improved considerably, but the center was not able to update health needs, while waiting for the decision about their future. The judge ultimately transferred ownership to the law enforcement agency, and the agency transferred them to AAE.
They’re here in quarantine, and we have a vet/farrier day soon.
All six horses need dentals, hoof care, sheath cleaning for the boys, vaccines, deworming, and microchipping, and the two stallions need to be gelded. Additional diagnostics may be needed, too, including pregnancy testing for the two mares and hoof radiographs for Phantom, Huck, and Rosie, as well as treatments for eye issues, fly strike, and any other issues that may be identified.
