Your BIG Heart Helped Save Lives – Thank You!
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:
Thank you for coming together in a BIG way yesterday to support the community and especally horses and other animals-in-need! Your Big Day of Giving support is helping provide so much good, and we’re extra grateful for the second chances you’re giving to horses and other animals when they need it most.
Because of you, horses like this sweet pony, Caylee, can find a safe landing at AAE. She was found running loose and ended up in the shelter. Sadly, her owners didn’t come for her, and she needed a place to go. Just this past Wednesday, we welcomed this sweet, lil mare. We’re getting to know her and determining her needs. Stay tuned for more about this lil’ beauty!
From the bottom of our hearts and hooves, thank you! Together, we are building a better world for horses.

There’s Still Time to Be A Hero for Beautiful Animals like Ella ❤️
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:
Big Day of Giving (BDOG) is a 24-hour online giving challenge to help AAE and other non-profits in the Sacramento area raise funds and awareness. It is a day to give where your heart is! To learn more about Big Day of Giving, visit www.bigdayofgiving.org.
Today, our community has come together in an incredible show of compassion and generosity, but Big Day of Giving isn’t over yet!
Give before 11:59pm PT and help transform a life! Every donation helps provide a variety of basic needs for the horses, including providing feed, veterinary care (routine and emergency), training, hoof and dental care, and other routine care.
Your gift will help us bring hope where it’s needed most and help more horses like Ella.
Ella is an elegant 20ish year old Arabian mare who came to AAE in the spring of 2023 along with her two-week old colt, Theo. The pair were part of the same of 24 horse herd as Mila and Mollie (we shared their story this morning). Theo was born after the herd was seized. Like the rest of the group, Ella was in need of basic care; her long, beautiful mane had become thick with dreadlocks. Despite her poor condition, she was a wonderful mom who kept Theo as healthy and well nourished as best as she could.
Ella is truly a special horse with a bright future. When she first arrived, she couldn’t be haltered, and now she’s easy to catch, halter, and lead. Once Theo was weaned and Ella felt stronger, she was evaluated more, and she was eventually introduced to beginning saddle work. Once she had a good foundation, she was introduced to a rider, and we were pleased with how well she did! She showed confidence and responded to most cues, as if she’d done it before. She navigated a tarp without hesitation and wasn’t easily spooked. If she’s been ridden before, she’s very rusty, and will need a good refresher.
With continued guidance and an experienced person, Ella has great potential. She’s looking for someone who can help her build her skills that she’s honed at AAE so far.
Learn more about Ella here.
Together, we can give horses-in-need, like Ella, the love and care they deserve. But hurry, the clock is ticking! Big Day of Giving ends at 11:59pm!

We’re in the final stretch of the Big Day of Giving – let’s finish strong together! Thank you for everyone that has contributed and shared so far!
Last year, we opened our barn doors to dogs at-risk of euthanasia in crowded shelters. We started working with a local shelter to help a pup that needed surgery, then fostering a mama and her five new puppies until they were ready for adoption. It was a new beginning for all.
It all started with this lil’ face! He waited on “the list” for nearly three weeks, and no one picked him to be theirs. He had a hip/leg injury that needed an expensive surgery. We found a way, and we picked him to come to AAE with us!
Dakota started as a foster, and he had his surgery. It didn’t take long before we called him a foster failure, and he became ours! Now, he’s loves to be a greeter at the ranch; he greets everyone with some love. We love him so much!
While at the shelter picking up Dakota, we met Koda, too. The next day, we brought her lil’ family to AAE so they could have some peace and quiet, and a lotta love! Sometimes, things are simply meant to be. It didn’t take long before Koda met her favorite and forever person. The pups got a lot of love and a lot of good socialization with all of AAE’s volunteers. When the pups were old enough, Koda got to go home with her new mom, and they love each other to pieces. The pups went back to the shelter for their spay/neuter surgeries, and all were adopted the next day.
After hearing this big gal had spent the 14 months in a shelter kennel, we knew we needed to say YES again. This poor girl had been seized as part of a hoarding/neglect case. She really needed out of her small, concrete kennel. It took a couple weeks to work out the details, but we did. Louise had some new things to learn and figure out about life outside the kennel, and it was quite an adjustment…or quite a few. Thankfully, she was willing, and we worked through the wrinkles. Miss Lou is truly enjoying life on a ranch again, and after all she’s been through, we are grateful she can call this her forever home.
Of course, leaving with an empty crate in our van didn’t settle well, so we found another desperate pup… actually, two.
Ricky had been in the shelter for about a year, or half of his life. That’s no way for a pup to grow up! Ricky was a really, really rambunctious little guy, but also a really, really sweet pup. With lots of attention and bigger housing, he settled some while at AAE and found his forever home with a wonderful family that’s loving him to pieces.
Little fluff ball, Beau, had been at the shelter half of his 4-5 month life, as well. Now, he’s been at AAE just as long, and we’re hoping his stars are aligning, and he can find his home soon!
There’s still time to make a difference! Let’s make these last hours count!
Because Every Animal Deserves A Yes When Needed – Give Today
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:
Big Day of Giving (BDOG) is a 24-hour online giving challenge to help AAE and other non-profits in the Sacramento area raise funds and awareness. It is a day to give where your heart is! To learn more about Big Day of Giving, visit www.bigdayofgiving.org.
Today is Big Day of Giving, a special day when our community comes together to lift up the causes that matter most.
At AAE, we are here for the horses who have no one else. Your gift today helps us be ready — ready to provide care, shelter, and hope for horses-in-need.
Your generosity and support are why we are able to answer the call when law enforcement needs our help. There’s usually no time to fundraise or look for support. As was the case here:
Just yesterday, we welcomed a stray through local law enforcement when her owner didn’t claim her. She was alone with no home to go back to. Thankfully, because of supporters like you, she was able to find a safe space at AAE.
As is often is the case with strays, we don’t know much of her story. She is an estimated eight year old Quarter Pony mare. Once she finishes the standard quarantine period for new horses, we will update any basic care she needs and share more as we get to know her. At this point, she is not a beginner or child’s pony.
She will be available for adoption once she’s had at least basic care needs met (e.g. hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming) and a microchip.
These moments–the ones where we get to say “yes”–are only possible because you step up when it counts.
You make rescue possible and bring hope to animals who have nowhere else to turn.
Every donation makes a difference. It means we’re ready for the next call. It means we can help law enforcement agencies when they need us.
Let’s make this Big Day of Giving count, not only for her, but for the next one who needs us, too.
Big Day of Giving is a very important funding day for AAE and all of the horses we take in and care for throughout the year. Your gift will help fulfill a variety of basic needs for the horses, including providing feed, veterinary care (routine and emergency), training, hoof and dental care, and other routine care.
You can also raise the bar for horses-in-need by pledging matching funds! You’ll inspire giving and make your impact twice as BIG! To learn more about starting your own matching funds campaign for the horses, send us an email.

Your generosity and support are why we were able to help horses like Mila and Mollie.
Mila (before). Mollie (before).
Mila and her mom Mollie were part of a herd of 24 horses involved in a neglect case so severe that three of the horses did not survive. The herd had been neglected and starved after being released on huge acreage to fend for themselves. We first met Mollie, a ~20 year old Arabian mare, and her filly, Mila, who was only months old, in the spring of 2024. The pair had been separated and their sadness was immense. Mila had put herself in a corner trying to get to her mom. They were both depleted, but both were hanging on.
Mila and Mollie came to AAE with 13 other herd members. Another organization helped with the remaining horses (colts and stallions).
Once here, Mollie and Mila got the basic care and nutrition they needed. Over time, their confidence and trust grew, and their transformation in just four months was remarkable.
They were adopted together, and they have a very bright future with their new family.
Their happily ever after was possible because of individuals like you.
Your support today helps write the next story of transformation and hope. Your gift opens the door to safety, love, and a second chance.
Together, we can make today truly extraordinary for the horses who need us most!
Thank you!
Give Hope. Give Love. Give Big.

Your generosity and support are why we were able to help horses like Kody.
Kody is a 2002 BLM mustang glending who came to AAE at the end of 2023 with his friend, Teddy. The pair were living in deep, nasty mud and muck, and their bodies were emaciated and bony when a friend of a concerned neighbor reached out to local law enforcement for help.
At AAE, they were put on a refeeding program, and their hooves were trimmed. Over time, they put on weight, and their health stabilized enough to receive much needed dental care, vaccines, and deworming.
Kody’s body took months to fill in. As his body condition improved, so did his energy. Kody was turned out in the pasture, and he enjoyed having friends, but his zest was overwhelming for some. He found a good friend in Wylie, and the pair were often seen roaming and playing together. Kody also loved the company of humans and was a volunteer favorite.
We’re thrilled to share that Kody was adopted last week and is now living his happily ever after with a wonderful family!
After everything he’s been through, it’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do.

Don’t wait—secure your tickets today before the early bird price ends at midnight tonight!
Purchase Tickets & Sponsorships
When purchasing your ticket online, you have the option to leave a “tip” for the event platform (not AAE). The tip is optional – if you do not wish to leave one, you will need to select “other” in the tip section of the donation form.

Tick Tock! Boots & Bling Early Bird Pricing Ends Soon!
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:
Our 12th Annual Boots & Bling Fundraiser is fast approaching, and we need your help more than ever. This event is not just a celebration—it supports the foundation of our mission, and this year, it’s more vital than ever.
Don’t wait! Early bird pricing ends this Friday, April 4—purchase your tickets or sponsor a table today to take advantage of the discounted rates. By attending, you’ll enjoy a night filled with delicious food, great company, and a chance to make a lasting impact on the lives of horses, like Nevaeh, who need our care.
Nevaeh came to AAE in the fall, just before last year’s Boots & Bling. She had been abandoned on someone’s property and seized as a stray by law enforcement. Upon arrival, she was thin and in need of basic care. Over the next few months with us, she began to blossom as she started to look and feel better. We’ve recently done some saddle work with her. Her first ride went well, and she’s had a few more short rides. She’s been calm and quiet, fairly responsive, and not phased by much. She seems to have a very nice foundation to build on. This beautiful and all-around wonderful mare is looking for her very own person.
Nevaeh’s story isn’t unique – sadly, there are other horses who are waiting for help. That’s why Boots & Bling is so critical.
Whether you attend as a guest or you sponsor a table, your support is invaluable. Every ticket and sponsorship is a direct investment in the future of these horses.
Act now to secure your early bird price—the deadline is fast approaching, and we don’t want you to miss out!
We look forward to celebrating with you on May 17 and making a difference for horses like Nevaeh together!

New Pony Finds Refuge at AAE
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:
LILLY
Meet Lilly! When she was surrendered to a local animal shelter earlier this month, this sweet little pony could hardly walk due to significant pain from her severely overgrown hooves.
After an initial vet examination and starting her on pain meds, shelter staff immediately contacted us for help. The next day, ~10-year old Lilly was on her way to AAE to heal from her past and prepare for her future.
Since her arrival, Lilly has had her overgrown hooves trimmed twice (part of an on-going process), and she is resting comfortably while she awaits more farrier and vet care over the next couple of weeks (e.g. dental, vaccines, deworming and microchip).
Once Lilly’s care and rehab is complete, she will be available for adoption.
Stay tuned for updates on this little lady as we learn more about her!
Your involvement in Boots & Bling could make all the difference for horses-in-need like Lilly! Here are a few ways you can help:
- Become a Sponsor: Your sponsorship supports the horses and our programs and gives you the opportunity to be a champion of horses-in-need and for our community! Table and event sponsorships are available now! Learn more here.
- Donate an Auction Item: From unique experiences to valuable goods, your donated items, experiences, and professional services will raise essential funds to help care for the horses! Learn more here.
- Volunteer: If you have time and talents to share, we’d love your help in bringing Boots & Bling to life! This is a big undertaking and we only have a few months left to do it, so we’d appreciate your involvement! Sign up to join the planning team here.
- Attend the Event: Gather friends, family, and colleagues to join you in supporting Boots & Bling while enjoying a memorable evening together. Sponsor tables are available now. Individual tickets go on sale in March.
You Make Rescues Like These Possible
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:
When we received the call from law enforcement last March, we knew we had to step in.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, AAE was able to provide a second chance for a large group of these horses. Rescues like this require resources and planning – and that’s where supporters like you can make a lasting impact.
By making or updating your will or living revocable trust (LRT) and including a gift to AAE, you can:
- Ensure horses in desperate situations get the care they need.
- Support lifesaving medical care, nutrition, and rehabilitation.
- Help build a future where AAE is always ready to act when called upon.
FreeWill helps you make a lasting impact for horses and it makes estate planning easy and secure, and there’s no cost to you. You can also designate All About Equine Animal Rescue as a beneficiary of a non-will asset, like your retirement account or life insurance policy.
Your compassionate legacy can give rescued horses a second chance.
Thank you for believing in our mission and protecting horses for years to come.
P.S. Already included AAE in your estate plans? Let us know so we can express our heartfelt thanks.

JETTA
Jetta has many stories. With AAE, it starts back in March 2015 when we had an opening for a learning opportunity at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center due to an adoption that left us short a horse. We networked with another rescue, and Jetta came to AAE. Jetta had been part of a large neglect case, and she had not been at the other rescue too long. Shortly after arriving at AAE, we made the journey south. A week or so later, we got a bit of a shocking call. Jetta looked as if she was getting ready to deliver a foal. We made another trip south and got her back to a cushy stall. Within about two weeks, she delivered the most handsome colt! He was gorgeous!
Willie was perfect in every way! It wasn’t six months later, and Jetta and Willie were adopted together. Several months later (after weaning), we got a call asking for help picking up Jetta from a trainer. Jetta had been sent to a trainer a few months prior to start under saddle. Said trainer wasn’t responding adequately to calls and questions. Sadly, the “trainer” was anything but a trainer. We arrived, and we couldn’t believe our eyes. Poor Jetta had been starved, again, and she was worse than when she was before. “Trainer” said she was dangerous, he couldn’t catch her, she wouldn’t load in a trailer, and owners shouldn’t have such a dangerous horse. Horses*#*! The look in her eyes was empty. She was haltered, led to the trailer, and loaded, all in a few minutes. (Please, always be involved, visit your horse, and participate in training).
Back home, she was on the road to recovery, again. Flash forward, adopters divorce, house is sold, and Jetta and Willie move to a boarding facility. No idea if this was the first or the last or how many more changes were in-between, but adopter could no longer afford two horses, and Jetta recently returned to AAE. We wish Willie could have come, too. Maybe one day. Jetta is still the sweet, sweet mare we knew back in 2015. She feels empty again. Hopefully her ol’ sparkle will return to her eyes again, soon. The sadness is palpable. Ever stand by a horse and feel a knot in your throat as the tears well up in your eyes?
We’re still getting to know Jetta, again. We need more time to get to really understand where she is and what she needs. We think she’s about 18. We don’t think she ever returned to full training, though we know she had a special friend at her boarding facility that showered her with attention and continued her progress. Jetta loves attention, and she enjoys being groomed. She’s easy going, easy to halter, lead, and load. She’s fairly good with handling her hooves, but isn’t great with the farrier with her hinds, though she might have some pain issues to investigate. As the weather improves, we’ll spend more time exploring with Jetta and figure out the best path forward for her. We love this gal, and we want the best for her.
This holiday season, the horses we rescue have only one wish: a bright future. With your support, we can give them more than just shelter — we can give them hope. Join us in making their dreams come true by helping us provide the funding needed to care for and rehome these majestic creatures. Your generosity this December will help more horses find their second chance in 2025.
Your donations provide a safe, loving home for rescued horses. Your contribution will ensure that horses like Jetta find the peace and care they deserve, now and in the future. Any amount is very much appreciated, and it makes a big difference for the horses.

OLIVIA
Olivia is a 2010 Thoroughbred mare that came to AAE in October. She had some health issues that weren’t resolving, and she wasn’t getting the care she needed. Olivia seemed to be experiencing a uterine or urinary tract infection. Olivia was facing euthanasia. This sweet girl needed a chance to get well.
Earlier in her life, she was a racehorse, but her racing history wasn’t too impressive earnings-wise. She ran 22 races from 2015 to 2017, with only one win, and she won $17,540 during her career.
Olivia’s had ultrasounds, palpations, scopes, and uterine and bladder lavages, and she’s still trying to resolve her issue. Initially, it seemed this sweet mare had a chronic uterine infection. She was treated with a long course of antibiotics that seemed to resolve the issue, but only briefly before signs of infection returned. She’s had a vaginal discharge for many months, and she seemed to be incontinent, passing frequent squirts of urine (or icky mucous, pus) and not urinating normally.
Further diagnostics located a large bladder stone. Olivia had a procedure done to removed the stone; it was baseball to softball-sized and had to be broken up for removal. The photo below is just a small piece of the stone. Poor mare! After removal, she’s had a couple of follow-up lavages to help clear bladder and uterus of infection, sediment, and anything else that shouldn’t be there.
Since arrival, Olivia also had her basic health care updated: dental and hoof care, vaccines, and deworming. (She already had a microchip).
er last visit was a bit concerning. Her scope showed a dilated ureter and her bloodwork indicated her kidney values increased again, after coming down previously.
Olivia is an incredibly sweet, sweet mare. Please send some healng energies to help her recover!

It’s that time at the end of the year when we reflect upon the horses (and other animals) you have helped over the past 12 months. We are filled with so much gratitude for your support, because this is what makes rescuing and caring for horses-in-need possible. Every horse represents the combined efforts of our community – volunteers, donors, and supporters who believe in the power of second chances.
As is tradition in December, each day this month, we share stories from the past year that are the direct result of you and your dedication to horses-in-need. Thank you for being such an incredible horse warrior and fighting for horses who need another chance. We hope you enjoy! Happy Holidays to all!
CLYDE
Clyde came to AAE at the end of August from a nearby law enforcement agency. He and another horse were seized after abandonment on a large property where they were left to fend for themselves. Clyde was emaciated and in dire condition. Clyde also had a growth in his eye that was later supected cancer. He also has GI issues (inflammation/thickness in walls of small intestines) and lesions in his lungs.
The County’s vet suspected the abdominal/lung issues to be cancer, but with meds and a nourishing diet, he was fighting, and he was improving. Clyde was being treated with a twice daily steroid to control the GI inflammation, among other meds. Thankfully, Clyde’s condition stabilized, and his eye was removed.
This law enforcement agency went above and beyond to help this sweet guy. They invested in a chance for life and the hard work needed to make sure this very sick horse had a chance at survival. They truly gave him the gift of life when others would have made a much easier call.
Though he may have cancer, he needed a place to go where he could continue his recovery maybe even thrive. He just wanted some love! Clyde came to AAE expecting to be a hospice situation, but with hope he would improve. Once he arrived, he continued on his daily meds and his refeeding program. After about a month, he was due for his follow-up. Clyde was looking better and feeling better. Amazingly, his bloodwork came back all within normal limits. His ultrasound showed he still has some GI inflammation and lung lesions, but they were better than expected. Great news for Clyde! He also got much needed hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming, as well as a microchip.
His daily steroid was tapered down to half of what it was. He’s holding his own, he’s looking great, and he’s feeling great. Not too long ago, he made the transition to herd life, and he’s enjoying being a horse again.
Though we don’t know what the future will hold for Mr. Clyde, he’s getting lots of love, and he sure seems to be enjoying every day, one day at a time! He’s sure a big, sweet guy, and everyone loves him! He’ll have a follow-up after the new year, and we’ll see where things go from there. For now, he’s enjoying the miracle of Christmas, and he’s grateful for all of the love and care he’s getting from all of his volunteers. Clyde’s so thankful for the support from all of you that has given him a second chance to live his best life! He’s not forgotten, it all started with law enforcement! Clyde sends Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday wishes to all!
This holiday season, the horses we rescue have only one wish: a bright future. With your support, we can give them more than just shelter — we can give them hope. Join us in making their dreams come true by helping us provide the funding needed to care for and rehome these majestic creatures. Your generosity this December will help more horses find their second chance in 2025.
Your donations provide a safe, loving home for rescued horses. Your contribution will ensure that horses like Matteo find the peace and care they deserve, now and in the future. Any amount is very much appreciated, and it makes a big difference for the horses.
Mare-y Christmas Eve!

NEVAEH
Nevaeh is a grade mid- to late-teen mare that came to AAE in September through law enforcement after she was abandoned on someone’s property. She was seized as a stray, and we were asked to help. When she arrived, she was thin and needed basice care (i.e., dental and hoof care, vaccines, and deworming), and she got a microchip.
This beautiful mare is uncomplicated. She’s sweet, she enjoys attention, she’s fairly easy to handle (i.e., halter, lead, grooming, hooves, & trailering). She transitioned into a pasture herd without issue. We’ve tested br0i- 3efly with saddling, and she’s not a fan. So initial thoughts are little to no riding experience, but we’ll explore more as long as she’s here. At this point, she’ll be available as a non-riding companion simply because she doesn’t appear to know much and she’s older. If we find differently, we’ll revisit.
Nevaeh has been such a sweet girl during our stay with us. She is looking good and feeling even better! Now, her only wish is for a person and home of her own.
Nevaeh is available for adoption as a non-riding companion. She may be able to do more in the right situation, but for now, that’s the best option for her success.
