Farewell to Our Guy, Magic
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:
MAGIC (~1994 – 11/29/2017)
“There is love in holding and there is love in letting go.”
Magic, Oh Magic
Oh, how I wish we could work a little Magic for you, sweet boy.
You came to us in tatters, but no matter how hard we tried, time and again, you wouldn’t fixed.
The year turned had just 2014. You and you’re girl, Love, what a pair. Together, abandoned and neglected. Left to fend for yourselves. Not only malnourished, but many aggressive sarcoids and a squamous cell carcinoma. Fifteen in all was bad enough, but the conditions made them difficult to see.

Blue Needs Your Help!
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:
Help Blue Step Into His New Future!
Blue is a young mustang gelding out of Nevada who came to AAE after Hidden Valley Wild Horse Protection Fund and Virginia Range Wild Horse Sanctuary asked for assistance with this handsome guy. He had a large mass over his rear fetlock/pastern area, and was unhalterable when he arrived at AAE.
He made great progress getting ready for his initial veterinary evaluation (exam, radiographs, and biopsy) resulted in a positive outlook. The bone in his fetlock area looked good and a biopsy confirmed the growth to be granulation tissue (proud flesh). However, due to the size of the mass, healing was expected to take considerable time.
We started working on gentling and desensitizing Blue to get him comfortable with his legs being handled for post-surgical care (treatment and bandaging). However, he experienced a set back with what we initially thought was a reaction to something (e.g. fly spray, a weed, a bite, or some other toxin) and required additional diagnostics, treatment and healing before we could move forward with surgery.
Blue made great strides with accepting humans and allowing his leg to be handled. Understandably, he was very sensitive with anything near the “blob”. His surgery was successfully completed on Wednesday, August 23. Due to the size, nature, and location of the surgery, he will need long term bandaging and care for best healing results. We are anticipating needing lots of bandaging materials, post-op care, and likely the use of sedation in early visits to ensure safe handling.

Goodbye, Angus, we miss you already!
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:
Fortunately, at AAE, we have more happy days than sad. Yesterday was one of the really sad days. We said good morning and goodbye to Angus for the last time. Angus was a big, enormously handsome, genuinely kind, 21-ish Shire gelding. He introduced our volunteers and guests to the true gentleness of these giant horses. He also introduced us to true horsey farts and horsesy slobber! There was no mistaking an Angus toot (it was as big as he)!
Angus came to us in early 2016 with a lot of needs, but a lot of life to live and love to give. He was battling chronic uveitis in both eyes, he had chronic progressive lymphedema (CPL), and a big arthritic knee. One eye was beyond treatment, and it was removed to prevent ongoing pain and further injury; thankfully, his remaining eye responded well to treatment. We treated his CPL, and it was managed with regular care. His knee responded well to antibiotics and a little rest. Who knew he had a bad knee? He wasn’t quite as good as new, but he was much, much improved. With lots of love and TLC, Angus was feeling good and loving life, and he was adored by all of our volunteers, but mostly by his bestest friends, Kasey and Linda. Kasey was his eyes in darkness, and showed him the way. The two were buds in the truest sense of the word. Linda took special care to make sure Angus was a big, happy guy with all of his needs met, and he showered her with love…. and slobber. They shared a special bond that only the luckiest of people and horses get to experience.
BIG Day of Giving: What Can Your Donation Do?
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:
It’s Finally Here!! The BIG Day of Giving!!
This event started at midnight and goes for 24 hours. This is a great opportunity to give local now and show the country that our region is #1 as the most generous community on this national day of giving!
This year, our goal is to engage at least 200 donors and raise $10,000 to help us FILL THE BARN to help support our feed and care costs!
Update: Lil’ Orphan Filly
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:
Our sweet little one is still moving in the right direction. She has made substantial improvement in her whole 10 days of life. Her first lab results for a muscle enzyme showed her values were off the charts. Normal is 800, and upon intake she was at 120,000, the highest level the equipment could read. As of yesterday, her muscle enzyme levels and other blood levels were within normal range. She is still weak and unable to get up on her own, which is not uncommon, but once she’s helped to stand, her mobility is MUCH improved !! Thanks to her docs at Loomis Basin Equine Medical Center, her hospitalization is winding down, and she will be home soon, but she has a long rehab/recovery to come and she’s not out of the woods by far. To say her journey has been a rollercoaster ride is an understatement, but we thank you all so much for your support and assistance with this little gal.
Little Filly Fund
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:
Donate today!
In the hustle and bustle of our busiest time of year, we have a critical case, an orphan filly that was not only rejected by mom, but reeling from the effects of mom’s rejection, malnourishment and selenium deficiency, topped of by stress of transport and dehydration. She needs your help!
We go the call yesterday (4/5), a plea for assistance with an orphaned foal who was just a few hours old. She had been rejected by mom and needed help.
Lots of attention and supportive measures were taken. A catheter was placed, blood drawn, and meds administered.
