She Is Hoping for Her Person This Holiday Season

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2025 AAE, all about equine animal rescue, Equine Rescue, equine welfare, equines 0

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:

As we begin Week 2 of our December reflections, we’re continuing our journey back through the moments that defined 2025. Each story is a small window into the work you make possible: rescues who arrived in need, horses who stepped into new homes, and the quiet victories that carried us through the year, together.

Every day this month, you’ll receive another chapter from the past year, along with the faces (and a few tails) whose lives were changed because you were there. These stories celebrate the impact of this community and the compassion that keeps our mission moving forward.

At the heart of each one is the same truth: the most meaningful gifts aren’t wrapped; they’re second chances.

NEVAEH

Nevaeh arrived at AAE in late 2024 through law enforcement after being abandoned on private property, a boarding facility. Thin, under-cared for, and with no known history, this late-teen to twenty-ish mare needed the basics: hoof and dental care, vaccines, deworming, a microchip, and time to feel safe again.

Once she settled in, Nevaeh blossomed. She soaked up attention, handled easily on the ground, and slipped seamlessly into our pasture herd. After gaining weight, we began exploring her training. At first, she wasn’t too sure about saddle work, but her first full ride turned into the sweetest surprise: calm, quiet, confident, and willing. She’s a little rusty, but her foundation is good, and her heart is even better. She even marched right over a tarp without hesitation. Those simple things are the best when they’re not expected!

Her only real sticking point was her hind feet; she wasn’t difficult, just occasionally impatient. A daily Equioxx helped her feel much more comfortable, overall, and she’s now far more active and relaxed out in the pasture, and with her hind hooves.

Nevaeh is truly a lovely mare. She was sweet, uncomplicated, and ready for a partner who would appreciate her gentle nature and help her continue shining. She was looking for a new home as the wonderful companion and light-riding partner for an experienced adopter, and she found her. Congrats to Nevaeh and new mom, Sharon Q.

Nevaeh was up to date with hoof and dental care, vaccines, deworming, and she had her microchip.

If you’re interested in adopting Nevaeh, please take a moment to complete this form.

Home for the Holidays? These Two Are Ready!

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2025 AAE, all about equine animal rescue, Equine Rescue, equine welfare, equines 0

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:

Every December we look back and gather the stories that shaped the year: the rescues, recoveries, and new beginnings that remind us why this work matters.

Throughout the month, you’ll receive a daily email featuring the horses who arrived, and those that found new homes. We will also share other important moments and milestones from the year (hint: wagging tails and a brand new space) and highlight the volunteers and sponsors who make every day possible. It’s our way of reflecting on the past twelve months and celebrating everything we’ve accomplished together, while recognizing none of it happens without you.

Each story is a reminder of the greatest gift we can offer: a second chance.

SPRING 2024 SEIZURE GROUP UPDATE:

Part 2

Yesterday, we shared the story of a special group of horses who arrived together in March 2024. Today, we’re highlighting two who are still waiting for families to call their own. If you missed the group’s story, you can read it here.

NIKO

Niko was a thin, tired young colt when we met him to bring him to AAE that spring. With steady care, love, and patience, he’s blossomed into a handsome young gelding with a soft nature and a playful twinkle in his eye. He’s friendly, curious, and enjoys being around people, though he still carries just enough mischief to make you smile.

He enjoys people, explores new things with curiosity, and fits easily into herd life. He’s the kind of horse who makes friends without trying. Each week, you can see him relaxing a little more, learning that gentle hands and kind voices are something he can rely on.

Niko is fully up to date on vaccines, hoof care, and deworming, and he’s been gelded and microchipped. He’s ready for the next chapter, one that includes a home where he can continue to grow, learn, and settle into himself.

He’ll thrive with someone experienced with young horses, and who values patience, steady guidance, and letting a horse come along at his own pace.

THEO

Theo was born shortly after seizure, and was about two weeks old when he arrived at AAE with his mom Ella. He was watchful, distant, and perfectly content to let the humans keep their distance. But little by little, curiosity won out. Mealtime visits became his safe window into this strange new world, and over time, he realized that the two-legged creatures weren’t nearly as scary as he’d imagined.

As the nursery group grew, Theo found comfort and confidence in the company of other foals. First came Noah and her mom, Norah, and later Sweeney and her filly, Tyler. The youngsters created their own little herd, chasing, napping, learning, and figuring out life together. Even after some of the group was adopted and the babies were weaned, Theo continued to flourish in the pasture, spending his days romping with his friends and settling into the rhythm of herd life.

These days, Theo is such a fun character to watch. He’s expressive, a little proud, and always full of personality. He’s still developing confidence, especially in new situations, but he keeps taking steps forward. And he’s still growing, too. Every time you blink, he looks a little more like the handsome young gelding he’s becoming.

Theo has been gelded, is current on vaccines, deworming, and hoof care, and is microchipped.

He’s ready for a home of his own. And if someone is able to adopt Niko and Theo, it would truly be something special for both boys! They are buddies and love to play together.

Could you be the one to give Niko or Theo (or BOTH!) their happily-ever-after this holiday season? If so, submit an adoption inquiry form!

Chilly Pepper – We do still have a Water 911…..

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2025 chilly pepper equine rescue, Equine Rescue, equine welfare, equines 0

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

The water situation is a bit dire. The total estimated costs to get the water fixed is $2400 +/-. This is not something that can be postponed or put off. The part that was already changed was $590, and they want to be paid for that today.

I need to keep my ranch hand here until I am recovered from my injuries, (at the very least). He is unbelievable and does so much of the work for free. However, he does need to be paid something so I can keep him here. At this time, I medically cannot do what I need to do, so having him here is imperative to keep these animals cared for.

In spite of the water emergency, everything else is going well, PTL! and the horses are healing from their personal horrors that some have previously experienced. THANK YOU, MY BEAUTIFUL CHILLY PEPPER FAMILY. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!

If anyone would like to help us get the water fixed and keep my ranch hand, it would be much appreciated.

THANK YOU to our amazing donor(s) who paid off BOTH vet bills, and sent money to finish paying off the last load of hay and to order some Colostrum. Without your amazing support, this rescue would have to close, as so many are doing lately.

My count was way off. We have 27 horses, many of whom are PR – Permanent Residents. This is due to being injured, special needs or part of our Sunshine & Smiles program. We are working on getting the unhandled kids halter trained, and ready for adoption, but it takes time and money. The following kids are who y’all take care of. With so many it reminds me why I need to keep fundraising for their feed, special needs, medical care, hay and supplements. (AFA – available for adoption.)

The horses here are: Honeybandit (PR), Midnight Onxy, PR (30 yr blind ISPMB mustang) Anicka, PR (blind ISPMB mustang), Wendy, PR (terrified mustang that was brutally beaten and tripped.) Grandpa Phantom, PR (wild, very old mustang), Misty, PR? (aka bullethead) came in shot in the head but doing wonderfully.) DaBubbles PR (mini survived Mt. Lion attack), Ratchet, PR (mini hinny). Little Man, (huge BLM colt with OCD, whom would have been euthanized). PR??

Samsung, AFA (16? yr old, failed bucking draft cross). Feather AFA (4 yr old previously starved /abused mustang filly). Tarzan AFA (11 yr old unhandled mustang). Miracle AFA (4 yr old? Blind in1 eye – unhandled mustang).Morengo AFA (Gorgeous 5 yr mustang – currently in training)

Apollo AFA (3 yr old unhandled mustang), Dakota, PR (5ish Cryptorchid stallion – unhandled & going blind), Tyler PR mini. Rowdy PR – donkey. Lilah AFA? badly abused donkey. Reba AFA? (4 ish unhandled donkey). Jax PR (abused gelding grandpa who had the stab wound). Taco AFA (1-2 yr old as yet unhandled colt). Cherry AFA (>1 yr- ? beautiful filly who had horrific ankle injury – healed & ready to start). Audrey PR (Very old mare with ongoing medical issues due to complications from the plate in her leg.)

Moonshine, PR (Horribly crippled, pregnant mare from the starvation cases.) Whisper, PR (Starved pregnant Arabian rescued in NV starvation cases.)Bradley, AFA? (older gelding from starvation case.) I am pretty sure that is everyone lol.

Thank you as always for being there for Chilly Pepper and all the critters you helped save!

Thank you again from all the Kids.

Chilly Pepper – It’s Thanksgiving, 22 horses and we have no water :(

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2025 chilly pepper equine rescue, Equine Rescue, equine welfare, equines 0

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

Happy Thanksgiving. I hope all is well with you and your families.

Things are great here EXCEPT for the fact there is no running water. With 22 horses, running water is a huge necessity.

I am so thankful for each and every life we have saved or changed. I am thankful for each and every donation y’all have sent. The truck is fixed and paid for. Thank you!

We need $1400 to finish paying off both vet bills. Doc really needs to come out asap and decide the best treatment for Moonshine. She is really struggling with her injured hips and I need to pay off the bill prior to him coming back out.

I have no idea how much it will be to fix the well, and hopefully someone will be coming out tomorrow. I will keep everyone posted with regards to the water and the repairs.

Thank you as always for being there for Chilly Pepper and all the critters you helped save!

I still have not been able to order the Plasma, but hoping that will change soon.

Thank you again from all the Kids.

Hats Off to This Month’s Sponsor: Elk Grove Milling

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2025 AAE, all about equine animal rescue, Equine Rescue, equine welfare 0

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:

Our business sponsors are an essential part of the work we do at All About Equine. Through their support, expertise, and generosity, they help ensure every horse receives the care, safety, and opportunities they need to thrive. We’re grateful for these partners and proud to highlight them in our Sponsor Spotlight series.

This month’s sponsor spotlight is Elk Grove Milling, Inc.!

Today we’re excited to shine a light on a wonderful, local business who stands with us, supports our mission, and helps keep our horses’ bellies full: Elk Grove Milling, Inc.! Elk Grove Milling Stable Mix and Senior Stable Mix are our primary supplements at AAE, and the horses love their EGM!!

What inspires you to be a Boots and Bling sponsor?

We are inspired to support Boots and Bling as a sponsor because the fundraising from this event supports AAE’s highly effective initiatives to offer an array of support to equines in need.

What else do you want people to know about you?

Elk Grove Milling, Inc.’s social support of equine and animal rescues is founded on the premise that quality nutrition is a necessary component of responsible and ethical stewardship.

The Holiday Season Starts Here at AAE

The holiday season has officially arrived, full of sparkling traditions, cozy moments with loved ones, and that wonderful mix of reflection and anticipation as we look back on the year and forward to the one ahead. At AAE, we have a tradition we look forward to all year long, and we’re excited to share it with you.

We have two special save-the-dates to help kick off the season:

Our annual December tradition is back! Each day, you’ll receive a heartwarming story about a horse you’ve helped: rescues finding safety, longtime residents finding their person, brand-new arrivals starting fresh, and touching reminders of why this work matters. These stories are our way of giving a little joy, hope, and gratitude back to you throughout the month.

GivingTuesday falls right at the beginning of our story series. This global day of giving is a chance for all of us to come together and see how when we unite around generosity, amazing things happen for horses-in-need.

We know your inbox gets busy this season, and we’re deeply grateful whenever you choose to open our emails and share in this mission.

Thank you for letting us be part of your holiday traditions. We can’t wait to fill your December with stories, gratitude, and a whole herd of heartwarming moments.

Two Weeks. Two Sales.

Huge Savings.

We’re doing something extra special: two two-week sales in a row! That’s double the time (and double the deals) compared to our usual single-week sale.

Beginning 11/18 through 12/1, enjoy unbeatable deals on select saddles ($50 or 50% off) and take 20% off all AAE Merch. Whether you’re upgrading tack or grabbing gifts, it’s a great way to save while supporting the horses you love.

A Tribute & A New Beginning

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2025 AAE, all about equine animal rescue, Equine Rescue, equine welfare 0

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:

A Tribute & A New Beginning

When one light fades, another begins to shine. Though we just said a painful goodbye to one precious soul, we now welcome a very needy new mom and her puppies — the universe works in a mysterious way reminding us that love continues, hope returns, and every ending opens the door to a new beginning. This time, it’s the canine kind.

label Label Birdie

Just a few days ago, the call came from one of our volunteers, Page. She and her boyfriend, James, found a stray female dog while they were trying to help some feral cats. This sweet dog was found scavenging for food along the river next to a golf course. With the help of a humane trap, and with a little encouragement with fresh food, within seconds, there was a new beginning! After learning that Sac County Animal Services was closed, Page and James made the call to AAE. They were able to bring her here to ensure her safety and a second chance at life. By the time they got to AAE and within seconds of unbundling her from her towel, much to everyone’s surprise, we discovered she had milk. No doubt she had depleted her reserves before venturing away from puppies to find more nourishment.

Needless to say, Page and James returned to the golf course in search of mama’s family. Poor mama, she must have been worrying terribly. By the time they got there, the sun was setting, and it was difficult to see anything, but they tried. Before giving up, they went to the golf course and asked for permission to access their side of the fence to look for mama’s puppies.

They were happy to help, and mama was loaded on a golf cart, and everyone was escorted out to hole 5. As Page, James, and little mama walked to the far fence, they heard squeaking in the bushes along the fence line, and sure enough, they were able to spot a small pile of wiggling furballs tucked into the blackberry brambles. They managed to get in there and pull them to safety, one by one. One, two, three, four!! As each came out, they were snuggled up to mama. Each of the puppies wasted no time nursing, and she licked and cleaned them, reassuring she was there for them. After pulling out four living, breathing, healthy-looking puppies, she seemed relieved and content.

After a thorough search within the surrounding bushes, Page and James made sure no one was left behind. They collected the reunited family of five and headed back for the night.

All five were covered in fleas, and mom was very thin. Pups were eating well, and besides exhausted, they all seemed relatively healthy. Mom was carefully introduced to food, and with regular good food and fresh water, all the babies gained at least ten percent of their body weight overnight, and all seem to be doing great.

Page and James founded a non-profit called People Supporting Paws earlier this year, and we are working collaboratively to ensure mom and puppies get that second chance they deserve.

Meet the family! Birdie (mom) appears to be a small chihuahua mix, weighing in at a mere ten pounds, and the four puppies: Bartley (black/white male), Bogey (black/white female), Cinco (tan/white male), and Sandy (white female). When they were found, their eyes and ears were still closed meaning they were likely less than a week old.

This family of five is headed to the vet this morning. They’ll all have wellness exams, and we’ll make a plan for vaccines, deworming, flea removal, heartworm testing for mom, microchips, nail trims, S/N, and anything else that may be discovered during evaluation. Whatever they need, they’ll get, and they’ll be available for adoption once pups are weaned and ready.

DONATE

Mom and pups are at AAE receiving care. AAE and People Supporting Pawsare working together to ensure we can meet all of the needs for this family of five so we can ensure a bright and loving future for these beautiful canines.

Can you help the golf course puppies and their mama?

Chilly Pepper – QUICK Truck Stuff

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2025 chilly pepper equine rescue, Equine Rescue, equine welfare 0

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

Hi,

This is the truck that is down and needs urgent help. I have personally pulled over 100,000 loaded miles for the rescue. We currently are running a trailer that is 4 feet shorter, but still heavy, especially when loaded. The other trailer is a heavy duty, 3 box stock trailer and that is also extremely heavy when loaded. This truck has hauled hundreds and hundreds of horses, starved, wild, injured and sick.

I thought some of you might like to see how hard she works and why it is so important that I keep her in perfect condition, safe and running efficiently. The repairs ensure that I can safely stop and pull up and down the hills.

THANK YOU, as always. The horses love you!

When I started this rescue, I owned 2 homes that were paid off, a Custom Harley, a jet boat, a corvette, a custom truck, and financially I was pretty set. Now I live in a singlewide that leaves much to be desired, have no more toys and have given everything I can to save these horses. I simply have nothing left. However, it was worth it, and we have saved so many horses that are happy and living great lives. Together, our Chilly Pepper Family has made a difference in literally hundreds and hundreds of lives over the last 20 years.

Thank you again from all the Kids.

Music has his wings

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2025 AAE, all about equine animal rescue, Equine Rescue, equine welfare 0

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:

Music has his wings

We are deeply saddened to share that over the weekend, we helped Music across the Rainbow Bridge. Music’s response to food and treatment wasn’t progressing, and his appetite and energy were inconsistent and declining. A visit from the vet to give him fluids quickly changed when something shifted within him. The moment turned into a quick decision to help him across the Rainbow Bridge. Sad as it was, it was the kindest thing we could do.

A necropsy was performed, and preliminary results indicate he was dealing with liver disease. We’ll know more when we get final results.

Music enjoyed the company of humans, and this sweet old man definitely appreciated the love and kindness he was given by our volunteers. Special thank to Leah and Kim for spending some nights with him.

After some time to say goodbye, Music’s pal, Pancho, was introduced to some smaller furry kids to help him through his loss, and we think his new friends, Zeke and Jelly Roll, are doing just that.

On a side note, Pancho had his dental last week, and while he was sedated, the farrier went to work on his hooves. They look amazing, and Pancho is adjusting to his new “feet”. They seem to be feeling a little better every day.

Thank you to everyone that helped give Music and Pancho get the second chance they deserved. Sadly, we don’t always get the outcome we want, but it helps knowing Music’s final days were filled with loving care in a safe place with a buffet full of good food (aka, several variations of alfalfa). Fortunately, Pancho seems to be headed in the right direction.

If you weren’t able to donate previously, and you’d like to honor Music and help with his veterinary costs (and Pancho’s, too), we’d appreciate the help. You can click the button below to donate.

Thank you!

Chilly Pepper – When it Rains it Pours…. Please help if you can.

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2025 chilly pepper equine rescue, Equine Rescue, equine welfare 0

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

Hi,

The new kids are settling in well. I am so surprised that they have such thick coats when they are so starved. Yes, we have had much worse, but considering there were 4 total that had passed from starvation on the property, I seriously needed to say yes.

I do have a very urgent plea for help. The truck is in the shop, cannot be driven until it is fixed, and the estimate ranged from $2500 to as high as $9,000 worst case scenario – IF the turbo and assembly needed replaced. I will know more in the next few days, but Chilly Pepper need this truck running. It for is used for hauling, feeding, and anything and everything the rescue needs. The horses and donkeys rely on everything this truck respresents. We cannot move without it.

We are now down to 2 bales left of Alfalfa. Bales are around $100 or more, and are between 1000-2000 pounds. These kids are hungry, and with the other starvation cases we recently picked up, the Alfalfa is disappearing at an amazing rate. Another load should be around $1400.

I will post more photos as soon as I have a chance. THANK YOU! as always. The truck is always maintained properly and religiously, but with the miles it runs for the rescue, there will be times when it needs extra maintenance and repairs.

Giving Thanks for Those Who Give Back

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2025 AAE, all about equine animal rescue, Equine Rescue, equine welfare 0

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:

With Thanksgiving approaching, we are reflecting on what we’re grateful for, and our volunteers are at the top of the list. From mucking stalls and feeding the horses to helping at the tack store and behind-the-scenes, you bring heart to everything you do.

This November, we’re sending extra thanks to three outstanding volunteers who embody the spirit of giving every single day.

Meet Traci B.!

AAE Volunteer for 4+ years!

What do you do as an AAE Volunteer?

I’m shift lead at the barn on Friday mornings. I make sure all horses get their medications, supplements and feed as well as take care of any necessary wound care or treatments that are needed.

What do you love about AAE and/or volunteering at AAE?

I love watching the transformations! It’s very rewarding to see a horse come in at such a low point in their lives and be able to help them on their journey to finding their forever home. Every neglected or unwanted horse deserves a second chance! Even when the ending is not so happy, it feels good to know those horses felt loved and cared for by AAE volunteers during their final days.

Who is your favorite AAE horse and why?

Sage and Elvie (pictured above with Traci)! I was blessed to be able to adopt this bonded pair a little over a year ago and will forever be grateful to AAE for bringing them into our family. They are such sweet souls and are a daily reminder to me of the wonderful work AAE does.

Meet Wendy K.!

AAE Volunteer for 4+ years!

What do you do as an AAE Volunteer?

General animal care and special projects. Mostly Saturday morning shifts.

What do you love about AAE and/or volunteering at AAE?

Caring for these magnificent horses feels like an honor and privilege. It is fun and rewarding work, most satisfying. I enjoy working beside the other volunteers who share my same love and passion for horses. It’s fun! The shift leads are amazing people. I respect them immensely, they make the work a pleasure. I’m incredibly proud to be a volunteer at AAE. It is my happy place. <3

Who is your favorite AAE horse and why?

Every horse at AAE is my favorite when I’m with them. If I must name one, Cassadee has my heart. She is a lover; so gentle and sweet. She is easy to work with and enjoys being groomed.

Meet Joani L.!

AAE Volunteer for 6 years!

What do you do as an AAE Volunteer?

Give the horses the love and care they deserve. This includes grooming, feeding, cleaning their stalls, paddocks, and pastures, and anything that is needed at both the ranch and AAE’s Tack Store.

What do you love about AAE and/or volunteering at AAE?

I love AAE because it gave me a purpose after moving from a place I called home for over 60 years. Volunteering at AAE, I get time every week to be with the horses and the friends I have made since I moved to this area I now call home.

Who is your favorite AAE horse and why?

My favorite horse changes with every intake! I loved Zena and Barney and still do. Zena was given the gift of a forever home, and Barney crossed the Rainbow Bridge to run free with his love, Sierra.

If you’ve ever thought about volunteering, fall is the perfect season to gobble up the chance! Sign-up for an orientation, and come lend a helping hand (and heart) this fall. We’d be grateful to have you join our herd!

TAKE ACTION: Protect California’s dwindling wild horse population →

California’s most iconic wild horse herds are under threat of mass roundups and removals. After years of being terrorized by brutal helicopter round ups, only 3,000 wild horses remain in the entire state of California.

Without intervention, the bloodlines of these iconic herds could be lost forever. Will you sign our petition to Governor Newsom and the California state legislature’s leadership calling on them to protect California’s wild herds and recognize their cultural, ecological and historical importance?

October at a Glance

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2025 AAE, all about equine animal rescue, Equine Rescue, equine welfare 0

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:

It’s been a spook-tacular month full of happy updates and hopeful new faces. Thanks for being part of the magic that makes it all happen! Read on to find out everything that has been happening, and how you can get involved with AAE this fall.

And don’t forget… our 2nd Chance Auction ends this Friday! Get those bids in before the clock strikes 4pm!

ROSIE

Rosie came to AAE in June 2025 with five other horses in partnership with a Nevada law enforcement agency. When we first met her, Rosie was timid and unsure, but underneath that worry was a gentle heart waiting to shine. With a little patience (and encouragement from her travel buddy, Huck), she settled in at AAE and began gaining confidence every day.

Rosie is a sweet mare enjoys attention now that she’s learned to trust humans. She’s curious, affectionate, and showing more of her personality as she relaxes into her new routine. We’ve loved every moment with her, but we’re over the moon to share that she’s found her perfect match! This lucky girl will be heading home soon!

Thanks to all of you for your support with the Nevada 6. As a result, Rosie is looking so much better, feeling so much better, and she’s starting the best new chapter of her life, forever loved.

MUSIC AND PANCHO

We recently introduced two new intakes: Music and Pancho. You can read their full story here, or here’s the quick version:

When law enforcement reached out for help with three wandering horses, we were able to welcome two into our care: Music, a ~26-year-old Arabian, and his companion, Pancho, a ~20-year-old pony.

Music arrived frail and exhausted, his body showing the toll of years without proper care. With emergency treatment and gentle, round-the-clock support, he’s slowly finding his strength again. Pancho, though in slightly better shape, has signs of long-term neglect, and carries a deep fear of humans, yet he’s never left Music’s side through it all.

These two have endured more than any horse should, but their story is far from over. They are eating well, and making progress, but Music’s condition is still guarded. He’s still on the weak side, and we’re doing what we can to support him while he regains his strength. He has a follow-up with Dr. Stolba today. Please send more prayers his way!

With your help, we can fill the rest of their days with comfort, care, and love.

Their second chance starts now, and it starts with you. Please join us in welcoming Music and Pancho and helping them begin this new chapter of care and healing.

Donate to help Music & Pancho

Stay tuned for information on sponsorships, auction donation needs, and more! Until then, save the date!

Chilly Pepper – A Saturday Surprise – 3 starved horses need your help!

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2025 chilly pepper equine rescue, Equine Rescue, equine welfare 0

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

Wow – It has been a day.

I received a phone call and was literally brought to tears. A donation that covered the last of the hay costs for the load we just got, and the left over to go towards saving Tarzan. Together y’all did it. Thank you so much.

The 2nd call – A 911 for 3 starving horses. Sadly others had not survived, and I was told it was “GO TIME”! The situation was considered to be an emergency and an hour later we were on the road. No time to fundraise, just say a prayer and run on faith.

This rescue always has run on Faith, and God has sent me so many angels. We sure need you now. When the balance of the hay was paid, there was several hundred dollars to start covering the costs for Tarzan. We still need to cover hauling, his vetting, both in WA and in NV, and getting his hooves done.

Now we have 3 unexpected lives to care for. They are so sweet, and so very thin under their winter coats. It is impossible to see how thin they really are, but it is bad. Sadly others at the same place did not survive.

We need help to get these kids healthy and ready for winter. We also need to pay the vet bills in WA and NV, and to also cover the upcoming ones.

Thank you for being so amazing and always stepping up for the horses. I simply had no time to worry about raising funds for the “Saturday Surpise Kids”. We just had to make sure they got here quickly and safely. I so appreciate you guys helping them as well as Tarzan.

Thank you to everyone who has already stepped up to help. It literally means life for these horses.

Thank you again from all the Kids.

Anyone who wants to help is much appreciated.

Help Music and Pancho Heal from Neglect

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2025 AAE, all about equine animal rescue, Equine Rescue, equine welfare 0

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:

PANCHO & MUSIC, IT’S THEIR TIME TO HEAL!

We got a call from a nearby law enforcement agency late last week, and they were seeking assistance with three horses. This time, we could help only two, and thankfully, another rescue helped with the third. After a lengthy haul, we got back to AAE late Tuesday. We named them Music and Pancho. These two pals were found wandering the streets while their owner was in the hospital. They have a long history with law enforcement (years and years), and they have each endured more than any horse ever should.

Music Buddies Pancho

Music is a ~26 year old Arabian gelding. He came to us in really poor condition. He’s severely underweight and in need of hoof and dental care. Though he seemed stable Tuesday night, he was struggling more than we knew. As we were making our morning rounds Wednesday, he was down and had difficulty getting back on his feet. He needed urgent care. Thankfully, Dr. Stolba was already heading to AAE to follow-up on another health issue, and she was able to see him, too. Shortly after she arrived, he went down again, and he didn’t want to get up. You could see in his eyes, the “try” was gone. With quick help from some meds, Dr. Stolba managed to get Music back on his feet. He stood quietly for fluids, vitamins, and other meds, and we bundled him in a blanket for support in the chilly air. His labwork showed he was very dehydrated, and he has Cushing’s, among a variety of other abnormalities, but hopefully nothing he can’t overcome.

The fluids and meds gave him a much needed boost, but by nightfall, he was slowing down, again. He got another round of fluids, and his appetite was growing. After a small meal, he laid down to rest his weary body. With round-the-clock observation, we were able to help him get back on his feet in the middle of the night when he couldn’t do it alone. Once up, he had another small meal, then several more throughout the day. By late afternoon, he managed to rest and rise on his own. Friday was another good day, and so far Saturday, he’s looking good, and his spirits are strong.

Pancho is a ~20 year old pony gelding. He is in better condition than Music, yet still shows signs of long-term neglect. He’s a tad thin, his hooves are long and slippered, and no doubt, his teeth need help, too. Poor guy is fearful of humans, and he struggles terribly with trust. Regardless of his condition and fears, this adorable little man has stuck by Music’s side through it all. Pancho will need some extra efforts with his hoof rehab along with plenty of time to build trust with us two-leggers.

These two ol’ gents both deserve safety. They both deserve comfort. They both deserve a future filled with love. Their future starts now.

This is where the heart of our community makes all the difference, you make second chances possible. Together, we can provide the care they need as they begin this journey toward strength, trust, and a better life.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps lift the weight of neglect from their backs and replaces it with hope. Join us in welcoming Pancho and Music into a life filled with care and compassion.

Can you help rewrite their story starting today? Your generosity now gives these two a fresh start and strengthens our ability to respond when the next call for help comes in.

DONATE

As we’ve mentioned before, it is vitally important that we support law enforcement agencies with cases like these. We want the agencies to know they will have our ongoing support whenever they need to step in and intervene on behalf of those who can’t advocate for themselves. When you support AAE, you support law enforcement agencies.

Please consider donating if you can.

As with all intakes, Pancho and Music need monthly sponsors (or teams of sponsors), too, to help AAE cover their ongoing maintenance costs until they find their forever person or family. Supporting monthly maintenance costs once the crisis has passed is truly the hardest part to sustain. Every recurring donation helps.

Become their Hero and learn about our sponsorship program here.

DONATE

Your donations, volunteering, adopting, and social media shares & likes really do make a difference; it’s what makes all of this work possible!

Thank you!

Chilly Pepper – It’s crunchtime for Tarzan. He needs help now if he is going to have a chance

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2025 chilly pepper equine rescue, Equine Rescue, equine welfare, equines 0

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

Urgent

We still need $1550 and that is just to cover the hay.

We need funds for transport, to get him vetted for travel, emergency vet care when I get him home and he needs help immediately.

The total needed to cover the hay and get him home and to start his care is $3500 Please let’s get him home and the help he needs. (That includes funds to get him his x-rays and initial vet care).

If you look at his eye pictures, the top one shows his distrust, fear and the betrayal he knows. I need his eyes to match the 2nd picture, where there was no fear or anger.

If you look at his legs, they are twisted and crooked. If his coffin bones are not destroyed it will be a miracle. My heart is broken. I need to help him.

I am praying this is not the end of an era. Without funds I cannot do the work. Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated. It looks to be a very cold winter and we have alot of special needs. Maybe it is time to hang it up; hopefully not. However if I cannot provide the proper care and supply enough feed it will be time to close the rescue.

Will you PLEASE help us make sure Tarzan can come home and gets the help he needs??? He DID NOT deserve this, and my heart is crushed into a million pieces.

Thank you to everyone who has already stepped up to help. It literally means life for these horses.

Thank you again from all the Kids.

Chilly Pepper – Update – Urgent help needed – Taco needs your help now!

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2025 chilly pepper equine rescue, Equine Rescue, equine welfare, equines 0

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

Will you help Taco? This beautiful little guy is just a baby and needs groceries asap, as well as supplements and special feed.

We are almost out of hay, and the truckload that had been “donated” is no longer available. I have a load coming tomorrow and it will be around $2500. I really need help to pay for it. I am a little embarrassed as I should know that you only count on what is actually in your hands. Not sure what happened, but I imagine life had alot to do with it. A heads up that we were no longer being gifted the hay would have been ideal, but I am truly grateful for the hay we actually got to feed. The horses loved it. However now I am in a pickle as we need to pay for the load coming tomorrow.

Sadly, Morengo and Apollo are back with us. In spite of their adopters paying a local gal who is said to be a “trainer/farrier” $900 per month PER horse, the horses were not even able to be halter trained. There was no progress made and the folks were unable to get the horses’ feet done. It is seriously hard to even find a farrier, let alone ones who do wild horses. Folks – if you need help, please ALWAYS reach out.

Doc came out twice to lay them down as it was an urgent situation and they needed their feet done asap. Both boys are so happy to be back home and it’s heartbreaking when folks actually put out the funds to get their kids trained and end up with a trainer who cannot actually do what they offer. It seemed like such a great situation as we did not realize the trainer was incapable of handling wild horses.

I believe our current vet bill is around $1000 and we have a cat emergency this week. One of the strays we are in the process of catching was stepped on by a horse. (Not the one in the photo.) I need to trap him/her as I believe we will need to have Doc amputate the bottom half of her tail as it is already infected.

Once again life is requesting lots of funds to keep things going. ALL the horses are doing well and Audrey and Trojan are gaining weight. I need to get them more alfalfa tomorrow, as they seem to eat non stop. Doc looked at Audrey’s leg and is afraid the infection is in her bone. Prayers appreciated for her healing. Miracle got to join his new “herd” today. He is loving not being isolated.

Thank you as always for the love and support.

Thank you again.

Anyone who wants to help is much appreciated.

Take a Peek at This Month’s Adoptable Star: Theo

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2025 AAE, all about equine animal rescue, Equine Rescue, equine welfare 0

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:

The Road to Home series celebrates the special horses who are ready to find their forever families.

This month’s spotlight shines on Theo, a young Arabian gelding whose energy, intelligence, and charm make him truly unforgettable.

THEO

In late 2023, officers discovered 24 abandoned horses on a remote high-desert property, left without food, water, or care. With winter approaching and the herd’s condition worsening, authorities stepped in to provide support, but sadly, a few did not survive. By February 2024, the herd was officially seized, and the following month, AAE stepped in to help, welcoming 15 of the horses, including mares with foals, young fillies, and a colt born shortly after the seizure. That colt was Theo.

When Theo and his mom Ella first arrived, he wanted nothing to do with people. Not even for a second! But with time, patience, and plenty of mealtime visits, his curiosity began to peek through. Slowly, he learned that humans weren’t so bad after all, though he still preferred the company of his four-legged friends.

When another mare, Norah, and her filly, Noah, joined Ella and Theo, the little herd began to grow. Later, Sweeney and her filly, Tyler, joined in, too. The youngsters quickly bonded and could often be seen frolicking together in their paddocks. What a joyful sight after such a rough beginning!

Now, Theo is blossoming into a proud, spirited young Arabian. He’s full of personality and growing like a weed! He still needs to build more confidence, but we know he’s sure to make someone a wonderful companion.

Theo was castrated at about six months old and is current with hoof care, vaccines, deworming, and microchipping.

If you sound like a good match for Theo, we’d love to hear from you — you can fill out our Adoption Inquiry form to get started.

Even if you can’t adopt, you can still help! Please share Theo’s story, someone out there is ready to open their heart and home.

Shift lead, help horses heal, feed horses, but mostly love and take care of the horses, some photography, and adoptions.

What do you love about AAE and/or volunteering at AAE?

I love that we help so many horses. I’m thankful for the friends I have found at AAE. It is a healing place to be.

Who is your favorite AAE horse and why?

Tio. Him and I had such a strong bond that I can’t explain. He helped me so much after my son died. Weird to say, but he helped me keep going. We also both had a lot of physical pain so we just got each other. I miss him so much.

What do you love about AAE and/or volunteering at AAE?

I love being part of such a wonderful organization that truly cares for the health and well-being of horses. It is truly inspiring to see these neglected or otherwise cast aside souls flourish in a such a caring environment.

Who is your favorite AAE horse and why?

Rimes (pictured above) and Trinity are my favorites. I love their spicy personalities! It is very rewarding to see how they have developed trust, in large part due to the consistency of care they now receive at AAE.

Introducing Intern Anna!

Please help us welcome Anna K. She joins us through a Monty Roberts connection, Denise Heinlein, Monty Roberts Certified Instructor in Germany. Anna is our first Pilot Hill intern, spending 90 days with AAE to gain experience and learning about caring for and rehabilitating rescue horses in America.

“My big dream was always to get some day to America, and as I had the chance to get this internship here on the Horse Rescue Farm, I took the chance, and here we go!

My background is a whole life of being with animals as I grew up on a cattle farm with horses and a big race barn with about 70 horses at my grandpa’s. As I grew up like this, I like it to work outside with animals, and for me it is a great basis to explore America. ”

Besides learning about and helping horses, Anna has some American dreams, and she’s hoping some adventurous AAE volunteers might help her fulfill some of those dreams.

“While here, I’d really love to go to a rodeo, see large cattle farms, go and visit an Western barn where reining horses are trained, meet some REAL Cowboys, not the fake ones! Go in some nice bars where locals (and Cowboys) go to, go somewhere where live Country music is played, go line dancing, go and get some boots and a Cowboy hat, see some Mustangs in the wild, also going to wilder and more open landscapes like in Montana or Nevada…go to Virginia City, and the Ponderosa (I’m a Bonanza fan), go to San Francisco and buy me a new Guitar (or somewhere else, I just want to get one from America, because I am also a Country singer and a big fan of the American Country music). I don’t know how is the today’s music culture in San Francisco, but if there is some, I would really appreciate to get in some.”

If none of those align with your interests, she has more….

“Have a little hike in the Yosemite National Park or El Dorado National Forest or somewhere else, go to some lake and swimming, see the Folsom Prison where Johnny Cash sang. Maybe go to some open stage evening where it’s possible to sing on a little stage, and have a fire & music evening together.”

I really appreciate to work with you all guys and hope we going to have a good time together. I am working every day morning and afternoon, except for Saturdays and Sundays.

See you at the barn!”

If you’ve ever thought about volunteering, there’s no trick to it, just lots of treats, smiles, and horse hugs as you help horses transition to better health. Sign-up for an orientation, and come join the herd this fall. We’d love to have you!
