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.

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!
