Team AAE is currently en route to support a Nor Cal law enforcement agency with a large horse seizure. This group of horses was discovered abandoned on a large property several months ago and left to fend for themselves in high desert conditions. They were starving when discovered, and a few perished before law enforcement began providing feed and ultimately seizing 20+ animals. The horses were transported for care by the agency, and they have been housed at a public facility.

AAE is working with another rescue to support this law enforcement agency with this large group that includes mostly pregnant mares, a couple mature stallions, and several stud colts and fillies. AAE is focusing on the pregnant mares, a mare/foal pair, and fillies while the other rescue is focusing on the stallions/colts. AAE is on the road now to pick-up the heavily pregnant mares that are imminent to foal. We'll also bring back the mare/foal pair. Mom delivered a little colt (pictured above) in the last week, and they need to get to safety. We will know more about the remaining horses in the coming days.

One heavily pregnant mare has an infected leg; another young filly has a slipper foot; and thanks to feed provided by law enforcement, many that were malnourished are slowing regaining weight. They all appear to be friendly, willing, and handleable. Thankfully for most, their condition has improved since they were discovered. Nearly all (except the youngsters) need dental care, and all need hoof care, vaccines, and deworming. Some will need further diagnostics (e.g. hoof radiographs, pregnancy checks, etc.) along with treatment and any other needs discovered. Stay tuned for more info when we return.

Can you help us raise $6000 to help with the initial costs (approximately $500 per horse) of this intake? This should help with costs for transport, hoof and dental care, vaccines, deworming, and some of the other known issues. Additional funding will likely be needed as the mares deliver, and if additional vet needs are discovered, etc. Please help us get these sweet girls to safety. Take action, and donate now.

(Edited 3/21/24, increased from $5,500 to $6,000 to reflect intake of an additional horse)
