Willow at last has given birth! Her big, healthy filly arrived early on the 28th. Based on her huge baby belly, we thought Willow would be the first to foal; instead, she was the fourth of our pregnant mares.

Doesn’t baby Aspen looks exactly like her mother?

Even with the webcam in place, the birth apparently was missed by the viewers, as Kansas had her baby in the darkest corner of the paddock!  He was discovered practically by accident during the last barn check of the evening and was almost missed in the dark.

By the next morning, the little guy was up and about and ready to run.  He played for hours, testing his long legs running up and down the paddock. Of course, all of the activity was punctuated by occasional breaks for power naps!

Jessica, it turns out, also volunteers at and helps with fundraising activities for Habitat for Humanity, volunteers for her work’s charity projects/events, and helps with the VSP Mobile Eyes program. Oh, and she competes in endurance running events as well and just completed the Way Too Cool 50k trail race in Cool, CA, in a fabulous time of 7 and a quarter hours.

We have no idea where she finds the time, but we appreciate every minute she puts in with AAE, and we are so grateful that she chose AAE as the recipient of her $500 donation award!

Congratulations, Jessica! We applaud your drive, dedication and altruism!

“By saving the life of one horse, we may not be changing the world, but we are changing the world for that one horse.” Author unknown.

All About Equine Animal Rescue, Inc. (AAE) is a 100 percent volunteer-based, charitable 501(c)(3) non-profit equine rescue and rehabilitation organization located in El Dorado Hills, California.  AAE’s mission is to rescue and rehabilitate horses that fall victim to inhumane circumstances, i.e., horses that are abused, neglected, or slaughter-bound, and find them forever homes. Too many healthy, workable horses are being commercially slaughtered each year, and many more inhumanely die each year from neglect, abandonment, abuse, or improper care. Most of our horses are rescued from a foreign slaughterhouse-owned feedlot before they are transported to Canada or Mexico for slaughter.
We need volunteers! If you are interested in volunteering, email volunteer@allaboutequine.org. If interested in adopting, fostering, or sponsorship, email adopt@allaboutequine.org.

Sweet Part-Appy Pony

Zia was born in April 2010. Her mom, Zuni, arrived at AAE in June 2009 from a Nevada feedlot. Unbeknown to us, Zuni, already nursing a young filly, was pregnant! In March of 2010, Zuni became the subject of A Ranch Of Light’s “Horse Birth and Beyond” project, and Zia was born shortly thereafter. Part appaloosa, she has grown into an adorable little pony filly with a huge personality. At one and a half years old, she knows her basic groundwork and loves attention and grooming. She is very sociable. This sweet pony is ready for a family to love her, and she will give 100% in return! Email wendy@allaboutequine.org for more info or to schedule an appointment to meet Zia.
