Lainey's Story
Lainey originally came to AAE with her very elderly gal pal after they were abandoned. Their owner was going through a divorce, and she left the two long-eared ladies with friends to help care for them. Sadly, the friends didn't have any experience with donkeys or proper care. After about six months, the friend moved out of state, leaving these precious girls behind. They were on an all you can eat diet of grain hay. Lainey was obese, and had a very bulging belly. She needed hoof care, badly, too, but didn't care to have her hooves handled.
After she was done with quarantine, she had her health and beauty day. Lainey had hoof and dental care, vaccines, deworming and a microchip. It turned out Lainey has two large abdominal hernias from being spayed when she was younger, and her intestines bulge through the hernias. You can see them roll under her skin. She was also tested for Cushings, which was negative.
For a donk, Lainey is soft, sweet, and kind. She loves, loves, loves her humans, and she loves being groomed. She has the softest lips, and she loves to nuzzle you wherever she can, but she likes to nibble, too. She's a volunteer favorite, and she gets lots of love and attention. Sadly, Lainey's ol' gal pal passed in the night after they'd been with us for several months, so she moved in with the mini horses for companionship.
She eventually went out on adoption to be a companion to an older gent donkey. Sadly, he passed after a couple years, and Lainey came back to AAE. Fortunately, she met Lillie Mae at AAE, and they be came new friends. They were very compatible, thankfully. Lainey needed a friend that wasn't a kicking threat. With her hernias, a kick to her abdomen could be catastrophic. It wasn't long, and these two lovely ladies were adopted together.
In general, there is a lot of activity around AAE including foot traffic in and out of paddock/pasture areas, mucking with wheelbarrows, grooming and care activities, weekly farrier visits. There are resident dogs, cats, chickens, and mini horses, as well as various wildlife including frequent turkeys and squirrels in and around paddock/pasture areas. AAE is situated on the corner of a busy road with high speed vehicles, trucks, and sirens. Tractors are used in and around pasture/paddock areas, trucks deliver feed, and a squeeze is occasionally used for unloading hay. Neighbors have weekly gardeners that utilize various power tools, and children that are active in yards adjacent to some stall/paddock areas. Horses at AAE are accustomed to a more active environment as opposed to a quiet/sterile environment.
