Cruelty Case

AAE was contacted by a nearby law enforcement agency for medical assistance for two horses from a cruelty seizure. There were two additional horses on the property, and one of whom was in very poor condition and euthanized. The other was a stallion who was adopted through the agency. AAE updated all basic needs (hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming), as well as microchipping and DNA analysis, as well as other diagnostics/treatment needed (e.g. radiographs of swollen pastern, etc.).

Stray/Abandonment Case

AAE was contacted by a nearby law enforcement agency for foster and medical assistance for three horses from a stray/abandonment situation and ultimately, transferred. One of the horses had an old, unhealed laceration over her fetlock, another had very long, neglected hooves, and the third had a nail in her hoof. The three fosters were transferred to AAE when no owner came forward to claim them. AAE updated all basic needs (hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming), and microchipping and DNA analysis, as well as other diagnostics/treatment needed (e.g. radiographs of long hooves and nail in hoof, wound treatment, etc.).

Neglect Case

AAE was contacted by a Nor Cal law enforcement agency for assistance with a neglect case involving 21 horses, which became 22 horses when a colt was born after seizure. We were told law enforcement stepped in when they learned of horses who had been abandoned on a large, remote, high desert property. Law enforcement provided care for the animals from late 2023 until mid-February, when they seized 21. Three additional horses had died, one prior to law enforcement intervention and two shortly thereafter. Another rescue was contacted, and together, we supported this effort. In the end, AAE took 15 of the horses (pregnant mares, mare/foal pairs, and a young, sickly filly), and the other rescue took seven (two mature stallions and young five stud colts). These are mostly younger Arabian horses. The condition of the horses had improved, overall, since law enforcement stepped in; however, all were in rough shape. Basic care had been neglected for some time. In general, body conditions and hair coats were in poor condition, especially the foals and weanlings who were heavily matted. Hooves were in poor condition with long toes, high heels, splits, cracks, and even one long slipper toe on a young filly. Dental care was needed for the older horses. Arabian stallions (and potentially mustang stallions) had been running with the mares, so the older fillies and mares are all potentially pregnant. AAE will be updating all basic needs (hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming), microchipping, DNA analysis, and pregnancy checks, as well as other diagnostics/treatment that may be needed (e.g. radiographs of slipper hoof, wound treatment, post-delivery foal testing, etc.).
