Limited-Riding or Companion Horses
Tess
Sex: Mare
DOB: 2002 (est.)
Height: ~14.2
Color: Buckskin Dun
Breed: QH/Mustang
Adoption Fee: $450
Tess is a lovely 2002 buckskin dun QH/Mustang mare who previously was rescued by a kind soul, but whose own circumstances changed, causing Tess to be given up to AAE. Tess was in some accident prior to arriving at AAE, and has a couple old injuries. She has an impalement scar in her chest that causes some stiffness in her shoulder/elbow, but she moves freely with the herd in AAE's pasture (WTC). She also has an old fracture in hind pastern area with some arthritic changes. Vet cleared her for work as tolerated. She is a calm, gentle mare that enjoys attention, especially that of children. She has relatively good manners on the ground, and was started under saddle as of Oct 2012. Since she is sound at the walk only, Tess will make a wonderful lead-line pony or light-riding mount for the kids or grandkids with more time/training. Everyone who meets her falls in love with this mare's sweet, charming personality. She's an absolute love! More photos here or her Facebook album.

Miss Molly
Sex: Mare
DOB: 1996
Height: ~15.0
Color/Breed: Chestnut QH
Adoption Fee: $450
Good golly, Miss Molly! Molly is late teens/20ish mare who was rescued by a private party from a bad situation not once, but twice. The first time, she was rescued to save her from the threat of being shot by her owner because they wanted to move out of state. After rehabilitation, she was taken in by a new family, but 6 months later, was found neglected and in need of rescue again. Unbelievably, Molly was even thinner than she was the first time she was rescued. AAE took her in as her rescuer wasn't able to support another horse at the time. She has recovered nicely, and has a sweet and trusting disposition even after all the trauma in her life. She is likely a QH mare, about 15hh. She has been ridden western and handled well by a young experienced rider. She enjoys attention, grooming, and any interaction. She is in good condition and manages well in the herd, but due to her sway back, a small/light rider for light riding or a companion situation would be best or she would serve well with a leadline job. She did well when kept alone, but since she's been housed with other horses and the herd, she tends to bond with one horse and has some anxiety when separated. Molly really needs her own family where she will get regular loving attention. See more photos here or her Facebook album.
