Miles's Story
Miles, a three year old reservation mustang and little stud colt, came to AAE with Monroe at the end of December 2023 through collaboration with another organization. Miles and Monroe had been with a foster family who didn’t have much experience with mustangs. They were unhandled, and, as a result, they hadn’t had any vet or dental care, hoof care, or vaccines. They had no adoption interest with the other organization, they weren’t making any forward progress with gentling, and there wasn’t another foster who could take them. The organization approached AAE with a request to transfer. Thankfully, we had a several adoptions at the end of the year, which gave us the opportunity to help these two youngsters.
Miles is a little gem! He is absolutely adorable! He is curious, level-headed, and very willing. After quarantine and once the heavy rains let up, we had a chance to spend some quality time with this sweet guy to earn his trust. It didn't take long before he was halterable, and he could lead. He's willing to try whatever is asked of him. He's aproachable, gives his feet willingly, and he approaches for interaction.
He came a really long way in a short time! He was dewormed, and he had his spa day the end of February (dental, front hoof trim, vaccines, and microchip). His hind hooves were a work in progress, but he was willing to try in no time. Miles was gelded, and his confidence and willingness grew by the day. He was energetic and playful with other horses, and he really kept moving forward and growing by the day.
Miles is current with hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming, and he has a microchip.
Miles found a wonderful person, and he was adopted and will no doubt become the grandkid's dream pony!
In general, there is a lot of activity around AAE including vehicle and foot traffic in and out of paddock/pasture areas, mucking with wheelbarrows, grooming and care activities, tractor and trailering, weekly farrier visits. There are resident dogs, cats, goats, a pig, cows, and mini horses, as well as various wildlife including frequent turkeys, squirrels, rabbits, deer, coyote, and bobcats in and around paddock/pasture areas. A portion of AAE is situated along a highway 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. Horses at AAE are accustomed to a more active environment as opposed to a quiet/sterile environment. Some do well; others will do better in a more quiet environment.
