Brodie's Story
Brodie came to AAE in March 2021 with Kyrie. Their owner was moving out of state, and her home for them fell through at the last minute. The two lived in a large pasture for years. He is halterable, but has little training or exposure. Handling his hooves was difficult, at best.
Shortly after arrival, Brodie's teeth and hoof care were updated, as were vaccinations and deworming. He got a microchip, and DNA analysis. Brodie is a clean slate with no mis-handling, no known injuries, and a willing mind.
Brodie is a big, handsome guy, and he's a big sweetheart, but lacks confidence. He bonds to his pasturemate(s) and neighbor(s), and experiences separation anxiety when one or the other is moved away from "home". He is athletic and moves very nicely. Brodie is with a trainer building his confidence, and he'll be started under saddle when the time is right.
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.
