Let's Deck the Stalls with Boughs of Plenty for 2018
 
31 days to 2018, YOUR donation means more horses can be helped!
 
On the 5th Day, there was Danny!
Danny's story isn't one of neglect, abandonment, abuse, or poor care.  Sadly, it's one of human health and aging.  Danny was loved beyond words.  So much, his former owner considered euthanizing him rather than risk him having difficulties transitioning to a new home, ending up in a bad home, or worse, the fear of auctions and the slaughter pipeline.

Fortunately, the timing was right and Danny has a couple special people in his life that paved the way for him to get to AAE.  Danny is the most kind, mellow, and affectionate horse we have known, and we are grateful he landed with us.  

Danny's owner's health was failing, and she was unable to provide ongoing care for him any longer.  Danny is 27.  He knew no other owner, as he was born to her mare.  Mama rejected him for four days, and on the 5th day, she finally accepted him.  Danny spent those four days with his surrogate mom while she held mom and made sure he was able to nurse.  It was a rocky start, but Danny and his other mom grew a bond like no other.  She trained him; she rode him; they competed together.  They spent 27 years together until they had to say good bye, and not because of death.  To say it was a sad day when we loaded Danny in the trailer is an understatement.  We all shed tears.

Danny will stay on with AAE as a resident, helping new volunteers learn about horses.  He will also participate in youth activities and any other related equine programs where we need a most trustworthy and dependable horse.  We are lucky to have this ol' guy, and I think he's enjoying befriending volunteers and visitors, alike.  Danny, you are loved!

For many, relinquishing a horse is terribly painful.  It means giving up a family member.  It's sad for everyone, even on the receiving side.  It can be a difficult transition for an older horse, as well, especially if they leave behind a buddy.  Even though AAE is providing a safe haven for a beloved horse, there is no pleasure in taking a horse from its owner when he or she really doesn't want to say good bye.

When acquiring a horse, remember they live long lives, into their 20s and 30s.  Think about where you will be then.  If you're aging, think twice about taking on a young horse; consider taking on an older horse
