Help Save a Life Today

All About Equine Animal Rescue, Inc. (AAE) relies on the selfless giving of its donors to continue its mission. The generosity of our caring donors allows AAE to continue its successful rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming programs.  With high cost of hay and feed, along with medical, dental and trimming expenses, AAE easily spends more than $5,000 per month just in basic care alone.

The horses that find refuge here were being abused or neglected, abandoned, or sent to auction/slaughter.  AAE’s very important work to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome these horses relies on our horse-loving community.  Please help us continue to care for these horses.

​Your tax deductible donations, horse sponsorships, community grants, and volunteer efforts are greatly needed and appreciated. AAE offers several ways designed for you to help that meets your interests and capabilities.  Choose one that works for you.
​
AAE is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (ID#27-0384523). Your donations qualify for Federal income tax deductions to the full extent of the law. Please discuss tax benefits with your tax professional.

Sponsor A Horse

All About Equine is supported in large part by the generous donations of our horse-loving community.  Without your selfless giving, we could not continue our successful rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing programs. At any given time, AAE cares for approximately 50-60 horses. With the high prices of hay and feed, plus medical, dental and trimming expenses, we spend more than $7,500/month for basic care. It typically costs $150 per month
