Fiona's Story

Fiona came to AAE the end of February 2026 via law enforcement as a result of a neglect situation at a boarding facility. She had large wound on her right foreleg, that was likely not being treated. Fiona was seen by vet and treated at a shelter, and she was mauling her bandage/wrap.

Fiona is a big, sweet 2024 filly, supposedly a QH/Draft. She haltered and loaded willingly at the shelter, and she traveled quietly back to AAE. Initially, she was protective of the wound and cleaning/wrapping, and kicking and biting was part of her MO. She soon realized we were working slowly and gently to clean and wrap (or more likely, pain was reducing). She has a recheck appointment coming up, but her wound seems to be healing well, slowly. It's a fairly big one; we'll add photos to the website, soon.

Once her wound has healed a bit more, she'll have her spa day and catch up with basic care needs. At two, she's due for her first dental; her hooves aren't terrible, but need a trim. All the while, we'll be getting to know her better, and once healed and ready, she'll be available for adoption.

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, 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.​
