Georgia's Story

Georgia came to AAE in May 2020 after her family lost their house in a fire and life shortly before further complications due to COVID-19.  Shortly after intake, her hoof and dental care were updated, along with vaccines, deworming, and microchipping.
 
Georgia leads, ties, trailers, and was used as a riding horse.  She enjoys grooming and attention.  She was impatient with the farrier, but manageable.  She can be pushy on the ground and under saddle. She has a very basic knowledge under saddle and could use more education. She does not know how to move off the leg, and is only direct rein pull educated.  We have not seen any major behavioral issues, but she's not suitable for a child or beginner.  Georgia will be best suited for a confident, intermediate person. She can be a little looky, and we have only ridden her in the arena. We have not had her out on trail. Likewise, we have not turned Georgia out with other horses in a herd environment, but she gets along over the fence with mild mannered horses; she can be snarky over the fence with more dominant horses. 
​
Georgia is current with hoof and dental care, vaccines and deworming, and she has a microchip in place.

In general, there is a log of activity around AAE including 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.  ​
