JoJo's Story

 JoJo came to AAE in November 2022 with Charley because their owners were downsizing and moving across the country and could not take them. They were their riding horses, but had not been ridden in many years. Her trail career ended when she refused to get in the trailer one day.  Jojo was described as bossy, aggressive with her mouth, and the more energetic of the two. She has a history of being a biter, but hadn't had any biting incidents for several years. 

Upon arrival at AAE, Jojo and Charley were in good condition and brought up-to-date with basic care needs (dental, vaccines, hoof care) prior to transfer to AAE; however,  they did get some vaccines, deworming, and a microchip. They're on the maintenance schedule now.  Charley has some arthritis and rotation in her front left leg. She Jojo was started on Equioxx after looking a bit stiff when moving around the roundpen at liberty, Jojo is curious, confident, and active-minded.  She's a bundle of energy and likes to be on the move. She adapted well to the changes from moving to her new environment. Jojo and Charley are somewhat attached, but have somewhat a love-hate relationship.  Jojo has separation anxiety when Charley leaves the area for treatments, and she paces and paws at the panels/ground.  We're working on that.  If the behavior escalates, it takes a while for her to settle.  When in hand and separated, she tends to get very pushy and forward.  We're working on keeping her mind with her handler, developing patience, and slowing down.

When not anxious, she has relatively good ground manners, and she's easy to handle. She's good with the farrier and handling her hooves.  She was a very nervous loading when we picked her up, panicky at moments, but she eventually loaded. It was a relatively good experience other than her moments of panic.  She'll need some work if outings are part of a future plan.  Jojo would make a nice companion for a person and/or another older, limited horse.  She and Jojo would probably love a home together, but they'll probably be happy with new friends, too. Jojo may be a light riding candidate.  We're at initial stages of evaluating, so until we can explore further, she'll be adopted as a non-riding companion. She will need an experienced person to manage her anxiety and grow her confidence.  If you can keep her mind in check, she's a nice lil' gal.
​

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, pigs, cows, and mini horses, as well as various wildlife including frequent turkeys, squirrels, deer, and coyotes 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.  Horses at AAE are accustomed to a more active environment as opposed to a quiet/sterile environment.
