Monroe's Story
Monroe is a young reservation mustang who came to AAE at the end of December 2023 with Miles through collaboration with another organization. Monroe is not quite a two year old filly. Sadly, Monroe miscarried an estimated four-month-old fetus shortly after she was rescued (yes, at not even two years old). Monroe and Miles had been with a foster family who didn’t have much experience with mustangs. They were unhandled, and, as a result, they hadn’t had any vet care, vaccines, or hoof care. There was no adoption interest through the other organization, they weren’t making any forward progress with gentling, and there wasn’t another foster who could take them. The organization approached AAE with a request to transfer. Thankfully, we had a several adoptions at the end of the year, which gave us the opportunity to help these two youngsters.
Monroe is a sassy little filly with a ton of confidence! She is adorable, and she tries hard to understand! She is curious, level-headed, and very willing. After quarantine and once the heavy rains let up, we had a chance to spend some quality time with this little gal to earn her trust. She's halterable with a slow approach, she leads, and she's willing to try what's asked of her, but she needs to be sure your intentions are good. She's come a really long way in a short time! She was dewormed, and she had her spa day the end of February (dental, front hoof trim, vaccines, and microchip).
Monroe enjoyed a holiday at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center where she spent three weeks participating as a student project in the 15-day Advance Course of Horsemanship. With her student, she learned to went through the starting process: trust building, introducing tack, including a surcingle, longlining, and a saddle introduction. It was a wonderful learning opportunity for her, and she came back to AAE with new skills and experiences.
Monroe is current with hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming, and she has a microchip.
Monroe found her family and she was adopted!
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, a pig, 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.
