Nash's Story
Nash came to AAE in February 2021 with Jack. They were taken in from a distressed sanctuary situation. They lived in a herd environment with approximately 10 other horses (mares and geldings). Nash was bossy in the herd, and he ran many of the other horses off feed.
Nash is a big, handsome ol' guy. Nash loaded readily when picked up. As far as we know, he was never trained under saddle. For the most part, he is easy-going and gentle. He enjoy's attention, grooming, and interaction. He is halterable and good with his hooves (cleaning and farrier). He's good with fly spray and putting a fly mask on. Nash enjoys being with his girls in pasture, and he can be possessive. He gets anxious when separated.
Shortly after arrival, Nash's hoof and dental care were updated, as were vaccines and deworming. Nash was also tested for Cushing's and results were negative. Nash loves the girls in the herd, and he's always trying to make them his! He's pretty uncomplicated. It's sad he wasn't started under saddle when he was younger.
Nash is current with hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming, and he has a microchip in place.
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, 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.
