Nash's Story
Nash came to AAE in February 2021 with his buddy, Jack. Nash is a good-sized 2002-ish Spanish mustang. Nash and Jack were picked up from a distressed sanctuary situation after local law enforcement intervention and imminent eviction. These horses were fed, but other basic needs had been neglected for at least a year, likely longer. Nash and Jack had lived in a herd environment with about 12 other horses (mares and geldings) and a couple donkeys. We were told Nash was bossy in the herd, and he ran many of the other horses off feed. We were also told he was friendly and handleable, but he had never been started under saddle.
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 is a big, handsome ol' guy, and he sure loves the girls in the herd. He's always trying to make them his! He's pretty uncomplicated, though since he's been housed in a large pasture in Pilot Hill, he's a bit more evasive than he was. He enjoys the herd life, and It's sad he wasn't started under saddle when he was younger. He has a pretty droopy topline, so he's probably not a good riding prospect at this point.
Nash loaded readily when we picked up him up. He . For the most part, he is easy-going and gentle. He enjoy's attention, grooming, and most kind human interaction. He is halterable and fairly good with his hooves (cleaning and farrier), but can get anxioius if there's a lot of activity. 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 can also get anxious when separated from the girls.
This sweet guy really needs a non-riding companion home where he will be spoiled and well-cared for. Considering he's a mustang and has had ample space to roam for at least a few years, a home pasture environment would be best (as opposed to a boarding environment).
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.
