Phantom's Story

Phantom came to AAE in June of 2025 with five other horses in June of 2025. A Nevada law enforcement agency contacted AAE in May 2025 about a group of six horses that may need placement. They were waiting for a judge's decision. Originally, a group of eight horses was seized by law enforcement due to neglect, and two of the horses were in such poor condition that they were euthanized. Eventually, the court's decision resulted in a transfer of ownership to the law enforcement agency. While awaiting the court's decision, the horses were housed and cared for at the Nevada Department of Corrections. While in their care, the horses were well fed, and we were told they gained weight and looked much better than when initially seized nearly three months prior.

When we met Phantom, this big, beautiful guy's confidence with humans had been broken, as had the others. He was very stressed, though you could see he wanted to trust. He evaded attempts to befriend him, and he wasn't immediately willing to be haltered. Eventually, he allowed a halter, and he loaded onto the trailer behind two of his friends, as if he knew what he needed to do. Phantom was thin, and his hooves were in poor condition. They desperately needed a trim. His body had quite a few scars. Apparently, a ring around a hind leg was a gaping open wound when law enforcement intervened. We can only wonder what these horses endured.

Given a little time to decompress at AAE, this guy is becoming a kind, gentle soul. He seems to understand the basics, and he's agreeable with hoof handling. As soon as he's done with quarantine, he'll have his much-needed spa day (dental and hoof care, vaccines, deworming, and a microchip). Once his basic care is updated and as his body condition improves, he'll continue with further evaluation. Once we have a better understanding of his behavior and needs, he'll be available for adoption. Stay tuned for more updates.
​
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, and weekly farrier visits.  There are resident dogs, cats, goats, cows, a mini donkey, a mini mule, and mini horses, as well as various wildlife, including frequent turkeys, squirrels, rabbits, deer, coyotes, and bobcats in and around paddock/pasture areas.  Tractors are used in and around pasture/paddock areas, trucks deliver feed, and a squeeze is occasionally used for unloading hay. A portion of AAE is situated along a highway with high-speed vehicles, trucks, and sirens. 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 quieter environment.
