Let's Deck the Stalls with Boughs of Plenty for 2018
 
31 days to 2018, YOUR donation means more horses can be helped!
 
On the 6th Day, there was Shelby!
Shelby is one of several horses that has come to AAE after abandonment by an owner or previous owner.  Sadly, too many horse owners feel they have no other option than to abandon a horse and leave them to fend for themselves for food, water, and shelter.  Many end up in shelters in poor condition, while others are injured, or worse, lose their lives to injuries or accidents. 

Shelby is a 6-7 year old QH-type mare that came to AAE in April of 2017 when her new owners realized they did not know enough about horses to provide proper care. They had taken her in after she had been abandoned in their neighborhood.  When we arrived to pick her up, it took about 2.5 hours to earn her trust and place a halter on her.  She was fearful and reactive, and acted as if she'd been abused or otherwise mis-handled.  She was in fair condition, but had several abrasions across her body.

Since arriving at AAE, she has learned to trust and enjoy human interaction.  She is a sweet, social mare, and really enjoys grooming and attention.  Shelby does fairly well with hoof handling, though she is a bit impatient with her fronts; they are a work in progress, while she does well with handling/trimming hind hooves.  She has moments of nervousness, but is usually willing, always thinking and trying to understand what is being asked.  
Shelby has been living in a herd environment with mares and geldings.  She is middle of the herd, and has no special needs. 

She is ready for a person of her own and advancing training to the next level.  Shelby will do best in an experienced home, and her person should be patient and willing to take as much time as it takes to develop her confidence as she learns new things.
