Spirit's Story

Spirit came to AAE in September 2026 along with six other formerly “wild” horses whose elderly owner could no longer manage her small herd. After more than two decades of advocating for and caring for wild horses, she wanted nothing more than for her horses to have the chance to live out their lives roaming free again.

AAE provided a soft landing while the horses received much needed updates to their dental and hoof care, vaccines, and hoof care, and thanks to two wonderful sanctuary partners, six of the eight moved on to lifelong sanctuary homes, where they have plenty of room to roam. Suzi and Spirit, are the oldest of the group and will stay with us while they gain some weight, and we look for their forever home.

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, 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.
