Shop and help horses!

Background

AAE has accepted tack donations since inception of the rescue in 2009. Initially, we used all donated tack for handling, evaluating, training, and riding at AAE. As tack donations increased, we had more than we needed, so we began selling our surplus tack to raise funds for feed, veterinary expenses, and other needs.

Over time, our tack inventory grew, and we had occasional tack sales as better ways to raise funds for the horses. As awareness of AAE grew, so did everything in our tack trailer. We continued to receive some amazing and incredibly generous tack donations, However, we became overwhelmed by tack.

As a result, AAE searched for a retail space for some time. Fortunately, in 2017, we found an ideal spot in Shingle Springs that offered retail space as well as office and warehouse space. Although it wasn't in the most visible location, the store was also in close proximity to our favorite feed store, Lees' Feed, which made for an easy stop after your AAE store visit.

In 2024, the AAE relocated the store to it's current location at 4050 Durock Rd #6 in Shingle Springs. This location is less than a mile from the original location and offers greater visibility and improved parking. Stop by and check us out. We're open daily, noon to 4p.

How You Can Help

If working at the barn helping with the day to day care of the horses isn't your cup of tea, there are many ways to help at AAE's Used Tack Store. The two most obvious ways are to donate tack or volunteer and help at the store.

Tack Donations: New or gently used tack is always welcome. When tack is donated, AAE updates our barn inventory first, then excess is transferred to the store inventory. We very much appreciate tack that is delivered and in sale ready condition (e.g. clean and conditioned). However, when necessary, we can arrange pick-up of donations, and volunteers can help with cleaning and preparing tack for sale.

Volunteer: The store hours are limited by volunteer availability to keep the store open. If you love horses and like working with people and tack, this is a great place to be. We need help cleaning and preparing tack, and all areas of store operations (e.g. picking up tack donations, online sales, promoting the store and donations, marketing, merchandising, decorating, etc.).

If you would like to help help horses and help with the store, please send an email to [email protected], and describe your interest and experience with horses/tack, retail sales, marketing, pick-up/delivery, online sales, or however you think you can help.
