Whiskey's Story
Whiskey came to AAE in June 2023 with Maia, Portia, and Myers after the passing of their owner.
Whiskey is Quarter Horse/Arabian stallion and we were told he is 7-8 years old, though we think he’s probably a bit older.
We don't usually take stallions, and we weren't going to take these two until we saw them. Besides their condition, these boys were tied to stakes on about 15' ropes, and the two mares had been in adjoining paddocks. We had to set-up paddocks suitable for stallions for quarantine and housing, but we got it done.
Whiskey was mostly a gentleman, though we were told we had to watch out for him. He definitely has some studly tendencies, but for pick-up and transport, he was soft, sweet, and scared, especially loading into the trailer, though he loaded slowly, he loaded willingly.
Once at AAE, he was started on an alfalfa diet (consistent with UCD’s protocol for refeeding malnourished horses). He's a handful. As soon as he stabilizes and gains a bit of weight, he will be castrated and have hoof and dental care, vaccines, deworming, and a microchip. Once done, he'll continue handling/evaluation before he's available for adoption.
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, pigs, cows, and mini horses, as well as various wildlife including frequent turkeys, squirrels, deer, and coyotes 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. Horses at AAE are accustomed to a more active environment as opposed to a quiet/sterile environment.
