Wylie's Story


Wylie is a 20-ish Haflinger that came to AAE in May 2022 when his owner was unable to manage severe allergies. She felt her environment was the source. He was an itchy mess, and his skin was reacting from head to toe. The skin on his belly was thick and leathery from the chronic reactions, and he had rubbed off most of his mane. Upon arrival, his hoof care, dental care, and vaccines were update, he was dewormed, and he got a microchip. He was started on antibiotics for a skin infection. An allergy panel showed he was allergic to just about everything under the sun. Poor mister!

Wylie was started on allergy treatments, and he wore a full fly sheet for most of the summer. He looked like a gladiator. He was also treated with fly sprays and wipes a couple times a day. He also started a weight loss diet. It didn't take long for his skin to start to dry and heal.

Wylie was transitioned out to a pasture, and quickly dominated the herd. Then he decided he wanted a mare or two to be his girls, and he ran off the rest of the herd. He was not friendly. After a while, it was too much so we transferred him back to a paddock of his own. Troublemaker! 

Wylie is beginning to look like a normal horse again.
His skin is clearing up, his hair is growing back, and a mane is sprouting back. He's much more comfortable now. We think he's a pretty cool guy! We recently started exploring some saddle work with him, and he's showing promise to be part of our riding program, if all works out, though his herd behavior will need to improve.

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, chickens, and mini horses, as well as various wildlife including frequent turkeys and squirrels 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.  Neighbors have weekly gardeners that utilize various power tools, and children that are active in yards adjacent to some stall/paddock areas.  Horses at AAE are accustomed to a more active environment as opposed to a quiet/sterile environment.
