Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Kaya was part of a collaborative rescue effort in Fallon, NV that saved more than 30 horses from purchase by a slaughter buyer. Kaya arrived at AAE on March 25, 2014. She was in decent weight as far as auction/rescue horses go, but she unloaded lame after her long haul to AAE. She was in shoes, and it was obvious they had been in place far longer than they should have. Radiographs revealed some laminitis and thin soles, primarily in the front right, but also hind left. She was also initially believed to be pregnant, but was not. She was said to be a younger mare by the auction rescue team, but it turns out her dental showed she’s likely a mid-20s mare. Her teeth were in very poor condition, and she thanks Melissa Shurr, CEqDT and Dr. Stolba for their kindness in helping her back to good health.
She is an affectionately sweet mare that enjoys any human attention and grooming. Her ground manners are very nice, and she seems to be a solid riding horse (probably and old ranch horse). She does best with front and rear shoes, but for pasturing with other horses, she has front shoes only. She is current with vaccines, deworming, and dental and hoof care.
