Hopi's Info...
| Breed: | Appaloosa Mix | Color: | White | Age: | Young |
| Size: | Medium | Sex: | Female | ID#: | 12-059-M |
I am in need of an experienced adopter and up to date with shots.
Hopi (est 2006) and her colt arrived at AAE with three other mares on 3/26/12. They were part of the November Miracle Rescue by Stinkin' Rose Ranch, a group of 71 horses rescued from NV feedlot in Nov 2011 (Mare #11). Both were very fearful of humans at first, but Hopi began to soften fairly quickly. With her mottled muzzle, she appears to be an appaloosa cross. She arrived with a skin condition around her eyes, and as soon as we can get her in a halter, we will have it evaluated. This poor girl could really use a sponsor to ensure she gets whatever treatment will be necessary, as well as special attention and handling from sponsor visits. Hopi will require an advanced handler with training experience. Visit our website for more info:

Rescue Group Info...
All About Equine Animal Rescue (AAE) is a 100% volunteer-based, not-for-profit equine rescue and rehabilitation organization located in El Dorado Hills, California.
AAE was founded in 2009 as a result of the down economy and growing number of distressed and auction-bound horses. Our passion for horses and disdain for the reality of slaughter, neglect and abuse prompted our formation. Too many horses are being transported across US borders and commercially slaughtered each year, and many more inhumanely die each year from neglect, abandonment, abuse, or improper care. We wanted to make a difference.
“By saving the life of one horse, we may not be changing the world, but we are changing the world for that one horse.” Author unknown.
Our main facility is located in El Dorado Hills, California on the Digiorno family ranchette, a 14.3 acre property with a 7-stall barn, a hay/storage barn, paddock areas, and a large pasture area with a seasonal creek. In addition to the horses, there are resident goats, sheep, and chickens, as well as dogs (Bouvier Des Flandres) and cats.
AAE is not open to the public; HOWEVER, visits to meet the horses and see the facility can be scheduled by appointment. Please call or email for further information.
AAE prefers you take your time in choosing your horse. You are encouraged to visit the rescue (by appointment only) to spend adequate time interacting with a horse before making a decision, as it is important to assure an appropriate match. AAE has an adoption process that includes an application process, an adoption agreement, and payment of an adoption fee.
Adoption fees are based on a multitude of factors including the horses’s age, type, and health status, as well as training and experience. Adoption fees are one of AAE’s primary sources of funds for recouping some of the rescue and maintainance costs associated with our horses. Adoption fees are returned entirely to the program and used for supporting costs associated with ongoing care of existing horses and future rescue efforts.
All About Equine Animal Rescue (AAE) is committed to saving and improving the lives of horses that fall victim to inhumane circumstances, most notably, horses that are abused, neglected, or slaughter-bound. AAE’s goal is to rescue and rehabilitate these horses and find them forever homes. When resources are available, AAE endeavors to provide public education and awareness programs for various equine welfare issues.
AAE’s program is 100% volunteer. We do not have paid staff. We expect our administrative costs to be a very small percentage of our overall budget. Administrative costs include insurance, postage, paper, copying, internet/website fees, and similar. As a result, we strive maximize every dollar of your tax-deductible donation to go directly to horse care and rescue (feed, veterinary care, farrier, auction recovery costs, transportation, equipment, supplies, and other similar expenses).
