Thea's Info...
| Breed: | Quarterhorse Mix | Color: | Bay | Age: | Young |
| Size: | Medium | Sex: | Female |
Thea was part of the 2011 November Rescue Miracle coordinated by Stinkin’ Rose Ranch where 71 mares and young horses were rescued from a Nevada feedlot. Upon rescue, the horses were placed at a temporary boarding facility, but they still needed homes with permanent adopters. While many were adopted, others were still there as of the beginning of the year. AAE stepped up in late January to take in several pregnant mares, including Thea and her handsome colt, Carter. Thea is making great progress since arrival at the ranch - she is now halter-broke and is learning her ground manners and working in the round pen.
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).
