Once haltered, Allie seems to enjoy grooming, accepts fly spray. Her front hooves can be handled and cleaned, gently; however, when attempting to trim the hind hooves, her legs seem tender around the scars, she's very protective, and she has kicked. For now, she needs sedation to trim hind hooves. The cyst area occasionally fills and has slight drainage; , and the area is sensitive; two vet exams have been inconclusive, and it appears to be mostly scar tissue. Due to her age, sensitivity and safety concerns, with vet consultation, we've all concluded the risks outweigh the benefits to Allie to try again to remove the mass.
As far as we know and can tell, Allie was never started under saddle, and due to her age, lack of confidence, and the cyst over her ribcage, she is not a good candidate as a riding horse. Allie is best suited for a companion home with someone that is easy-going, has low energy, and enjoys the trust-building experience with horses and the bond that follows. She is not suitable for a beginner. Allie is most happy in a herd environment and she tolerates humans and interaction, but has yet to find comfort and confidence with humans.
Allie is current with dental and hoof care, vaccines, and deworming, and she has a microchip. Her cyst area may need future vet evaluation, but for now, no significant issues have been identified.
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, and weekly farrier visits. There are various resident animals, as well as various wildlife in and around paddock/pasture areas. AAE is on a busy road with high speed vehicles, trucks, and sirens. Tractors and trucks are used in and around pasture/paddock areas. Therefore, horses at AAE are accustomed to a more active environment as opposed to a quiet/sterile environment.
