Sponsor Charlie! Quarter Horse/Arab Cross

CHARLIE - ARAB/QUARTER HORSE CROSS
Charlie is our most recent rescued horse. She is approximately 16 years old and arrived on December 30th, 2011. A little underweight, and hooves quite long and in the typical chronic founder shape, she was limping on her left front a little due to some deep collateral groove thrush. We are treating the thrush with Pete Ramey's famous solution of 50% athletes foot cream and 50% anti-bacterial ointment. We have given her a set-up hoof trim, some straight grass hay, and a dry pasture all to herself so she can eat at her leisure without being bullied by the other horses. She is eating well and we have 100% confidence she will heal well!

Sponsor Rosie! Rescued Molly Mule

ROSIE - MOLLY MULE
Rosie is AFF's first rescue. She is a sweet natured white molly mule, with lots of love to give, and many happy trail miles still ahead of her. She enjoys ear scratches and the closeness of her human companions. At about 14hh, she is a wonderful size for the short among humans, and would make a great pack mule or as a trail riding partner. She has much potential still and is also up for adoption. Read her story here.

We understand there are many people out there who love horses, and would like to have one of their own, but perhaps don't have the means necessary to properly care for, are simply not ready to own one, or would like to educate themselves on what it takes to own a horse. If you are one of those people, consider sponsoring a horse from a horse rescue! It is a great way to help a horse in need and you would know you're helping in providing for its care, as well as learning about horses.

If you sponsor a horse at any tier level below you will automatically receive our quarterly e-newsletter, and monthly updates including pictures on the equine you sponsor. You will also be entitled to visit your sponsored horse! We request that you contact us ahead of time to make an appointment so we can ensure one of our staff members is present on your visit and can answer any questions you have.
