Moon
Jakers
Rusty Penny Axl Rose
Sunshine
Moon is a beautiful Friesian/Connemera Pony cross. She was registered as a sport horse but those records are gone. She came to AHH with a bad split in her hoof and a low thyroid condition. She loves people, horses and jokes.
Meet Jake or barn name "Jakers". This sweet boy has been with AHH just a few months and already we are seeing signs of healing. His asthma is getting better and he loves his new pasture mate "Fable". He is a calm happy guy who loves attention and yummy mash.
Our newest addition and youngest member of the herd Axl is a sweet silly baby of the group. He enjoys learning things from Ritz and being a yearling. He is as gentle as they come and just wants to please, but is not sure what that might mean. Axl hurt his leg pretty badly as a 2 month of age. He got his back leg wrapped in baling twin and hurt himself pretty badly. He still has a limp and difficulty controlling that leg. When he was gelded we had x-rays done to see if he had any bone splinters or other issues we could treat. The vet said it was a waiting game to see if the ligaments that were cut would heal. We love him as he is!
Sunshine is a Paso Fino mare. She was part of a small herd with her mom and a blind quarter horse. She became a seeing eye horse staying by his side for years. Unfortunaly her people had some health issues and she foundered. After 2 years at AHH she is showing improvement and is no longer in pain.
Fable
Ritzer
Mastadon
Ozymandiez
Fable is a Thoroughbred/ German Warmblood who was used in a breeding program. She had a tough history. She was not cared for and had been living without clean water, moldy hay to eat, and was living in knee deep poop. When she arrived at AHH she was untouchable. She did not know kindness from humans and acted accordingly. I was told by my farrier that she may hurt me. As she realized I only wanted to help and listened to her needs she calmed down. She is still very sensitive and needs to meet new people slowly. Fable is the sweetest mare when you earn her trust.
Ritz is a beautiful highly sensitive TWH. He was used as a show horse and not given the opportunity and support to learn to trust himself. He has big anxiety moments and loves the security of his people.
This beautiful 10 year old gelding is 1/2 Gypsy and 1/2 Clydesdale. We like to call him "a fun sized draft." He has an impacted tooth that has grown into his jaw. He often gets headaches and needs gentle slow movements. He may need emergency surgery at any time and is closely monitored. He was living in a small barb wire pen before he moved to AHH. He has reminders of this time with many facial scars.
Ozzie is a beautiful black Gypsy. He was living in a small barbwire pen with his brother. He was a stallion when he came to AHH and was gelded. He still has the mindset of a stallion and a ton of personality. He has Chronic Progressive Lymphedema (CPL) which is a severe condition characterized by progressive swelling and thickening of the skin on the lower legs of Draft Breeds with feathering. He is watched carefully for pain management and living his best life at AHH.
