All About Equine rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes abused, neglected, abandoned horses, both wild and domestic, as well as those headed to auction and slaughter. AAE is a volunteer-based, non-profit organization, and donations provide support of our horses, programs, and operations. AAE was founded in 2009 by a couple of individuals who were heartbroken to see large numbers of horses being neglected, abandoned, or sent to auction/slaughter due in part to the economic downturn experienced by much of the country and Northern California, in particular. Wanting to make a difference, they determined to do all they could with what resources they could muster. They worked to turn a small family-owned ranchette into a working horse facility, and in June 2009, the concept of the rescue became a reality when the first two slaughter-bound mare/foal pairs were brought in from a foreign-owned slaughter feedlot operation in Nevada. Since that day, more than 185 horses have found their way through AAE's barn doors and are living healthy, happy, productive lives through the heroic efforts of our volunteers and the financial contributions of our donors. Thank you to all of YOU who have made the dream of saving these beautiful animals possible!
