As we count down to 2024, join us every day this month as we share stories from the barn that show how your support has helped horses this year and every year.

He may not be a Griswold, but Granger is going to enjoy a fun old-fashioned family Christmas in his new home this year!

GRANGER

Granger was living with a small herd of horses in a large, dry pasture. He is a senior (born ~1992) horse with very worn out teeth, and he was left to survive on dry weeds. He became emaciated, and fortunately, in the summer of 2022, law enforcement stepped in before it was too late.

Once at AAE, Granger began a refeeding program consisting of soaked alfalfa pellets. After he was done with quarantine, he got the works: hoof and dental care, vaccines, deworming, and a microchip, and some diagnostics, too. Based on his very aged teeth, our vet estimated he was likely about 30 years old. (Age is difficult to determine after about 18-20, but his teeth were that aged.) Despite the condition in which he came, he rebounded nicely, with no apparent long-term health concerns, though diagnostics did show he has Cushings. Granger was started on daily medications for Cushings, as well as another daily med to support his joints.

Granger is sweet and respectful. He was protective and defensive around food when he first came to AAE, but he learned to leave those behaviors behind. We were told he was used as a trail horse in his prior life. Due to his age and arthritis, his riding days are behind him, too.

We are so thrilled ol' Granger found a wonderful family this fall! He is being loved on and doted on as a companion, both for his humans and a senior mare.
