A Nevada law enforcement agency contacted AAE in May 2025 about a group of six horses that may need placement. Originally, a group of eight horses were seized by law enforcement due to neglect, and two of the horses were in such poor condition, they were euthanized. The six horses were later confiscated by the court, and ownership was transferred to the agency. While awaiting the court\'s decision, the horses were housed and cared for at the Nevada Department of Corrections. When we met Copper, this lil\' man\'s confidence had been broken and he was very stressed! He wasn\'t a bit frantic, and he wasn\'t willing to be haltered. After settling in a few days, Copper eventually calmed and was more agreeable to haltering. Given time to decompress at AAE, this guy has become a sweet and gentle ol\' guy. He seems to understand the basics, and he\'s agreeable with hoof handling. As soon as he\'s done with quarantine, he\'ll have his much needed spa day (dental and hoof care, vaccines, deworming, and a microchip). He\'ll make a visit to the clinic for castration, too. Once he\'s been gelded and has time to adjust to his new hormones, he will be further evaluated, then available for adoption. Stay tuned for more updates. Copper is current with dental and hoof care, vaccines, and deworming, and he has a microchip. 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.
