Lola, an approximate two-year old reservation mustang, came to AAE with Liza, another young reservation mustang, in mid-January 2024, through collaboration with another rescue organization. Lola and Liza had been with a foster who didn't have adequate facilities for gentling mustangs. The two girls were unhandled/unhalterable, they had no adoption interest, and there were no other fosters available to help. They weren't making any forward progress with gentling, and as a result, the girls had not had any basic care (e.g. dental, hoof care, vaccines, etc.). Lola was possibly pregnant, as well. AAE was asked to assist with a transfer. Thankfully, AAE had several adoptions at the end of the year paving the way to help with these two girls and two other young reservation mustangs from a similar situation.

Lola is a diamond in the rough! Besides her good looks, she is quiet, level-headed, and willing. After quarantine and once the heavy rains let up, we had a chance to spend some quality time with this sweet girl to earn her trust. She's halterable, she leads, and she's willing to try what's asked of her. With a slow, quiet hand, she can be touched across her body, and she willingly gives her feet. She was dewormed, and she had her spa day at the end of February (dental, front hoof trim, vaccines, and microchip). Her hind hooves will be trimmed soon.

Lola just returned from the Monty Roberts International Learning Center where she participated as a student project in the 15-day Advance Course of Horsemanship where she went through the starting process: trust building, introducing tack, including a surcingle, long-lining, and a saddle introduction. It was a wonderful learning opportunity for her, and she came back to AAE with new skills and experiences.

Lola is available for adoption, and she is looking for a home with an experienced person to continue her learning and progress as she matures. She is current with dental and hoof care, vaccines, & deworming, and 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.
