All About Equine Animal Rescue, Inc.

Have been following the work of the group since being introduced to it by a friend who volunteers. Such an important rescue and home for so many horses with no other resource for care. Hope to volunteer one day when work allows.

Well run organization! I have worked at another volunteer rescue organization and I am very impressed with how this one is run!

I started volunteering 7 years ago and have learned so much about horses and have made many great friends. The transformation that happens from when a malnourished, neglected horse arrives to when they find their forever home is not only rewarding but the reason I continue volunteering and getting more involved.

I’ve been a sponsor and a donor to this incredible sanctuary, All About Equine. The care they give to the horses and other animals is amazing. They deserve to be a part of and awarded funds from Great Non Profits. I’d give them 10 stars if I could!!

All About Equine is a great rescue that truly cares about the well being of all the animals! They do great work and I love being able to volunteer here.

I’ve helped volunteer a couple times at AAE and the passion behind this nonprofit is incredible. They really do do everything in their power to take care of the animals on their property.

I have been a volunteer at AAE since September 2017. AAE has provided my life purpose I have not experienced with any other non profit or for profit organization I’ve had the pleasure to be involved. There is a satisfaction and joy that comes from seeing a malnourished, neglected or just suddenly homeless horse be habilitated, receive love and attention and then find their forever human. I absolutely love love love AAE and what we do for horses, one at a time.

I am proud to support AAE and all the wonderful things they do for the horses. I am forever grateful for this incredible organization. Thank you AAE and all that you do.

This is an amazing place! I love the idea of a horse rescue. All About Equine rescue is professional, Caring, run as a nonprofit should be run, and donates its time not only to the animals, but to our community. AAE goes above and beyond just being a rescue!

All About Equine is the real deal. Guided by their mission of rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming horses, they hit the mark…every day! Horses that end up there, for whatever reason, have the best chance of living a full, happy, and loved life. As long-time volunteers and donors, my wife and I appreciate AAE’s all-about-the-horses culture. Thank you, Wendy and everyone at All About Equine for always doing the right thing!

This year marks 10 years I have been volunteering with this non-profit. You don't put in that much time or energy if it wasn't top notch!! I love this organization and all the volunteers that devote their time and passions for saving these beautiful animals. We are making a difference together.

All About Equine is a wonderful place to volunteer. You get to help horses and be around such great people. It is a very healing and beautiful place to be.

just someone who loves AAE, help us raise visibility and awareness of our work in the community and beyond. They need potential donors and volunteers. Great Nonprofits is the #1 source of nonprofit stories and feedback and every 4+ star review gets us closer to being on their list of 2023 Top-Rated Nonprofits!

So pleased our community has an organization with so much passion and dedication to help these beautiful animals.

I have been volunteering at AAE for 11 years. This is a wonderful place to volunteer. The director who truly cares for all the animals that come in - some of which would have been put down at other facilities - are given a fighting chance at AAE. You cry at the sight of some of them at intake but after the awesome care they get - from the volunteers to the vets and farriers - you celebrate their transformation. Everyone really cares and it shows. This is a place of love and caring.

I spent two days volunteering here until I severely hurt my back. This place is incredibly organized and well kept with selfless, caring people are devoted to provide the best care & life possible for these magnificent creatures. They are highly respected by the entire community.

I have worked as a volunteer for AAE for over 2 years now, choosing to volunteer for a horse rescue because of my love of animals but having no real horse experience. Over the last few years I have seen many horses arrive in heart breaking condition, many on the verge of starvation and others with serious medical problems. Almost all have been accommodated, loved, fed, and nursed back to health. A least one did not, an old race horse that was just skin and bones. She was one tall horse! At first she had no energy and could barely eat but as she progressed back to health and gained weight she proved to be a sassy old broad with a real mischievous sense of humor. Who would have figured this old gal had it in her? What a great horse! Unfortunately, she had just too many complications and did not make it. But, thanks to the AAE volunteers, her last months of life were comfortable, well fed, in the company of other horses, and she was given plenty of love. We miss you Gabby!

As an avid lover of all animals-I am so grateful for All About Equine and the opportunity to be a part of this organization. The compassion and care that goes into the animals is truly a gift. These animals know only love, demonstrated by staff and volunteers everyday. Each and every one of the animals at AAE deserve and will live a happy, healthy life surrounded by caring hands.

I'm very proud to be a part of All About Equine. This organization is exceptional. Mostly volunteer-run, everyone does their part, and more, to care for the horses, support efforts at the the ranch and beyond, and make sure that every part of this organization runs smoothly. AAE takes in horses in-need, often the most vulnerable horses in the community. Each horse is treated as an individual, receiving excellent care, re-training and matched with just the right adoptive home. AAE provides permanent sanctuary for those horses that cannot be adopted.
All About Equine takes their role in the equine rescue community very seriously. AAE is fiscally responsible and transparent, provides proactive education programs, and strives to set an example for responsible and compassionate care of horses and all animals.

I volunteered to handle a horse. Ended adopting her. They help some real sad cases. Then work hard to keep them well and fed. Hatd working people

I recently started my journey into finding my forever big baby, and while I haven't gotten a chance to actually make a trip out there yet due to the fires, the members of AAE are EXTREMELY sweet and knowledgeable! I have only been able to communicate via email and the timely responses are amazing! Even when they're currently evacuated! They also seem to have matched me up with the perfect horse and I'm beyond excited to meet the staff of AAE AND my beautiful girl!

The best and most fulfilling place to volunteer! AAE and everyone involved always put the horses first. So many horses saved through this amazing rescue ������

I have volunteered at this Non-Profit in the past and I can say that they all care tremendously for their animals. Mostly horses but not limited to horses. Mini's, goats, donkeys, etc. I enjoyed my time there and saw first hand how committed leadership is with taking care of their animals in their care. They help them get whatever medical treatment needed and necessary care so they can hopefully be adopted someday. This is a tremendous organization that is well founded and organized. Every penny goes to the care of the animals.

10 years ago my daughter talked me into going to an orientation at All About Equine. I only went to support her. I had no intentions of actually going around horses. By the end of orientation I was so enchanted by the organization nd their mission I was begging to sign up for a shift. 5 years ago I adopted my first AAE horse. When I had a late night emergency with her the director of AAE not only helped me get my girl to the hospital but held my hand through the terrible news of losing her. She continued to support me through that loss and helped heal my heart by encouraging me to try again. I am forever grateful for everything AAE does to help horses and humans in need. Greatest organization ever founded.

I have been volunteering for this organization for 11 years now and seeing these abused animals come in and evolve into healthy and beautiful horses is heartwarming. It’s bittersweet to bring a horse in and get them back to health and seeing them go to their forever home when I adopted. All the time and effort that the AAE Volunteer’s put into the care and healing of these horses is truly a blessing.

Great rescue in our area and they are very community involved!!

Such an amazing nonprofit! This organization rescues horses from some of the most horrific environments. Young horses and foals saved from the slaughter fields. But, not just animals… I have witnessed Veterans projects, special needs kids Smiling, and a teen girl ready to give up hope on her physical illness meeting a horse (Marshmallow) who restored her faith.

I have been a volunteer with All About Equine for close to three years, and adopted an AAE horse this winter. Wendy, the director, was incredibly supportive of myself and her horses as she asked thoughtful questions about my goals and experience before recommending a horse for my family to adopt. She found us a perfect match and we absolutely adore the lovely mare who has become a member of our family. Wendy is always eager to hear stories about how our girl is doing, and to answer questions about her care and training. I am constantly impressed by the dedication and kindness shown by AAE leadership and volunteers. The hard work is a constant, as is the infinite reward of knowing that an animal in need is receiving the care and security required to have a healthy and peaceful life. The horses come from a wide variety of circumstances ranging from owners whose own health makes them unable to provide adequate care, to severe neglect cases. They all find the support they need to build new, trusting relationships with humans and with other horses at AAE.

I am a volunteer at All About Equine. I have been volunteering for a year now and I absolutely love it. It is my dream to have my own rescue one day and I have learned so much from everyone. They are just amazing people. Volunteering has helped me so much when I go I don't think about anything but the horses. It is like a break from all of the stress that life brings. All I have to say is if u want to help out a nonprofit help out AAE they are the best I love all of them to death.

I love working with this organization! The volunteers are very dedicated and everyone is so kind.

I have been volunteering here for 6 years and have never been disappointed with the work and caring of this great rescue.

This is one of the nicest rescues I work at. The owner has a heart of gold and does such a wonderful job taking care of the animals. She works hard to keep the animals happy and healthy

We have been involved with AAE for a number of years after previously working with another horse rescue group. So, we have some basis for comparison of rescue operations. We have been so impressed with the commitment, work and real-life goals of AAE that we have made them one of our biggest donation recipients. AAE not only works hard to care for and train their rescued horses but also finds them good long-term homes. Their ability to find good homes has much to do with the respect they have earned in the horse community. People know that they can trust AAE to give them accurate information about each horse so that good decisions can be made. Many of the AAE volunteers have been there for a decade or more. This length of service only happens when "management" establishes a safe and well-run property. We recommend AAE without reservation.

This organization is one of the most compassionate non-profits I've ever come across. The founder has a heart of gold and i know if she could save all the horses she would. Their volunteers are amazing, dedicated and loving.
AAE deserves all the great things that come their way. Truly.

Caring and Responsible are two important qualities for a successful rescue, AAE has these qualities and more. They work hard and creatively to secure donations & funding so that they can continue to rescue into the future. They train their volunteers to be safe and respectful for the rescued equines and fellow volunteers. They also have a thorough screening process for adoption with a remarkable success rate. I highly recommend AAE as a place to volunteer, adopt, and sponsor.

I used to volunteer with this organization about 10 years ago and I've continued to follow them ever since. They've always done such an amazing job caring for these sweet horses and finding such wonderful forever homes for them.

I've been volunteering at AAE for almost 9 years now and love the interaction with the horses and the wonderful volunteers.

I’ve been a volunteer with AAE for a few years and Have had the opportunity to see what a difference it makes when you care for a neglected horse. The volunteers here are fantastic and the executive director works tirelessly to bring the horses back to health and find good homes for them.

If I had to make one statement describing my experience with All About Equine Animal Rescue, Inc. it would be that the organization’s leadership and volunteers make the welfare of the horses rescued their utmost priority. All horses, including senior horses and horses with challenging medical issues, are thoroughly evaluated and receive the appropriate veterinary care, nutritional diet and rehabilitation/training services needed. AAE has been very successful in finding loving, permanent homes for these horses.

This organization is absolutely phenomenal. The care and dedication everyone has for rehabilitation and rescuing these animals is out of this world. As a volunteer, I’ve seen scarcely feed horses replenish their weight and go on to be adopted by wonderful homes. There’s something so special about being able to impact a life like we do here at AAE.

The hearts of a horse is large, but the hearts of all about equine are larger!

I have been volunteering at AAE for the past few years. I love volunteering here. We help horses who have been abandoned, neglected or surrendered. Everything we do here is for the horses welfare. We care for the horses by cleaning their stalls, feeding them, grooming them and just giving them love on a day to day basis. The goal is to rehabilitate and find them a forever home. Many horses have found loving homes all because of the hard work by the organization and the many volunteers at AAE. It is a great organization!!!

Wendy and her team of dedicated volunteers have helped countless horses from surrenders to neglected situations ect. They do a fabulous job rehabilitating and all of the horses receive any and all medical attention they need. I highly recommend checking out their horses first if you are thinking about adopting.

My daughter and I joined AAE because she loves horses. We aren’t able to get out there often but when we do, we are welcomed like we’ve been every weekend. She loves grooming the horses and watching them rehab and knowing she is helping if only a little. She even enjoys mucking the stalls! AAE is a great place to volunteer and we love the crew.

All About Equine is a lifesaver. Not only for the horses and other animals that have been rescued but for many of its volunteers too. I know I would be in a very unhappy place if I hadn’t found this place a few years ago. I really look forward to my weekly volunteer shift. It’s wonderful to spend time with the horses and help in their healing and rehabilitation and ultimately in the placement in their forever homes. This organization is so well run and it’s main focus above and beyond, is the animals welfare. I love being able to support such a great organization.

I love this group of people and the horses they care for. I started volunteering here in June and found everyone who volunteers here is hardworking, caring and kind. They love all the horses and work hard to ensure each horse gets the best care possible. Of special mention is Wendy who oversees all care and treatment of these beautiful animals. She seems to have endless energy and checks on all horses making sure they are getting the best care possible. There has never been a day I have been there where I haven’t seen Wendy at the barn overseeing the horses’ care and treatment. I’m so happy to be associated with this nonprofit and can’t say enough good things about it.

My story is too long to tell. What I will say is that this organization is operating with the integrity any rescue should be led. It is spearheaded by individuals with the wellbeing of animal and human alike. I have the utmost respect and gratitude for this organization.

AAE really cares about the wellbeing of the animals and the funds are used appropriately and the volunteers are dedicated and loyal to this amazing cause.

AAE is one of the best Equine resques that I know! Wendy her self does a Great job with every animal that comes in to her care. Without her and her volunteers who knows what would happen to those animals. If I get another horse I will adopt one from her. They All are seen by a Veteranarian and when adopted out you get the updated information on the horse you adopt. Thank you AAE for all the hard work you you do.

I am a volunteer with AAE and I have nothing but positive things to say about the organization. The horses are beautifully maintained, vet checked, and taken care of impeccably. The people at AAE are very supportive, positive in nature, and understand this is something we all do out of the goodness of our hearts. The organization has been built from a foundation of love.

Great tack store, great work, great rescue for horses in the community!

All About Equine is more than a rescue filled with loving and caring people who work extremely hard to nurture and heal the damaged bodies, minds and spirits of horses. They are a community of wonderful people who show broken and damaged people how to heal their minds and spirits through the transforming power of loving and caring for a horse. Look at the Programs on their website and you find special days for Children, Seniors and Veterans. What you don't see are the people who train and mentor volunteers who are disabled or emotionally damaged or utterly clueless when it pertains to how to care for a horse.
If your thinking "A Horse Rescue should only rescue horses. Why rescue people?" Think about this...Horses are abused and neglected and killed Every Day. By People Who Were ..Never Taught..How to Care About and Care For a Horse.
All About Equine is all about rescuing horses now. And rescuing horses in the future, by teaching people how to love, protect and care for a horse.

I started volunteering with AAE in basic horse care after moving to the area from my lifelong home in Northern Virginia. AAE immediately became a new home, they took my life long love of horses, with interrupted riding experiences and helped me learn about actual horsemanship; with insight into daily needs as well as their approach to medical care. I learned so much during my time there it's hard to express, only a career driven move from the area broke my 3 days a week comittment to time spent - I've been away from daily chores for awhile now and still miss AAE every day. The horses are amazing, the people are amazing. I had some experience with a few rescues, horse and small animal, before I started volunteering here and in comparison this is truly an amazing organization - if you love horses or just love four leggers AAE is a blessing, try it and see!

A barn friend that helps with AAE invited me to attend the fundraiser, Boots and Bling last year, so I bought tickets for husband and self. Just prior to the event a sickly foal was rescued and needed almost hourly care. The event went on, but in the parking lot was a well bedded trailer with the foal, and intravenous taped securely to the neck. Volunteers rotated being with the foal throughout the evening, as well as the many volunteers that manned the stations at the event. For daily care at the property volunteers do all the care on a shift basis. Now there is a used tack store to further expand the ways to raise funding for the rescued horses. I have never seen such dedication to horses as at AAE.

AAE is just overall amazing. I adopted a horse from them 3 years ago and had the best experience going through the adoption process. It is very clear that everyone at AAE loves each and every horse on the property and a lot of effort is put into helping all of the horses.

AAE is an amazing Horse Rescue.
The comunity of volunteers is like a big family for all animals, horses, and humans.
The people working with and for all the horses and farm animals do all they can do.
It is my pleasure and my honor to be part of AAE!

AAE does such incredible work to save horses! It’s a wonderful organization to volunteer for too.

I started volunteering at AAE a couple of months ago. They do amazing work here and help so many horses in unfortunate situations, they nurse them back to good health, acclimate those that are not use to being around people gain their courage and provide a loving touch and kind words to these gentle souls. I am proud to be just a small part of this amazing group of people that so generously give of their time to these beautiful creatures! Please help them continue to do this amazing work!

I have volunteered at AAE for 4 years, and I know that this organization does what it claims. The horses, no matter what the condition, are taken care of with love and care.

No previous horse experience, now after over a year have good friends (two- and four-legged).

AAE helps abused and neglected horses get their lives back. All the volunteers truly care about the horses, and give them lots of love.

I am just awestruck by the abilities and kindenesses of the wonderful people who really ARE All About Equine! I had never heard of this organization before a few years ago when I tried my own hand at horse adoption. Though for me it turned out that my then-current experiences with horses were not honed well enough for me to adopt my first "forever" horse, I had the first-hand experience of visiting AAE and, through thoughtful and patient conversation with Wendy diGiorno, was able to find direction on the path to my first horse. Though I'm still travelling that path, thanks to Wendy and her associate, Sharon, I am fully confident that I'm headed the right way, thanks to that never-to-be-forgotten afternoon for me at AAE. Theirs is an organization which truly takes to heart the specific needs of the individual horses and prospective owners for the best possible "forever" outcome for all concerned. How fortunate for California that AAE is here!

I adopted a wonderful pony from AAE a few years ago. They do a lot of community outreach and education as well as programs for young children. I was impressed with the amount of work they do with the horses. The pens and pastures were clean and in good shape. You could tell the horses were well taken care of and loved the staff and volunteers. They are also great about posting updates on adoptions and rescue efforts. Open, honest people who truly have the animals best interest in mind.

AAE is a wonderful organization that has found homes for dozens of horses in need. My wife has volunteered there for a few years and I enjoy going to the events with her.

As a volunteer at All About Equine I am amazed every day by the horses and wonderful people involved with this rescue. This all-volunteer horse rescue is the real thing and puts the horses first. A very dedicated group of volunteers provides quality care for the horses while enjoying a friendly working environment. Lasting friendships are made here, everyday…equine and human.

I adopted a beautiful horse from AAE. This rescue is exceptional because they take the best care of the horses they take in, spare no expense when it comes to medical care by using a top notch horse clinic in the area, and they are tireless and innovative with their fundraising. They have been very consistent and placed a lot of horses in good homes. I would always go to AAE first if I wanted to get a new horse because you always know exactly what you are getting. They disclose everything about a horse's history, always have the best interest of their horses in mind, and they are 100% dedicated to making a difference.

This is such an amazing non-profit group. The work they do truly makes the world a better place one day at a time. I have been involved for several years now and have seen their work positively affect humans and horses beyond what words can describe. One of the most rewarding experiences has been watching the transformation of mammas and babies rescued from slaughter and through amazing dedication, patience, and love from volunteers seeing those same terrified, battered and essentially wild horses learn to trust humans. Then, in what can only be described as fate, those same horses come full circle to help humans learn to trust, have patience, and put their faith in another animal just as they did. It's truly remarkable to see the journey for both horse and human, and with AAE it is experienced on a daily basis.

Hey, if you don't mind getting dirty, mucking, and spending time with beautiful horses, AAE is the place to be. I had a horse a long time ago. I spent time with her grooming, riding etc. I was in heaven. I loved my little girl named Joy. I wasn't able to get another horse I missed the calmness and love between an animal and her mom (me). Some one told me about this organization that rescues horses and I immediately jumped on the band wagon, called and spoke to Judy to sign up for orientation and have never left. I was volunteering 3 days a week now I'm volunteering 4 days a week I'm on my 4th month. The shift leaders I have worked with Sue, Ashley and Michele are wonderful and full of information.

This is the place to be if you want to be with horses.

I've had an incredible time volunteering here and will continue to do so, I love working with all the horses and the other volunteers - it's truly a one-of-a-kind community that cares about horses and makes a difference.

This is a really great volunteer place. There are really nice horses. These people do great and important work. I love volunteering here. Everyone is so nice.

Four years ago we were looking for another horse. Our others horses had come from another equine nonprofit rescue. We wanted to continue our practice of embracing rescued horses. Since the last nonprofit rescue proved to be lacking ethical standards, we continued our search. Finding All About Equine Animal Rescue (AAE) turned out to be a true blessing. The director was very open with us regarding the nonprofit. We were able to obtain all information regarding their board, finances, veterinary services, etc. We were amazed at the transparency of AAE. After finding our wonderful horse, we felt so at ease to continue donation regularly. We also help financially with their fundraisers, medical issues, and general care. Two years ago we were able to find another horse from this organization. We feel blessed to know the honorable and virtuous nature of the rescue and its director. They have an all volunteer group taking care of the horses, each having such dedication to the cause.

When I first learned about All About Equine rescue I knew nothing about the terrible things done to horses. I myself am not a horse person so I asked what I could do to help out to save horses. The founder Wendy is just a friend and explained that they need all kids of volunteers. I decided that since I had a pickup Maybe I could help with picking up donations. Well that soon turned into making weekly runs to the feed store for Hay.55 gallon barrels of feed along with many other things needed. I have since moved away from the area but I do miss helping such a great cause. I miss all the volunteers who were always there to help me unload what ever I brought back to the rescue. Dave was the best of all and he always laughed at how I unloaded the hay, but was always there to bring the bales to the back of my truck. Is there a better rescue in the area. Not at all. theses people do the very best job possible as far as I am concerned.

This group is top notch, state of the art, natural horsesmanship plus to all who enter. They have a nurturing core group that makes sure all things great and small are taken care of before fostering or adoption.

I love volunteering for this rescue, because they have such wonderful horses and people.

I started volunteering at AAE as way to give back to my community. Little did I know that I would gain so much more than I could ever give. It is a privilege to work beside so many hardworking and dedicated animal lovers. Of course our horses are breathtaking which makes it easy to spend time caring for them until they're matched with their forever home.

Awesome work with rescued equines that have been neglected, abused or rescued from horse slaughter. My favorite horse changed each shift I worked, as each horse had their own special story to share. When one takes the time to listen, the horses have much to share.

All About Equine is an honest, hardworking community of volunteers dedicated to animal rescue. Rain or shine AAE rises.

I love this place. I have volunteered there for almost 2 years now working with the horses and child's program. There is a great sense of community and everyone is on the same page to reach the common goal ... help all who pass thru our doors.

My wife volunteers here regularly and enjoys it immensely. I know that she gains a sense of pride and well being from her time there. I myself have volunteered on occasion, and witnessed firsthand the good that these folks do - both for the animals they care for and the children and adults who donate their time and energy.

All About Equine is a wonderful place to encounter not only the horses and farm animals, but also the warm people that come together to help them. The barn is a great place to watch and aid in the transformation of animals and humans as they learn to feel safe and to work with each other; a truly remarkable place to renew your spirit while giving of yourself.

wonderful place to learn about horses and see the passion put in by this organization. their first priority is the horses, and you can see it everyday when you show up to feed and care for the horses. they are their with a smile and love what they do. it is really an inspiration, every rescue can follow this organizations example.they are simply wonderful people.

I have been volunteering with All About Equine for over 2 years now! There is NOTHING I do not love about the rescue, the volunteers and of course, the animals. Everyone is so willing to educate those around them with what they've found works, what doesn't work. They allow new volunteers to grow in their confidence and to learn how to "read" the animals. I help on the Grants Team and the success and growth that we have seen is beyond measurable. Just this year we were awarded two large grants from the ASPCA because of the amazing work the rescue and it's volunteers do. I can't believe I waited so long to start volunteering. Greatest experiences of my life have happened at AAE!

I've been volunteering a few hours each week for 2 months now and can tell you that this rescue is awesome. Each and every volunteer is dedicated to the cause and have given their all to make sure each animal is well taken care of. Its a pleasure to arrive at this ranch in the morning and see its residents waiting patiently for their feed, the hugs and never ending gestures of love. AAE is the best in Folsom, CA!!

My daughter and I started volunteering and found that it is a wonderful place to work! I love the people and those who run the rescue are kind and caring. It is fun to work there and it provides a level of contentment that is so fulfilling. It helps us as much as we help them!

My experience here has been wonderful. There are many great volunteers out there that are committed to making sure the horses are taken care of, rain or shine. Dave Fulton and Wendy Digiorno are wonderful people who are dedicated to the health and happiness of these horses. There are not words to describe the peaceful feeling I get from working for the horses at AAE. They are a well run facility, everyone there is working toward the same goal - to care for the horses until the right forever home finds them.

I have volunteered at AAE on and off for several years. I believe in what AAE is doing for the horses, saving one life at a time. I have seen changes in scared horses and debilitated horses . I am honored to be a part of such a wonderful organization. I have adopted a horse from AAE and will continue to speak about their efforts whenever I can.

AAE is a wonderful example of how a rescue should be run. Wendy and many other dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to meet or exceed each animal's individual needs. Each animal is genuinely cared for and loved (many for the first time). Once they have been rehabilitated and are strong enough to start their new life, they are lovingly placed in their new home. AAE is a slice of heaven on earth!

Great group...working hard to help the horses of N. Calif. Recommend them often both to those needing help with rescuing and those looking for a horse.

As a former board member of a non-profit horse rescue, I am very impressed with AAE. It is not often that you find an organization that balances both resources and capabilities with the number of animals that they rescue. This is so critical in the success of any non-profit because most keep taking just one more and soon become overwhelmed and fail. Wendy is an amazing and dedicated leader who keeps everything balanced and moving forward. Keep up the excellent work, AAE.

I am a new volunteer to AAE and I am very impressed with the level of organization and attention to detail. The volunteer program is well run and I appreciate being able to show up and know exactly what needs to be done and where i can help. The horses are all well cared for and their individual needs well met. Everyone at AAE is so kind and helpful. Great group of people to be involved with!

I have volunteered at All About Equine Animal Rescue for 5 years. During those 5 years, I've seen over 100 horses be given a second chance to survive and thrive and hopefully, find their forever homes. To date, nearly 75% of the rescued and rehabilitated horses have, indeed, found that opportunity for a new beginning. The many dedicated volunteers are instrumental in the successful adoptions as well as the daily maintenance and care of the young and senior horses who reside at the AAE ranch. Not only is the "hands-on" work rewarding for me but being around so many caring and focused people is down right fun! If you are at a place in your life where you think AAE might be a "fit" for you, please check out this organization: www.allaboutequine.org

Not only will you possibly change the life of a horse, you might change your life, as well :)

I have been volunteering at All About Equine for over a year now and am truly amazed at all the things that have been accomplished. The dedication and professionalism of the group is inspiring. AAE is a great example of what a small but hard working group of people can get done under great leadership. The organization is an excellent example of what a non-profit should be.

By far the most impressive non-profit I've ever had the privilege to support, and I've been involved in animal rescue and education, both local and international, for 11 years. The volunteers are simply amazing, and the organization is beyond impressive. There is a quality to their care that is hard to articulate - however their hard work and success is evident with every horse and every animal that has been blessed to find itself given a 2nd chance by AAE. Organized, professional, and compassion-driven, I could not recommend them more highly.

I came to All About Equine to fulfill my need to be with horses. I soon felt part of a caring community. The first thing that impressed me was how each horse is treated individually according to their health and nutrition needs. I have seen first hand how love and care can turn an animal around. The focus is always the animals first, which leaves volunteers like myself feeling like we really can make a difference.
Then there are the programs for the children, which my grandchildren have benefited from. Kids really do need to see what ranch/farm life is like.
The adoption rate for the horses is also something to be very proud of, and it comes from the dedication of the Director right on down the line to each volunteer.

AAE is by far the most well kept and professional rescue organization that I have ever volunteered for. I have worked with many organizations in Ohio and none of them approach the caliber of care and support of AAE. They not only care for the animals that they receive; They equally care for their volunteers, supporters, and their adopters. AAE is genuinely in the business of creating an organic space based on compassion, patience, and realism.

The care that these horses receive is excellent. Feed times are on a tight schedule, medications and supplements are easily tracked so that all volunteers know which horses are receiving attention for which ailment. There is a log book that all volunteers have access to where we note potential issues, concerns, or general comments on the day at the barn.

In closing, AAE is far more than your average rescue program. There is focus, support, and a genuine lack of ego in this barn. I am proud to say that I have been accepted by the AAE family and look forward to many years of volunteering at their barn.

I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about AAE! Not only do they heal horses, they heal humans. The relationships we build with the horses and our volunteers is a gift. I have bee gone for awhile due to an injury and each week I miss, I miss out o. So much magic. Cannot wait to get back!

Although I have donated to quite a few horse rescues on a regular basis AAE is the only one i do not hesitate to donate to when they ask. This organizations utilization of funds, transparency, and ethical standards are beyond reproach. They should be the model for every equine rescue organization.

I volunteered here as my senior project. I greatly enjoyed every minute of it and had no problem exceeding my hours. Every one is friendly, caring and far more deticated to the life of the animals than I've seen with anyone with anything. Everyone is willing to work no matter what the chore and everyone is also very time efficient. Things get done and its fun with other volunteers and they make it not a chore. Even though my project is over, I can't wait to continue volunteering there. I love this rescue and wish I could be there everyday.

I started volunteering at AAE to learn as much as possible with the intention of adopting. I had no experience with horses aside from a few trail rides in my life, but I have always dreamed of owning my own horse. I was welcomed into the AAE family from the day one and learned so much - so much that I adopted two horses and couldn't be happier to have fulfilled my dream! I have the privilege of seeing their faces every day. What a wonderful organization! They truly care about the horses well-being and finding good homes for them and are very good at it! I wish I had more time to get out there because I love every minute when I do go! I am very thankful for my AAE family! Thank you!

I have volunteered with several other animal welfare organizations in the past 5 years, and I have found AAE to be one of the most well organized and well kept animal welfare organizations that I have had the joy of working for. As a volunteer, I have helped with Pony Pal birthdays that consists of arts and crafts, petting zoos, and occasional riding for children. All of the volunteers at AAE are very polite, hard working, and determined to give the horses and other animals at AAE good lives while the animals are with the organization. All About Equine has one of the best turn around rates of all the equine welfare organizations that I have worked with. All About Equine also has one of the largest support networks that is comprised of individuals who put time and effort into making AAE an organization that is sustainable and welcoming to the El Dorado County community. All About Equine works closely with many of the community organizations, and will continue to expand with programs that will include working with the disabled, abused women, and lessons for children. I would highly recommend individuals to seek out All About Equine for any aspect, from volunteering, sponsoring, fostering, or simply donating because All About Equine has a very friendly, welcoming, and purposeful atmosphere.

My wife and I moved to CA in September of 2012 after retiring, primarily to follow the children. Needing to fill our time we decided that volunteering at an animal rescue would be a wonderful fit as we always had dogs and knew that animal people were usually down to earth. Our first AAE experience was in December of 2009.

We were seduced from day one. The people, the enthusiasm, the personal sacrifice, and the loving that encourages us to find any excuse to visit the AAE property and the wonderful horses as well as other volunteers have made us complete. It's called "All About Equine", but it's so much more. Yes the horses are receiving a benefit, but everyone we encounter in the organization also seem to benefit from the interaction with the horses and the caretakers.

Thanks for rescuing us after we retired.

ALL ABOUT EQUINE HORSE RESCUE changed my own personal life in so many positive ways that I don't know how to put it down in few words. I have always had a very deep passion for horses & all of God's creatures. It's been a calling to me from a very young child to protect & love them. I crossed paths with ALL ABOUT EQUINE HORSE RESCUE in late July 2012 where I became a volunteer & fell in love with this awesome organization and the wonders it does for the horses who otherwise would not be walking this planet as I speak. The horses I worked with were tortured,put through pure hell & some so sick it was literally touch & go, yet others completely untouchable. Through this organization many beautiful horses turned around in health,able trust in man again & found their forever homes. My story really began when I helped along side many other volunteers to rehabilitate two horses that I ended up falling madly in love with & couldn't bear to be with out so I adopted them for myself in Dec 2012... Mr. Tank/OTTB gelding & Miss Star/Arabian mare. Wow, I can't even imagine life with out them & life with out all the wonderful volunteers who have became my friends & dear to my heart. I truly love ALL ABOUT EQUINE ANIMAL RESCUE for who they are ,what they do, and the unwavering passion to see that each & every single horse on that ranch is loved, healed & the ultimate goal of finding each of them a forever loving home to never know abuse or hunger again. Guess I better stop here cause I can blather on & on. GOD BLESS ALL ABOUT EQUINE HORSE RESCUE!!!

There are not enough words to describe the positive and powerful impact All About Equine (AAE) is making in its community, both for horses and humans. In my first year's experience as a volunteer I have learned so much about horses and about myself in the process. I've never owned a horse, nor did I grow up around them, but the opportunities this organization provides its volunteers are to learn, grow, and expand their individual skills all while providing horses with much needed help is to me priceless. As for the horses, I've seen so many that came from horrendous and heart-braking backgrounds that appeared to me unknown until their story was shared with me because of the amount of time of care already provided by AAE. In addition, this organization has some incredibly dedicated and emotionally invested people working its day-to-day operations in what I see to be in a very responsible and compassionate manner. I am truly grateful to be a part of it and looking forward to assisting this organization as it continues to grow in its community and with its programs.

I love AAE!! I came to them about two years ago without any horse knowledge, and they just took me right in. They have taught me so much and I am so thankful for their kindness and their generous hearts. and the horses are amazing! I wish i could volunteer a lot more.

All About Equine is a wonderful place and I'm so thankful for their existence so horses can have second chance, and sometimes a third a fourth. I've seen first hand what a difference AAE makes in the lives of horses and volunteers. There is something magical that happens between a horse and a human when a horse is learning to trust again and it is a beautiful thing to witness. AAE has a wonderful track record of doing what they set out to do and that is finding horses their forever homes. I've worked for other non-profits and they are the real deal and they never stray from their "vision". I have the upmost respect for the founders of this organization who give so tirelessly of their time and resources and strive to keep it going no matter the challenges. This is sacrifice and service at it's best. I am proud to be a part of an outstanding organization full of volunteers who work to make a difference in the lives of horses and though they may not be saving the world, they are making a difference in the life of a horse.

The mission at All About Equine is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome the horses it takes into its care. In the 2 years I have volunteered at AAE I have seen horses recover mentally and physically from unspeakable neglect and abuse. I have seen more than 40 horses find a new life as they are adopted into their forever homes. This organization takes every dollar earned and puts it back into caring for its horses. It is a privilege to be able to volunteer my time at a non profit who puts the animals first and foremost.
