Needs
Support for all aspects of horse care. On average, the daily cost for basic care of a typical horse is $5-$10, and it could be more depending on special diets, medications, or other special needs.
The average monthly cost for basic care of a typical horse is roughly $150-$300, which includes costs for feed, hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming. This does not include urgent or emergency care.
Funding for emergency veterinary care helps provide care when its needed most for horses and other equine, such as diagnostics (e.g. bloodwork, radiology, biopsy, etc.), treatment, medications, surgery, or emergency situations for injury or illness. Monthly veterinary services are often $5000 or more, which includes basic care, diagnostics, urgent or emergency care, and other costs including farrier sedation, treatments, castration surgeries, hospital care, and other related services.
Healing Horses Barn at AAE's new location in Pilot Hill for operations and future programs to assure our most fragile equine won't need to endure another cold, wet, muddy winter without adequate protection. We can’t build it without you!
Other improvements for the new property include cross-fencing and shelters for paddock and pasture areas, a quarantine barn, a covered arena, office improvements, and other equipment needs.
