Karli came to AAE after law enforcement intervention/seizure in a neglect case involving 24 horses, which became 25 horses when a colt was born after seizure. We were told law enforcement stepped in when they learned of horses that had been abandoned on a large, remote, high desert property. Law enforcement provided care for the animals from late 2023 until mid-February, when they seized 21. Three additional horses had died, one prior to law enforcement intervention and two shortly thereafter. Another rescue was contacted, and together, we supported this effort. In the end, AAE took in 15 of the horses (pregnant mares, mare/foal pairs, and two young, sickly fillies), and the other rescue took seven horses (two mature stallions and young five stud colts). These are mostly younger Arabian horses. The condition of the horses had improved, overall, since law enforcement stepped in; however, all were in rough shape. Basic care had been neglected for some time. In general, body conditions and hair coats were in poor condition, especially the foals and weanlings that were heavily matted. Hooves were in poor condition with long toes, high heels, splits, cracks, and even one long slipper toe on a young filly. Dental care was needed for the mature horses. Arabian stallions (and potentially mustang stallions) had been running with the mares, so the older fillies and mares are all potentially pregnant. Karli's blood test indicated she is NOT pregnant.

Karli is a very lovely, sensitive lil' 3 year old Arabian filly and a trainer favorite! She was curious, but so timid when she got to AAE. Haltering was difficult for her, but she tried so hard to trust, and she did. Slowly but surely, her confidence has grown, and she's improved so much with haltering and leading. She's good with hoof handling and the farrier, if you take it slow. She's improving every day. Karli is enjoying pasture life with a herd of 10, and she comes to greet you. She's been introduced to a saddle pad and surcingle, but that was difficult for her. She was reactive and still needs to grow some courage before moving forward. She's really a sweet thing with a ton of potential.
