All About Horses rescue
 
 All About Equine Animal Rescue, Inc. (AAE) is a small volunteer-based, 501(c)(3) non-profit equine rescue and rehabilitation organization in El Dorado Hills, CA. AAE's mission is to rescue and rehabilitate horses that fall victim to inhumane circumstances (i.e., horses that are abused, neglected, abandoned or slaughter-bound), restore them to good health, and find each one a suitable home. Since 2009, more than 90 horses have passed through our barn. While a select few have become residents of the ranch, most have been placed in forever homes with caring adopters whose lives have been enriched by the affection and gratitude that only comes from a rescued animal. You can help AAE in its mission by adopting, fostering, sponsoring, volunteering or donating. Please visit All About Equine Animal Rescue at www.allaboutequine.org, and like us on Facebook.
