Consider helping this amazing organization!

Good afternoon to all of you.

We are struggling to stay afloat and just tend to the drafts, horses, donkeys and mules in our care that many of you have helped get to our rescue to live for the remainder of their lives.

Just a quick reminder. All donations go 100% to the horses. We all work full time and give all we have.

Unfortunately, donations are non existent. We need your help. There are over 11,000 followers on this page and if each one of you donated just $1 that would sustain their basic care for a few months.

Here is a breakdown of what is spent during the summer months just on basic care.

$1100 needed a month for farrier
$1200 needed a month for feed
$300 for the insurance for the rescue
$500 for fuel for tractor and truck

And these numbers are just hoping we don’t have an emergency vet bill. Which it happens all the time. So with summer being here and hay season here please consider your tax deductible donation to help us continue the rescue.

We have several ways to donate.

*Some things that make Ace Horsemanship stand out*

•Aaryanne was on the Maryland state horse judging team and competed in Kentucky and at quarter horse congress. This background allows her to evaluate the body along with movement and breed characteristics when training your horse.

•Aaryanne competed in the Rescue to Stardom challenge at the PA horse world expo. This competition is where trainers paired with a rescue organization take an untrained horse and in 90 days work to perform Infront of big crowds at the expo for both in hand and saddle work. All of the horses she has trained have been safe and adoptable right after the competition.

•Aaryanne works as Rocky’s Horse Rescue head trainer, helping rehabilitate and retrain many abused, neglected and forgotten horses.

•Aaryanne communicates and keeps in touch with her clients even after the horses go home. Many times a horse comes for training but upon returning home may find that issues resurface which is why she also travels and offers extra coaching calls and much more to best help you get the most out of your money!

•Aaryanne focuses on building a community in the horse industry where she herself was previously told she would never be able to do what she is doing today. She strives for people to be themselves and never give up. She truly invests in each and everyone of her clients in their own unique way.

•Aaryanne works with clients of all ages her youngest client being 6 and her older clients in their 60s and 70s. Age shouldn’t matter in this industry and shouldn’t stop you from achieving your goals. They just might look different in the way you achieve them❤️

Exciting things to come for Ace Horsemanship

So glad to see these horses thriving! I put my heart into these horses, I always miss them when they leave but enjoy getting to see them thrive with their people!

Jessica we can never thank you enough for giving Mouse the bestest home possible. This was a perfect match if I’ve ever seen one.

This mare was semi feral when we received her from Gentle Giants, Mouse was one of the horses that came down off that mountain surrender case.

Our trainer at did an amazing job giving Mouse a solid foundation which will follow her through out her life.

Recently I’ve learned some very valuable lessons.
1. Dress for the job you want: Most would say yes that makes sense however what does that look like for a trainer and how does this help me? Well training attire can differ for different people but for me it’s an outfit that looks and makes me feel professional, for me this is usually properly fit jeans, a buttton down or polo, boots and sometimes a hat. This helps my confidence and allows me to also have more motivation then I might have in a t shirt or sweatpants. So even on days when I don’t see anyone but horses I still dress for the job I want and love.

2. Have the attitude you wanna have:
Do I always enjoy my job? Do I always have confidence? Am I always feeling awake and ready to be pushed around by 1,000 pound animal?
NO!
I love my job but it isn’t always fun and I get scared and loose my confidence just like all of you, and yes I don’t always wake up ready to handle whatever a horse wants to test me with. The biggest difference I can make is to try to have the best attitude I can while doing the hard things. Put a smile on my face when I don’t win or still laugh when a horse isn’t getting it, we just have to keep trying our best. In the end forcing myself to smile, laugh and move on even when days or times don’t feel great end up creating a bigger sense of accomplishment when I come out on the other end.

3. Live to better yourself
Don’t let other people’s views or goals for you turn into your main focus, while it’s nice to make our loved ones proud orr
people we look up to proud we owe it to ourselves to pursue our goals and use discernment for the paths we choose. Be confident in who you are and chase your dreams because you never know who you will inspire or who you might just impress. You might even impress yourself ❤️

Happy late Birthday to Ace! He is now 5 years old and really is becoming such an amazing horse. Thank you Kaylee Oliver for trusting us with his training. He truly is a incredible horse.

05/01/2024

Wanted to make a small post to say thank you to an amazing client and for the trust she has put in me to help and work with her amazing horses. Yesterday Henry went to a much happier place and gets to eat all the grass he wants.
I invest myself into each of my clients and their horses grieving and celebrating with them every step of the way. It can be exhausting and draining but I wouldn’t do it any other way ❤️

Rest in peace Henry ❤️
