Initially, we used donated tack for handling, evaluating, training, and riding at AAE. As tack donations grew, we began to sell the surplus tack at AAE and on Craigslist to help raise funds for feed, veterinary expenses, and other needs. Over time, our tack inventory grew, and we had occasional tack sales as better ways to raise funds for the horses. As awareness of AAE has grown, so has our tack
donations. We continue to receive some amazing and incredibly generouse tack donations. However, our tack inventory has grown beyond feasible for managing a tack sale. As a result, AAE searched for a retail space for some time. Fortunately, we found an ideal space in Shingle Springs that offer retail space as well as office and warehouse space. Although it's not the most visible location, the store is also in close proximity to Lees' Feed, which makes for an easy horse shopping experience!
