We held our second annual “Evening at Hanaeleh” on September 26th. We enjoyed having people out to see the horses and enjoy a little wine and beer. Part of the evening included a video and a silent auction, which featured a painting by one of our horses, Quixote!
The evening was successful and we raised approximately $1500 for the horses! Many thanks to all of the individuals who worked very hard to help make this event a success, including all of those people who donated items to our silent auction.
We hope everyone had a good time at the event, and expect to see everyone again next year!
