UPDATE: Cody

By

A few months ago, we posted about Cody, a Missouri Foxtrotter who needed a new home. He had bucked off his owner, and she felt that he was no longer safe for her to ride. Cody found a wonderful new home with a woman named Stephanie, who had adopted one of our horses, Montana, a few years ago. Cody has fit in very well with her family, and sent us this update: He is a hilarious character and fits right in with our barn. He is super curious and well behaved. I ponied him all over before riding … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Austin

By

Many of you may remember our sweet boy, Austin, who we rescued last year. When we took him in, Austin had been abandoned by his owner because he was blind in one eye. He was underweight and his hooves were infected with a debilitating hoof bacteria. He still has scars on both hind legs from fungal infections that were not treated.

By

Today was farrier day down at Hanaeleh! Our wonderful farrier, Josh Riley, came down to trim all of our horses.

They still need one or two more trims to be back to normal, but both Hope and Grace now have healthy, normal hooves, and are able to be exercised normally. We have been working both … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Savannah Loves Her New Home!

By

Although we ask that all of our new horse owners give us annual updates on the horses we adopt out to them, we often like to go down to see the horses when it's convenient. Savannah's new owner asked if we would like to go down to see her, and of course we said, "YES!" and headed out to see her this afternoon. We first rescued Savannah in 2014- she had been found starving to death in a paddock up north with a foal at her side. A home was quickly found for her foal, and a wonderfull … [Read more...]
