Hanaeleh Horse Rescue and Advocacy

a non-profit horse rescue working with abandoned, neglected and abused horses. Stop horse slaughter NOW!

UPDATE: Ruby

By

Ruby has been at Hanaeleh for a few months now, so we thought we'd share about how well she is doing.  We did move her down with Tamahome for a few weeks, but she really did not enjoy being in the lower stall with him, so we moved her back up into a stall next to Ulysses and Rio, and she's much calmer and happier.  In fact, she is quite in love with Ulysses, and calls for him when he is turned out. Horsie love! Ruby has been gaining weight steadily and looks great!  We've had her feet done a … [Read more...]

Update: Sapphire is Back!

By

Sapphire is back at Hanaeleh. Yes, you read that correctly. Last week we drove down to San Diego and picked up Sapphire. Tamahome had to go along for the ride, as Sapphire refuses to load into an empty trailer (she'll get into any trailer as long as another horse is in there, however).  She spent the trailer ride back home making nicker-noises to Tamahome the entire way. Sapphire was adopted out last June to a very loving family down in San Diego. Unfortunately, Sapphire just was not the … [Read more...]

For Adoption: Jack (18 y/o American Creme Draft gelding)

By

Here is the moment many of you have been waiting for.... *drumroll* Jack is now officially up for adoption. PLEASE read the information below, as we give very specific information about him, and the type of owner he needs. Jack is an 18 year-old American Creme Draft gelding. He does not have papers. He is obviously very beautiful, but he needs a VERY assertive handler. We regret to note that we cannot in good faith adopt Jack out to a beginner rider or handler, as he has learned to … [Read more...]

Update: Savannah Has a New Home!

By

We are so thrilled to announce that Savannah was adopted today to a wonderful woman named Sarah Jon. Sarah came out last month a few times to meet Savannah and instantly fell in love with her. They are a great fit. We dropped Savannah off this morning, and were greeted not only by Sarah Jon, who had been up early with anticipation, but also her wonderful fiance and two roommates. Everyone was very happy and excited to have Savannah there. Savannah has a huge barn to live in, with a TON of … [Read more...]

Ollie’s Sinus Infection

By

A few weeks ago we noticed that Ollie had quite a bit of snot coming out of his nose- it was reminiscent of childhood snotty noses and pretty disgusting, to be honest. We wiped the area clean and contacted the vet, who said to put him on some antihistamines for a few days as several horses seemed to … [Read More...]

Venus’ New Shoes

By

Last month we noticed that Venus was beginning to look a little tender-footed. We noticed an indication of an old abscess that had burst and some bruising on her feet. We assumed this was due to walking on the new gravel driveway, so we made sure not to let her walk on it. We also put some boots on … [Read More...]

Santa’s Special Visit to Hanaeleh’s Horses

By

'Twas the Saturday before Xmas and that means we had our annual Hanaeleh holiday party for all of our volunteers and their families. Javier (our former caretaker who also has a great catering business!) made the yummy food for us, which was wonderful as always! The best part was being able to sit … [Read More...]
