RIP Rambo

By

We just got word today that Rambo (Mack K's Rambo), a Tennessee Walking Horse we rescued in 2007 just passed away. He was only 11 days from his 30th birthday. Rambo had been the personal horse of a woman who passed away suddenly in 2007 when her tractor flipped over on top of her, killing her immediately. She left four horses, and her brother who came in to liquidate the estate, was going to have them all put down. We were contacted by a cousin, who was distraught over the idea of this … [Read more...]

Sanger, CA: Yearling Thoroughbred Needs Home

By

We received word that a bay yearling Thoroughbred needs a home. He has some arthritic OCD in his left shoulder, so he will not be able to be raced, but he could still be a fine pleasure horse. He is located at Old English Rancho in Sanger, CA. His owner wants to find a home for him ASAP. We were not given a name for this cute guy, but he was foaled on 2/27/14, and he is a purebred Thoroughbred, registration #1404112. Below is a picture of the horse and some x-rays of his shoulder. To … [Read more...]

Gypsy Goes for a Ride

Nothing groundbreaking here; just a little video for those who don't believe that Gypsy *does* actually allow a human on her back. :) … [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

'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...]
