Huntington Beach, CA: Appy/POA Gelding Needs Home!

By

Hanaeleh helps to network horses who need homes free of charge. These horses are offered free to a good home, but an adoption agreement and contract are often suggested. Hanaeleh does not know anything beyond what is listed in the post- please contact the owner directly.  Buddy is a 13-15 y/o Appaloosa/POA gelding.  He is about 14.3 hands. Buddy was donated to a therapeutic riding program last year when the owner lost her husband and could not afford him any longer. He has been trained in … [Read more...]

New Roof!

By

One of our metal sheds that houses our saddles has been leaking for the past few years.  We've been putting tarps over the saddles when it rains, but we were lucky enough to have a new roof put on the shed this weekend! Lori's family (father, husband, brother-in-law and nephew) came out on Saturday and built a new frame and a new roof. A big thank you to them for spending their Saturday afternoon engineering the new roof on our shed! … [Read more...]

Mouse Rescue

By

Everyday brings with it new challenges, but today was more than interesting.  I went to feed the chickens today and found a mouse who was stuck in the coop- he got about halfway through the wires and then got stuck! Apparently we are feeding the mice as well as the rest of the animals (the cats and I are going to have a long talk, by the way). I put on a pair of thick leather gloves in case the mouse decided I was a threat, and a few snips of the wire cutters, and the little guy (well, fat … [Read more...]

Happy New Year

By

A very happy new year to all of those individuals who help to support Hanaeleh and the horses.  Over the holiday, I was listening to the song My Dear Acquaintance by Regina Spektor, and was struck by the line, "Happy new year to all that is living." Although we may not see it everyday, we live in a society that accepts violence against both humans and animals alike.  What should be considered the sanctity of life is quantified, giving greater precedence to groups or to classes of living beings. … [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...]
