End to Cruelty: Budweiser Promises to Stop Clydesdale Tail Docking

By

We are very pleased to report that Budweiser, home to the famous Clydesdale horses, has promised to stop docking the tails of their horses (Wamsley, 2023). Tail docking can be done either by wrapping the middle of the tail and preventing the blood from getting to the remaining section, thus starving the tissue, or by surgically amputating the tail. Tail docking is inhumane and, besides the pain that it initially causes the horse, can be detrimental to a horse's physical and emotional health … [Read more...]

Yearly Teeth Float for Hanaeleh’s Horses

By

Yearly Dental Check-Up Every year our vet comes out to float all of Hanaeleh's horses teeth. Unlike humans, horses' teeth continue to grow throughout their lifetime. In the wild, horses eat for 10-12 hours a day, so they naturally grind down their teeth. Domesticated horses, however, are fed at intervals, and their teeth can get sharp points. Older horses often have special needs to keep their bite surface flat so they can masticate (chew) their food efficiently. The vet checks for points … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Garnet – Sept 2023

By

Garnet was rescued by Hanaeleh a little over two years ago. Her previous owner was moving out of state, and couldn't afford to take Garnet with her, but wanted to make sure that Garnet got a safe home.

The owner had kept Garnet from doing much more than a walk for the three years she had owned her, as Garnet would start to wheeze and could not get enough air. We tried … [Read more...]

For Adoption: Abe, 3 Yr Old Mule and Starlight, 2 Yr Old Filly

By

Abe and Starlight: The Backstory In April, Hanaeleh posted that we were trying to save two baby foals who were going to be sent to slaughter. Their mothers had already been shipped :-( and these babies had literally hours before they were going to be put on the truck to Mexico (laws state that any horse six months or older can be sent to slaughter). Obviously this is one of the many, many reasons we are pushing for the passage of the SAFE Act. Please send your legislator a letter saying you … [Read more...]

It is with a heavy heart that we share with you the passing of Hope, our dear little 30 year-old Arabian mare who we rescued along with her best friend, Grace, over six years ago from a neglect situation.

Welcome Mr. Darcy! 9 year-old Registered Friesian Gelding

By

Welcome Mr. Darcy to Hanaeleh! A few months ago we were told about a 9 year-old registered Friesian gelding whose owner wanted to turn him over immediately. We usually network these types of horses, but because of the timing involved, we ended up taking him in at Hanaeleh and named him Mr. Darcy … [Read More...]
