Trabuco Canyon, CA: 16 y/o Peruvian Paso Gelding Needs Home

By

"Boss" is a 16 year old bay Peruvian Paso gelding who needs a home as soon as possible. His owner is moving and doesn't have the financial means to keep him. She rescued him from a neglect situation for her daughter, but her daughter is afraid of him because he is very shy. Neither the mother nor the daughter can give him the time he needs. Boss was left in a corral for a year, fed very well (alfalfa), and is now overweight. He's currently on a diet (orchard hay), but he still needs to lose … [Read more...]

Need Positive Thoughts for Apollo!

By

As some of you may know, Apollo, who was adopted by Katie and Stephen a few years ago, colicced Saturday morning. It looked like he was doing well, but he took a turn for the worse on Saturday. The vet came out and after working with him for about an  hour, he was hopeful that he would get well, and Apollo's owners stayed with him all night. Sunday morning we ended up having to take Apollo to the hospital as it was clear he was just not getting better. He has been there since, and for some … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Delilah Has Found Her Forever Home!

It's a happy day at Hanaeleh: Delilah has found someone special to adopt her! Michaela is a very sweet woman who was looking for her first horse, and fell in love with Delilah - and we can say that Delilah really seems to love her as well!  Delilah will be going up to Topanga Canyon, where Niko currently lives (one of our previous adoptions), and will be ridden both in the arena and on trail. We're so excited and happy for both Delilah and Michaela. We'll post pictures when we take her up at … [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

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...]
