Trabuco Canyon, CA: Delilah- 9 y/o Thoroughbred mare needs home

By

We rescued Delilah when her owner abandoned her at a neighboring facility. She had a nail stuck in her foot from a shoe that had twisted, and had been left in a stall for months. It took several months for us to put weight back on her, and then also to get Delilah pain-free.  She is now able to be ridden, and is a very sweet girl. Delilah is currently being ridden (walk, trot, canter) in the arena, and we have taken her out for a few short trips on trail and the street. She has done great in … [Read more...]

Orange County, CA: Lexie- older QH mare needs home!

By

Lexie is a Quarter horse mare we posted in December. She was going to be sent to the auction, and most likely end up with a killer buyer. A person offered to take Lexie for her lesson program, but her vet said that Lexie would not be able to perform the work required for her program.  Lexie was a trained show horse, and did reining and barrel racing in her younger days. Lexie is very sweet and really likes kids. She is on the smaller size (about 14 hands), but can carry about 150 pounds. She … [Read more...]

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...]
