Orange County, CA: Looking for Pipe Panels for Horse Coral

By

We're looking for five 24 ft., three 12 ft. pipes, and one 12 ft. gate for our horse stalls at Hanaeleh. Right now we have two paddocks that are encircled in tape and we were given a grant by Boeing to enclose the paddocks in pipes instead because it's safer. We're looking first to see if there are any used pipes that are available.  We can transport the 12 ft. pipes, but with the 24 ft. pipes we would need to rent a truck, unless transport was available. We're also looking to purchase … [Read more...]

Cricket has a new home!

By

Today we took Cricket to her new home!  Her new horsie mom is our volunteer coordinator Kaitlin, who fell in love with Cricket the minute she saw her cute little face (quite literally- she said she fell in love the minute she saw Cricket without her fly mask!).   They have been getting to know each other for the past several months and work well together. When we first got Cricket, we actually had to walk her to Hanaeleh (luckily she was local!) because she was so vehemently opposed to … [Read more...]

Update: Lexie has a home!

By

We are very pleased to report that Lexie is now at her new home in Menifee, with several horsie friends and a lot of carrots! :) Lexie is a Quarter horse who was taken in as a trade by the owner of a stable in Orange County; when she came up lame, he was going to send her to the auction.  She has an enlarged knee and a clubbed right foot, so her most likely end would have been slaughter.  When Hanaeleh picked up two Arabians a few weeks ago (who were also going to be sent to the auction and … [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...]
