CA: Lexie needs a home!

By

Some of you may remember Lexie, the 14 y/o Quarter horse mare who we rescued in December: http://www.hanaeleh.org/orange-county-ca-qh-mare-needs-home-asap/ Her new owner was hoping to use Lexie in her lesson program, but her vet does not think that Lexie would be able to stay sound enough. She is now looking for a new permanent home for Lexie. Lexie is great with kids, and would be wonderful as a backyard horse.  She would be good to tote children around or as a companion horse. If … [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...]

Ladybug’s Colic Adventure
