Update: SJC, CA: Dallas- Arabian mare who needs home

By

Just a quick update on Dallas- I believe we have found a very good home for her!  She will be at a private residence, and the owner has Arabians and knows how to help supplement their feed, so Dallas should gain her weight back quite quickly! The only issue we have now is in transport- we need to get Dallas from San Juan Capistrano to Modesto, CA.  We can potentially take her up, but if anyone would like to help sponsor her transport, that would be helpful. :) A huge thank you to everyone … [Read more...]

Girl Scout Visit

By

This past weekend we had a very lively troop of Brownie scouts come out to the barn to help!  They painted cavaletti, ensuing in a maelstrom of pink and red and white not only on the cavaletti, but also on the children! In addition to coming out and helping and feeding the horses, the troop also donated two bales of alfalfa hay, two bags of carrots and two bags of apples to the horses!  The horses enjoyed their treats very much- they still have an entire bag of apples left to eat! A big … [Read more...]

She seemed happy and content in her new home, and Mike said that he was having the "time of his life" caring for Savannah.  What a wonderful pair! :) … [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...]
