Hanaeleh is Still Looking for a Permanent Home

By

Hanaeleh has been at our current facility for over 13 years now, and we have spent a lot of money into making the property work for us and the horses. We have put a lot of money into the property, putting in solar panels, lights, water pipes, automatic waterers for all horses, sheds, and pipe corrals and shelters for all of the horses. Although we have a lot invested in the property, the owner is not interested in selling it, so purchasing it is not an option. While we have enjoyed our time … [Read more...]

Spring Means Grass for the Horses!

By

Although the rain has been annoying to say the least, it has come with a lovely side benefit- there is a plethora of fresh grass for the horses to graze on! Things to remember: Spring grass is high in sugar, so it should be fed in limited amounts- usually no more than 20 minutes of grazing per day. Horses who are at risk of founder should have all spring grass clipped around their paddocks so they don't end up foundering. Never feed grass clippings to horses- this can actually kill … [Read more...]

Raven Goes to School

By

We are excited to share that Raven took a field trip last week to visit Canyon High School! Hanaeleh's president, Elizabeth Zarkos, is an English teacher at Canyon, and she wanted to find a way to help introduce horses to the students. A few years ago, Hanaeleh had a grant that allowed us to bring some horses to Canyon to do Socio-Emotional Learning with the students, but that money ran out. We weren't sure how we were going to manage bringing a horse back to the campus. Luckily, Mr. … [Read more...]

RIP Our Sweet Girl, Hope

By

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. Grace sadly passed last year in October, and we were uncertain at the time how Hope would do … [Read More...]

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...]
