Hanaeleh Work Day 3-19-23

By

We had several people come out to our work day on Sunday, and with their help we were able to get a LOT done! First, we put in two yards of gravel and sand underneath Quixote and Lou Dillon's stalls to help level them out and raise them a little. There is an underground spring that will sometimes bubble up after the rain, and while they are on stall mats with shavings, the stalls have gotten a little cattywampus, and our hope too was that we could raise the stalls just above the water table … [Read more...]

Horses and the Rain

By

This winter has been incredibly frustrating at the ranch. We deal with one winter storm only to be hit a week later by another. It's been difficult on both the volunteers as well as the horses, as the mud makes everything more arduous. This year has also been unusually COLD, which has meant that we have had to break out more blankets than usual, and we've even had to put two blankets on when it is obvious that the horse is still cold. It is true that usually horses do not need blankets as long … [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.
