Hanaeleh Horse Rescue and Advocacy

a non-profit horse rescue working with abandoned, neglected and abused horses. Stop horse slaughter NOW!

UPDATE: Two Auction Horses, Whiskey and Bella – 3/4 of funds raised!

By

We are so pleased that we have raised almost 3/4 of the total needed to rescue the two horses at auction in just two days! We have been able to pay for the bail for these two horses, and have contacted the hauler to get these two to their new home in Arizona. We have also arranged for a health certificate and Coggins, which the feedlot will help with. The horses no longer go by their lot number, but have been named Whiskey and Bella, and will go to their new home next week! Thank you to all … [Read more...]

SCTR Horses All Have Homes!

By

It's amazing but you all did it- all of the Thoroughbreds at the Southern California Thoroughbred Rescue have homes! When Hanaeleh got the email that all of the Thoroughbreds at SCTR were set to be euthanized by the end of the year when the rescue closed, we knew we needed to help, and we knew that our supporters would step up! Hanaeleh helped to get two of the bonded mares to an AMAZING new home in Washington (pictures here!). We continued to network the rest of the horses, and within a … [Read more...]

URGENT: Two Horses at Auction- Need Funds ASAP!

By

Hanaeleh was made aware of a large group of horses that were dumped at a Texas kill pen. These horses were essentially someone's pets, and when they ran out of money, instead of calling a rescue to place them, they sent all of these horses to potential slaughter. There were so many horses, including babies, who were in danger of being shipped out to slaughter. A local group stepped in and was able to get the slaughter truck postponed (quite literally- it was on the way to pick up the horses), … [Read more...]

One Christmas Miracle Down, Two to Go!

By

UPDATE: All of SCTR's horses have homes! You can read our post here! When Hanaeleh first shared the post that the Southern California Thoroughbred Rescue was closing, one kind family let us know that they had five acres up in Washington state, and that they would like to help. Knowing that the two bonded mares Sassy and Belle would be the most difficult to place, we asked them if they would be willing to take both girls, and they said yes! At that point, we had to try to find a way to … [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...]
