2024 Evening at Hanaeleh: Our 20th Anniversary

By

On Saturday, October 19th, we celebrated our 20th anniversary at our annual Evening at Hanaeleh! We haven't had an in-person fundraiser at the ranch in a few years, so this was also a very special event, and we were able to see so many old and new friends! Some of our most loyal volunteers and supporters were able to come out, including the officer who helped rescue Lou Dillon, who came down from Washington with a special "horse-de-vours" basket for our silent auction!

By

Quixote's Obitiuary by Jocelyn Jazwiec, Hanaeleh Vice President The First Day I Met Quixote September 6, 2014: This was the day I first met Quixote, the Andalusian Thoroughbred cross who would become my best buddy.

Help “Gustav” 21 y/o Hanoverian Gelding Find a Home! (Orange CA)

Goose (the owner says she only calls him Gustav when he's naughty) was a show jumper, but bone chips prevent him from being sound for riding. He needs an intermediate or advanced handler, and really just needs a place to safely … [Read more...]

Sad News: RIP Raven

By

Right before the Airport fire and ensuing evacuation, we had another tragedy that hit us: we lost our lovely Friesian, Raven. We have been so overwhelmed with evacuating and then bringing everyone back that we didn't have the time nor the heart to announce her passing. Raven came to Hanaeleh at the end of 2021- she had been sold after she was no longer able to produce any more babies, and she ended up being donated to a lesson program. The only issue was that she wasn't trained to ride! The … [Read more...]
