Hanaeleh’s Horses Visit the Dentist

By

Why do the horses need to see a dentist? This past week we had the vet come out to float all of the horses' teeth at Hanaeleh. The horses get their teeth floated every year to ensure that they can all eat and masticate their food efficiently so they are getting the nutrients out of their hay. Just like people, who only get a baby and adult set of teeth, horses have both baby teeth and adult teeth. What is different, however, is that horses' teeth continue to grow throughout their lifetime as … [Read more...]

UPDATE 2022: Raven

By

Raven is a 16 year-old Friesian mare who came to Hanaeleh a few months ago. She had been given to a trainer as a lesson horse, but unfortunately she isn't trained to ride, and the trainer didn't have time to train her. She wanted to make sure that Raven found a safe home, which is why she came to Hanaeleh. When Raven first came to Hanaeleh, she had very poor ground manners and would crowd the person walking her and even push them over! Thankfully Raven has since learned the concept of … [Read more...]

UPDATE 2022: Sierra

When Sierra came to Hanaeleh, we were told that she was trained to ride and just a little nervous out on trail, but we quickly discovered that not only was she not trained, but that previous trainers had used abusive methods when working with her.

Even after about six months, Sierra still is afraid when being worked in the arena, and will run … [Read more...]

UPDATE 2022: Garnet

By

It's been just about six months since Garnet came to Hanaeleh. We realized very quickly that her breathing issues were serious, and discovered that her larynx was infected and she had almost no airway left to breathe through. We decided to go ahead with surgery to remove part of her larynx so she would have an adequate airway and would be able to live normally. It took about a month of recovery, but since then, Garnet has enjoyed her time running around the arena! She is building up the … [Read more...]

Immunovet EQ

By

Hanaeleh participated in a short trial, feeding Immunovet EQ fermented wheat germ extract (FWGE) to six of our horses for 45 days. It comes in a powder form, and was easy to add to their grain. Because it is fermented, it is much more stable than other wheat germ options, and has a longer shelf … [Read More...]

Winds and Fires in Los Angeles

By

L.A. Fires Our hearts have been heavy in watching the destruction of the fires in L.A. and seeing the loss of both property and of life. We know firsthand that evacuations are incredibly frightening and stressful, and the aftermath of an evacuation can be as stressful as the evacuation itself. So … [Read More...]
