UPDATE: Garnet (October, 2021)

By

Garnet has been out of the hospital for a little over a week, and we had Dr. Fertig come out to determine what our next steps should be. She said that Garnet's wounds look great, and to continue to clean them up as we have been doing. She said that Garnet can have treats now, too, so that has made Garnet a MUCH happier horse!

UPDATE: Sierra (October, 2021)

By

Sierra came to Hanaeleh in August 2021. Those who have followed her story may remember that she was purported to be trained under saddle, but was just a little spooky out on trail. Unfortunately, when we brought her to Hanaeleh, we discovered that this was blatantly untrue- she had no concept of a bridle, a bit, leg pressure, etc. Her "training" seemed to consist of nothing but running her around and hurting her, as she was deathly afraid of ropes and whips. We have spent the past three … [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...]
