Alta Dena: Three Arabians Need Homes ASAP

By

We were contacted by another rescue who is trying to help a woman in Alta Dena. She purchased a property in which a man was keeping three Arabians- two mares and a gelding. The man abandoned the horses on her property and she doesn't know what to do. She called Animal Control but they just said that they would not help her as they were no longer taking horses and they were her problem, which was not very helpful. We don't know anything about these horses other than they need immediate help. … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Haven and Cullen’s New Foster Home

By

This past week we moved Haven and Cullen from their first foster home to their more longer-term foster home. They will stay at this home until June when they go to their forever home with one of our graduates of our veterans EAC program! Before we moved them, however, we had the vet out earlier last week to give them their second set of shots. The vet said that they were looking better and verified that they were in their mid to late 20s. Other than that, she was happy with the progress both … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Cindy Lou and Noelle

By

Our Christmas horses, Cindy Lou and Noelle, are continuing to improve! Cindy Lou is doing great and she was ridden again today for about 20 minutes around the neighborhood, and did so well that she will be up for adoption in a few weeks! We have discovered that Cindy Lou has had some abuse in the past and has a LOT of scar tissue in her mouth from abusive bits, but she does AWESOME in a bitless bridle. She does great following the lead horse, and usually does not want to lead, but this weekend … [Read more...]

Stetson’s Stall: The Wind vs. Tree vs. Shelter

By

Yesterday was an exciting day! We thought we had prepared for the wind- all of the tables were turned over, the chairs were stacked, the trash cans were put away. For the past few months we have been trimming trees and cutting back all dead branches. We were pretty confident that the wind would not be an issue. Of course, as an English teacher I should be circumspect about hubris; pride always goes before a fall. The fall of a tree, that is- one of the trees that was in Stetson's stall was … [Read more...]

Riverside, CA: Two Arabian Horses Need Homes

(photos below) Fancy- 15-16 y/o Mare Fancy is an Arabian mare. She has not been ridden consistently for … [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...]
