Orange County, CA: 18 y/o Hanoverian Needs Home

By

Wedgewood (Wedgie) is an 18 year-old grey Hanovarian gelding, just over 16.3 hands. Wedgie was trained as a hunter, but also has a strong dressage base. He had a collateral ligament strain interior front left and a bone cyst in the pastern joint on the same side 2 1/2 years ago and was laid up/retired 1 1/2 years ago. He was almost starved to death at the retirement place, so once his owner realized what was happening, he made sure to take him back and rehabilitate him. This was about seven … [Read more...]

Hanaeleh’s Response to Recent Horse Racing Deaths

By

Recently I read that the FDA has a number of rat feces and spiders that it deems is acceptable to be in my food. The FDA has number that it believes is acceptable to the industry, and I have a number that I believe is acceptable to be in my food. My number is zero. The horseracing industry has a number of horses who die on the track that it deems is acceptable.

Transport Needed: Two Horses from Ridgecrest, CA to Winchester, CA

By

We received a plea for help for two horses (mare and a gelding) who were abandoned at a boarding facility. STAT Rescue offered to take the horses, but they need transport from Ridgecrest, CA (Kern County) to Winchester, CA (Riverside County). The only quote they have to transport is $900, which STAT rescue does not have. They are looking for any angels who might be able to transport and charge less, or even offer to transport for free. If anyone is available to help transport these horses, … [Read more...]

Action Alert- CA Residents, Please Call to Pass AB 1788

By

Dear Hanaeleh Family: I am asking all of our supporters in California to contact their assembly member this week to help pass AB 1788. This is not necessarily horse-related, but it is a very important bill to me. AB 1788 would ban second generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) throughout the state, except for agricultural use or by special permit. SGARs are the most toxic rodent poisons, which contaminate the food chain and poison any predator or scavenger that eats the rodent. The bill … [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...]

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.

Andromeda’s NEW, New Shoes

By

We shared with you a few months ago the story of Andromeda's new wooden shoes. She needed these shoes because she had foundered before she came to Hanaeleh, which was likely one of the reasons she ended up with a killer buyer. Thankfully we were able to rescue Andromeda and she was doing well … [Read More...]
