UPDATE: Delilah

By

Delilah is a beautiful grey Thoroughbred who was adopted out several years ago by an incredible woman with a heart of gold! Shortly after she adopted her, Delilah became very sick and was diagnosed with an incredibly rare form of cancer. Almost every grey horse has some sort of melanoma, but they do not affect the lifespan of the horse. In Delilah's case, however, she had a rare case of lymphoma, as well as lesions in her jaw and was even diagnosed with Equine Herpes Virus. When faced with these … [Read more...]

Update: Gypsy

By

Gypsy is a wild Mustang who came to Hanaeleh over a decade ago. After working with her for several years and not finding any decent adoption prospects, Elizabeth finally decided to adopt her. Gypsy seemed unsurprised by this, as she had already declared herself high ruler over all of the Hanaeleh horses. Gypsy continues to rule over all of the horses at Hanaeleh in her usually queenly way. She also seems to rule over the volunteers by refusing to be nice to them unless they give her treats- … [Read more...]

Update: Devon

By

We took Devon in this spring because, while recovering from suspensory issues at his barn, he had been infected with Equine Herpes Virus (EHV) by a visiting show horse. Although the veterinarians were able to save his life, he had a long road ahead of him, and needed a place to recover and possibly retire. His owner was going to another state to go to college, and also was dealing with medical issues. The family offered to help sponsor Devon if he could come to Hanaeleh. When Devon came to … [Read more...]

Update: Jack

By

Jack is a beautiful American Cream Draft who we rescued a few years ago. We adopted him out to a wonderful woman down in San Diego who had a number of draft horses, so she was familiar with his needs. She was beginning a therapy program called BITS Back in the Saddle, and at the time Jack was going to be her family's personal riding horse and would possibly work as a therapy horse as well. After about a year and a half with his new owner, Jack is continuing to do well! His nickname is … [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...]

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...]
