UPDATE: Popcorn

By

We've had Popcorn a few weeks now, and he is doing very well! We put him in a stall next to Quixote, but he began weaving a lot, so we put him into a larger paddock... where he still weaves a lot. Popcorn is in love with Devon, who lives next door, and he will weave even when Devon is standing right next to him. Weaving is when a horse moves his weight from one leg to the other, often moving his head from side-to-side. It stems from boredom and isolation; horses who do not get out of their … [Read more...]

San Diego, CA: 12 y/o Arabian Mare Needs Home

By

We were contacted by a woman who is looking to rehome her 12 year-old Arabian mare. Mera is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations and teeth. She has been used as a trail horse for the past two years, riding in the mountains. Her owner no longer has time to ride her due to health issues, and Mera needs to get out everyday. Mera had a best "horsie" friend for a time when she was in the mountains, but for the most part she does not like other horses close to her. She does not have papers, but … [Read more...]

(Re)introducing: Hershey!

By

Hershey is a bay 25 year-old Appendix (Quarter horse/Thoroughbred cross) who we rescued over a decade ago. He had been a show jumper, but his owner was unable to keep him due to financial issues. We found a wonderful woman named Sara who adopted him and they seemed to be a match made in heaven! Unfortunately, after about a year, Hershey started to come up lame and he was diagnosed with navicular. Although horses with navicular can still be ridden for shorter distances, they should no longer be … [Read more...]

She had good intentions, but has come to … [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...]
