Update: Onyx Gets Her Teeth Floated

By

We've been slowly getting Onyx caught up on all of her vaccinations this past month or so, and today she was healthy enough to get her teeth done! In the horse world, we will "float" the horse's teeth, which is essentially filing down any sharp points and making sure the teeth on the bottom "match" the teeth on the top. In the wild, horses eat for eight hours a day, so they naturally wear their teeth down. In domestic situations, even when we feed them several times a day, their teeth still grow … [Read more...]

Update: Ruby

By

It's been a while since we've posted about our beautiful Ruby! She's turned 17 this year, and is up for adoption! Now that it's summertime and we have more time, we have been longeing Ruby everyday. She has so much energy! Megan loves to longe her, then spend about 15 minutes walking her out under saddle. It's great for Ruby to move off of the leg, practice bending, as well as encourage collection under saddle. We have also started taking Ruby out on the street. She is so great! We have … [Read more...]

Saying Goodbye to Our Sweet Aurora – RIP

By

It is with incredible sadness that we must announce the passing of our dear friend Aurora. She began to experience signs of colic early Saturday morning 7-14-18, when she went down in her stall and refused to get back up. We immediately called the vet and after several minutes she was finally able to get up on her own. The vet gave her a few different types of medication, and for a short time it looked like she was going to make it. Unfortunately, when we went to check on her about an hour … [Read more...]

Norco, CA: Two Arabian Horses Need Homes ASAP!!

I love these girls but know the city may soon tell me I’m over limit. The liver chestnut is 16 and all Arabian. The buckskin is 10 and is half Arab and … [Read more...]

Ollie’s Sinus Infection

By

A few weeks ago we noticed that Ollie had quite a bit of snot coming out of his nose- it was reminiscent of childhood snotty noses and pretty disgusting, to be honest. We wiped the area clean and contacted the vet, who said to put him on some antihistamines for a few days as several horses seemed to … [Read More...]

Venus’ New Shoes

By

Last month we noticed that Venus was beginning to look a little tender-footed. We noticed an indication of an old abscess that had burst and some bruising on her feet. We assumed this was due to walking on the new gravel driveway, so we made sure not to let her walk on it. We also put some boots on … [Read More...]

Santa’s Special Visit to Hanaeleh’s Horses

'Twas the Saturday before Xmas and that means we had our annual Hanaeleh holiday party for all of our volunteers and their families. Javier (our former caretaker who also has a great catering business!) made the yummy food for us, which was wonderful as always! The best part was being able to sit … [Read More...]
