Update: Onyx Gets a Haircut

By

We have had Onyx for about two weeks now. We thought we would give a little update so everyone can keep tabs on our newest princess! WEEK ONE The first week we had her was a little rough: she came to Hanaeleh (a new place) and was put into the quarantine stall; was examined by the vet and had some of her vaccinations as well as her blood pulled; then the farrier came out; plus she was not thrilled with the new diet we had her on. She kept giving me a look every time I came into her stall, … [Read more...]

Update: Jesse is Loving His New Home!

By

Jesse's new mom contacted us the other day and said that Jesse was doing wonderfully in his new home! She said, "I'm totally in love!" She also was able to take his cribbing collar off 100% of the time after the second week because he is in a crib-free stall during the evening, and is out in pasture all day. They get to go out on leisurely trail rides several times during the week, but for the most part he hangs out with his new horsie friends and hanging out in the pasture. It is just the … [Read more...]

Update: Titan Loves His New Home! (and His New Owners Love Him!)

By

We are so happy to report that Titan's owner has told me that Titan is doing so wonderfully in his new home! He has settled in easily into his new home, and is doing so well! His new owners are so in love with him, and he is in a huge paddock where he can wander about all day. They also take him out on trail, and even down to the beach! When his new mom Christy took him out there that day, she said, "We made it to the beach today. Crossed a 100 ft. wooden bridge over water. And he did great. He … [Read more...]

Update: Brutus and His Ball

By

We posted last week that Brutus went to his new home, and we are pleased to say that he is doing so well! He is getting worked regularly, and seems to have settled in quite nicely into his new routine. His new mom Kelley thought he needed a little playtime, so she gave him a yoga ball to play with (he had a ball out at Hanaeleh a few years ago, but he broke it!). She captured this video of him practicing his dribbling skills for next year's world cup. … [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

By

'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...]
