Introducing: Onyx! 22 y/o Thoroughbred Mare

By

We received a call last week from one of our supporters about a Thoroughbred she had tried to get the owner to surrender to us several years ago. Unfortunately, he refused at that time, but this past week he contacted her and told her that he was moving and needed a place for his horse. We made contact, and he told me over the phone that she was a little thin, but that he was riding her consistently. I was hopeful that she just needed a diet more conducive to an older horse. With that in mind, I … [Read more...]

Introducing Devon at Hanaeleh!

By

Last Friday we picked up Devon, a very cute 18 year-old Canadian Thoroughbred.  Devon had hurt his suspensories earlier in the year, and was on stall rest, then ended up contracting EHV at his stable. He was very sick, but his owners were able to take him to the hospital, and after several weeks he looked like he was going to make it. Unfortunately the EHV prevented him from being able to urinate properly, and he was being cathetered twice a day.  His owners were not in a position to be able to … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Brutus’ New Home!

By

We are very pleased to announce that Brutus has found his new home! His new mom, Kelley, is a long-time friend of Hanaeleh. We met Kelley when she was running a private school and her students were coming out to work with horses at Bethany's Gait, when we were sharing the same facility. We lost touch with Kelley, but she came out to our Evening at Hanaeleh event about three years ago. "Scott," she told her now husband, "I am not going there to get a horse. I'm just going there to look at the … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Hope and Grace Practice Real Estate

By

This past weekend Hanaeleh was invited to bring over a few horses to a neighboring facility that was just recently put up for sale. The equestrian property is just around the corner from Hanaeleh, and the agent, Ashlyn Moore, wanted to have some horses in the arena while it was being shown. We thought it would be great to get some more exposure for Hope and Grace, and also to talk with people about Hanaeleh. After our very exhausting workday, Jocelyn and Brandye groomed Hope and Grace and we … [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...]
