URGENT! 15 y/o Mustang Gelding in Danger- Needs Home ASAP

By

We received a call from a woman in Bakersfield who is desperately trying to find a home for a horse at her stable. He is a 15 year old Mustang gelding, who was caught in the wild when he was just a foal. He was injured during the roundup and has a hip injury.  The people at the stable don't know if he can be ridden, but he is very sweet, has good ground manners, and can be exercised in the arena and round pen. He has a little "hitch" in his gait but it does not seem to stop him from trotting or … [Read more...]

Trabuco Canyon, CA: Two Arabian Mares Need Home

By

You may remember just a few months ago when we rescued Hope and Grace from a neglect situation in Orange County. We are pleased to note that with just some decent farrier and vet care, as well as a lot of food and TLC, both Hope and Grace are up for adoption! We must note that these two mares are very bonded, and their neglect only reinforced their dependence upon one another. We have been working with them to get them more comfortable at being separated, but these two mares will need to be … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Titan’s New Home!

By

We are so pleased to announce that Titan has been adopted! We had several inquiries on our big boy, but we found a wonderful home with a woman and her family down in San Diego. She has had horses in the past, but wanted a schoolmaster who knew his job and would be good for short rides on trail and in the arena. We told them about his previous injuries, and they were not an issue for what they wanted to do with him. The entire family came out to see Titan, and they immediately fell in love! He … [Read more...]

We do not have a new date scheduled for the Hoe Down at this time, so please continue to watch our Facebook and newsletter for … [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...]
