Sylmar CA: OTTB Mare Needs Forever Home

By

Thoroughbred mare needs home- please see info below for more information and contact info: Ruby was rescued from an auction in mid-November via Auction Horses Rescue, a group I volunteer for. Ruby was destined for a feedlot on the CA/Mexico border and whatever comes after that. She's been with me since Nov. 15. She's put on weight, muscle and a nice glossy coat since then! Ruby is a rather plain Jane 16h bay Thoroughbred mare with very few markings. (She shows up as a big dark blob in all … [Read more...]

Orange County, CA: Lexie- older QH mare needs home!

By

Lexie is a Quarter horse mare we posted in December. She was going to be sent to the auction, and most likely end up with a killer buyer. A person offered to take Lexie for her lesson program, but her vet said that Lexie would not be able to perform the work required for her program.  Lexie was a trained show horse, and did reining and barrel racing in her younger days. Lexie is very sweet and really likes kids. She is on the smaller size (about 14 hands), but can carry about 150 pounds. She … [Read more...]

CA: Lexie needs a home!

By

Some of you may remember Lexie, the 14 y/o Quarter horse mare who we rescued in December: http://www.hanaeleh.org/orange-county-ca-qh-mare-needs-home-asap/ Her new owner was hoping to use Lexie in her lesson program, but her vet does not think that Lexie would be able to stay sound enough. She is now looking for a new permanent home for Lexie. Lexie is great with kids, and would be wonderful as a backyard horse.  She would be good to tote children around or as a companion horse. If … [Read more...]

Orange County, CA: Looking for Pipe Panels for Horse Coral

By

We're looking for five 24 ft., three 12 ft. pipes, and one 12 ft. gate for our horse stalls at Hanaeleh. Right now we have two paddocks that are encircled in tape and we were given a grant by Boeing to enclose the paddocks in pipes instead because it's safer. We're looking first to see if there are any used pipes that are available.  We can transport the 12 ft. pipes, but with the 24 ft. pipes we would need to rent a truck, unless transport was available. We're also looking to purchase … [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...]
