Dulcinea

By

We picked up Dallas on Saturday afternoon- we are calling her Dulcinea while she is at Hanaeleh as everyone thinks that Dallas is a boy's name. Plus, Arabians believe that they are royalty, so we thought we would give her a princess' name (from Man of La Mancha). She is a very good girl- leads very nicely and hopped right into the trailer! Yay! Dulcinea is in better condition than we had originally thought- she just needs some TLC. Her back has some fungus where the winter coat hasn't been … [Read more...]

Hanaeleh Movie Night- June 15th

Everyone is invited to our Hanaeleh Movie Night on Saturday, June 15th from 7pm-10pm.  We are going to set up a projector in the arena and watch a movie- the first movie of the summer will be either Man from Snowy River or The Black Stallion (or another movie if the consensus so desires).

A big thanks to the advisors of the Mission Viejo Agriculture Program for coming out and shearing them for us- we have learned that there is definitely an art to sheep shearing! :)     … [Read more...]

RIP Our Sweet Girl, Hope

By

It is with a heavy heart that we share with you the passing of Hope, our dear little 30 year-old Arabian mare who we rescued along with her best friend, Grace, over six years ago from a neglect situation. Grace sadly passed last year in October, and we were uncertain at the time how Hope would do … [Read More...]

Welcome Mr. Darcy! 9 year-old Registered Friesian Gelding

By

Welcome Mr. Darcy to Hanaeleh! A few months ago we were told about a 9 year-old registered Friesian gelding whose owner wanted to turn him over immediately. We usually network these types of horses, but because of the timing involved, we ended up taking him in at Hanaeleh and named him Mr. Darcy … [Read More...]
