Girl Scout Visit

By

This past weekend we had a very lively troop of Brownie scouts come out to the barn to help!  They painted cavaletti, ensuing in a maelstrom of pink and red and white not only on the cavaletti, but also on the children! In addition to coming out and helping and feeding the horses, the troop also donated two bales of alfalfa hay, two bags of carrots and two bags of apples to the horses!  The horses enjoyed their treats very much- they still have an entire bag of apples left to eat! A big … [Read more...]

Lucerne Valley, CA: Missouri Fox Trotter Needs Home

By

The owner rescued this mare from potential slaughter in January and has been doing ground work and ground driving with her. She had about three weeks with a professional trainer. She is about 15 hands, and is around 15-17 y/o.  The owner says that she needs an experienced rider as she has probably had some abuse in her past. She is up-to-date on all of her shots, worming and teeth.  She is sound and broke to ride. The owner has more pictures and some videos. The owner is trying to find a … [Read more...]

Sheepie Update

By

Not much to report on the sheep this week, except for the fact that Magellan has not only developed a taste for the chicken feed, meaning we now have to lock him OUT of the chicken coop, he also got continues to try to eat the horse's grain (which is bad for sheep), resulting in our placing the buckets seemingly too high out of reach. Magellan decided that this was not to be a deterrent, and balanced his head into the bucket, resulting in him teetering precariously on his hind legs with the … [Read more...]

Rescued! Jesse and three other mares!

By

About two weeks ago, Hanaeleh was contacted by a young lady who had rescued a horse that had gone lame.  While meaning well, she did not have experience with rehabilitating horses, and was talked into potentially taking her horse to a "euthanasia clinic."  She reached out to us before having her put down in the hopes that we would hopefully be able to help. Unfortunately, we were not able to get out to see the horse in time, so we put a plea on Facebook and through our rescue contacts in order … [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...]
