San Juan Capistrano, CA: 14 y/o Arabian Mare Needs Home

By

Dallas is a 14 year-old Arabian mare who needs a home ASAP! She has been ridden on trail and western.  Her owner says that she has good ground manners. Dallas has all four shoes (last shod: May 13th). She is NOT up-to-date on her vaccinations and has not had her teeth done in several years.   She needs some weight (she is currently only on alfalfa hay- she would probably do well with a grain supplement).

Memorial Day

By

Hanaeleh would like to recognize the sacrifices that the men and woman of the United States have made in the service of this country.

Dogs have officially served in the military in the United States since 1814 to protect individuals and carry secret communications across enemy lines.  We do not officially know how many dogs have served … [Read more...]

This Weekend

By

We had a busy time out at the ranch this weekend- the horses all received their strangles vaccinations (we try not to give all of the vaccinations at once) so they are set until next year!  The horses kept sneezing and trying to wipe their noses on us so the vet, Sally W. and Elizabeth all received the strangles innoculation by proxy. Saturday was great- the horses all got out and were exercised.  They are looking quite dashing with their summer coats! … [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...]
