RIP Grace

By

We are very saddened to report that we had to make the very difficult decision to help Grace across the Rainbow Bridge. Grace was a lovely little Arabian mare who was in her mid 30s, and unfortunately age and arthritis started to creep up on her, making the past year difficult. This past winter she had lost quite a bit of weight, so we have been trying to continually change her food to find a combination that would help her gain back her weight. She would do poorly, then rally for a few months, … [Read more...]

Yearly Teeth Float for Hanaeleh’s Horses

By

Yearly Dental Check-Up Every year our vet comes out to float all of Hanaeleh's horses teeth. Unlike humans, horses' teeth continue to grow throughout their lifetime. In the wild, horses eat for 10-12 hours a day, so they naturally grind down their teeth. Domesticated horses, however, are fed at intervals, and their teeth can get sharp points. Older horses often have special needs to keep their bite surface flat so they can masticate (chew) their food efficiently. The vet checks for points … [Read more...]

For Adoption: Abe, 3 Yr Old Mule and Starlight, 2 Yr Old Filly

Abe and Starlight: The Backstory In April, Hanaeleh posted that we were trying to save two baby foals who were going to be sent to slaughter.

Obviously this is one of the many, many reasons we are pushing for the passage of the SAFE Act. Please send your legislator a letter saying you … [Read more...]

Misters at Hanaeleh

By

It has been such a horribly hot, humid summer this year, and we have been trying to determine the best way we can keep the horses cool. All of the horses have shelters, and we will rinse them on very hot days (which lately seems to be everyday). For the past two years, we have been searching for someone who would come out to the ranch and install misters, but it has never worked out. We thought about putting the misters up ourselves, but the setups looked very complicated and the entire … [Read more...]

Ladybug’s Colic Adventure

By

While the warm winter days might be a dream for those who enjoy the beach in February, the extreme changes in temperature (80 degrees during the day/40 degrees at night) can be detrimental to horses, as these changes can lead to colic. While we do our best to ensure the horses drink enough water and … [Read More...]

Abe the Mini-Mule’s Happy Update

By

We know everyone is interested in how Abe the mini-Mule is doing. He is fitting in very well at his foster home! He is staying at our former board member's house right now, where his best little girlfriend (who was rescued with him) lives.  We went over to see him while the farrier was out to … [Read More...]

When we see other groups also putting out positive energy and vibes into the universe, we love supporting their … [Read More...]
