Rescued! Two Weanlings and a Mule!

By

We are so pleased to be able to have a happy ending to the post we put up on Monday about three babies who were at a feedlot on the border. The Backstory Hanaeleh's president Elizabeth happened to be scrolling through Facebook when she saw the post by Auction Horses Rescue. They were trying to network weanlings and yearling horses that had been rounded up from the Navajo reservation. Their mothers had immediately been shipped to slaughter, and the feedlot had been trying to sell off the foals, … [Read more...]

UPDATE: We Did It! SAFE! 3 Baby Foals Due to Be Shipped to Slaughter!

By

UPDATE 4/17/23: We were able to save the babies! One of our previous board members and supporters has offered to quarantine them for 30 days while we get them vetted and continue to network for new homes for them. The black colt was saved separately, so we only had to take the bay filly and the chestnut colt. We were also told of a pony-sized mule who was set to ship to slaughter as well, so we were able to get him safe also! They are scheduled to arrive later this week (Wednesday or … [Read more...]

Horses who are at risk of founder should have all spring grass clipped around their paddocks so they don't end up foundering. Never feed grass clippings to horses- this can actually kill … [Read more...]

Ladybug’s Colic Adventure

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...]
