SAFE! Southern California: Looking for Stall for 29 y/o Mare

By

UPDATE: We have received several offers to help Williamette, and we have turned over all options to her owner! At this point I think that she has plenty of different options to help her keep her horse. Thank you so much for everyone who offered to help! :) We were contacted by a woman who is looking for a place to board her mare for a short time until she can find a more permanent place. Williamette is a 29 year-old mare who has been a medical service animal, and is very sweet and easy to … [Read more...]

Raven Goes to School

By

We are excited to share that Raven took a field trip last week to visit Canyon High School! Hanaeleh's president, Elizabeth Zarkos, is an English teacher at Canyon, and she wanted to find a way to help introduce horses to the students. A few years ago, Hanaeleh had a grant that allowed us to bring some horses to Canyon to do Socio-Emotional Learning with the students, but that money ran out. We weren't sure how we were going to manage bringing a horse back to the campus. Luckily, Mr. … [Read more...]

Horses and the Rain

By

This winter has been incredibly frustrating at the ranch. We deal with one winter storm only to be hit a week later by another.

This year has also been unusually COLD, which has meant that we have had to break out more blankets than usual, and we've even had to put two blankets on when it is obvious that the horse is still cold. It is true that usually horses do not need blankets as long … [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...]
