Hanaeleh’s Thanksgiving Thank You!

By

This is the season for giving thanks, and Hanaeleh would like to thank everyone for all of your support- it is only through your kindness and generosity that we are able to continue the work of saving the horses. Thank You to Our Volunteers! Our volunteers are the lifeblood of the rescue- they come out every week (sometimes multiple times a week!) and work so very hard! Whether it's cleaning stalls, scrubbing waterers, spreading mulch, or grooming and exercising the horses, we are dependent … [Read more...]

SAFE! Jurupa Valley, CA: 8 y/o Thoroughbred Gelding Needs Home

By

We received word that Eragon has found a new home! Thank you to everyone who helped to share his post! Hanaeleh received a call from a young woman who is trying to find a home for her horse, as she can no longer afford him. His name is Eragon, and he is a very cute dark bay Thoroughbred gelding, who was never raced. He is barefoot and sound to ride, and she has ridden him both English and Western, although he would be considered green broke. For this reason, he would need an intermediate … [Read more...]

Welcome Andromeda, Hanaeleh’s Latest Rescue

By

"Andromeda is in Danger" After we lost Sable in September, we were approached by a friend who works with Auction Horses Rescue (AHR), which rescues horses not only from the auctions, but also directly from the traders who ship horses to states like Washington and Arizona for the purpose of slaughter. We were told about a little mare who might possibly be pregnant, who had been losing weight at the trader's, and was not looking well. She had been sent to auction once with a previous trader … [Read more...]

Hanaeleh Gets a New Arena Sprinkler!

By

This week we purchased a new sprinkler for the arena! This sprinkler will help to keep the dust down and will also help improve the footing in the arena.

Venus Decides it's Best to Avoid the Sprinkler Gypsy isn't too Thrilled with the Sprinkler, Either   Lou Dillon and Quixote First … [Read more...]

Ollie’s Sinus Infection

By

A few weeks ago we noticed that Ollie had quite a bit of snot coming out of his nose- it was reminiscent of childhood snotty noses and pretty disgusting, to be honest. We wiped the area clean and contacted the vet, who said to put him on some antihistamines for a few days as several horses seemed to … [Read More...]

Venus’ New Shoes

By

Last month we noticed that Venus was beginning to look a little tender-footed. We noticed an indication of an old abscess that had burst and some bruising on her feet. We assumed this was due to walking on the new gravel driveway, so we made sure not to let her walk on it. We also put some boots on … [Read More...]

Javier (our former caretaker who also has a great catering business!) made the yummy food for us, which was wonderful as always! The best part was being able to sit … [Read More...]
