Hanaeleh’s Horses Visit the Dentist

By

Why do the horses need to see a dentist? This past week we had the vet come out to float all of the horses' teeth at Hanaeleh. The horses get their teeth floated every year to ensure that they can all eat and masticate their food efficiently so they are getting the nutrients out of their hay. Just like people, who only get a baby and adult set of teeth, horses have both baby teeth and adult teeth. What is different, however, is that horses' teeth continue to grow throughout their lifetime as … [Read more...]

This past week we had expected to welcome Marty, a 25 year-old Quarter horse who was coming from Bakersfield (you can read his original post here).

Apparently TWO vets missed that he was still intact. He is so mellow that no one noticed, we guess? Hanaeleh is not set up to take stallions, however- even if the stallion … [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...]
