UPDATE 2022: Lou Dillon

By

The end of February marks three years since Lou Dillon was rescued from the streets of Watts. He was scared and emaciated, and was running around the busy streets during a horrible rainstorm until a kind homeowner finally caught him and called the police. The police came right away, but it took hours for the animal control trailer to get to them, so the police officers had to stand out in the rain that entire time. They bonded with Lou Dillon, and called Hanaeleh to see if we could take him and … [Read more...]

UPDATE 2022: Quixote

By

It seems like just a few months ago that we rescued Quixote, but in reality it will be nine years ago in August, and Quixote will be 23 years old this year! He is showing his age a little- we have him on Legend and Adequan to help keep him feeling spry; his left stifle has a tendency to lock up, and he has some arthritis in his hocks, but he still loves to run and buck and jump straight up into the air when he's playing in the arena! Quixote has three favorite things in the world to do. His … [Read more...]

Help Get Marty to Hanaeleh!

By

Last week we posted about Marty, a 25 y/o Quarter horse gelding who was dumped in an almond grove (you can see his post here). He was starving, and ate almonds to stay alive before a kind woman saw him and rescued him. She has been trying to find someone who will take him, but it is obvious he needs a lot of veterinary care to get healthy, and no one wants to take on that responsibility. We have a stall available and can take Marty, but we need to find a way to get him from Keene, CA to … [Read more...]

UPDATE: SAFE! Orange County, CA: Two Kitties Need Homes ASAP

UPDATE February 12, 2022: Two of Hanaeleh's board members are fostering the kitties and making sure that they are getting the veterinary care they need.

One of our wild horse advocates, Laura Ferejohn, sadly passed away suddenly last week. She worked tirelessly to stop the roundups and to educate people about wild … [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...]

Santa’s Special Visit to Hanaeleh’s Horses

By

'Twas the Saturday before Xmas and that means we had our annual Hanaeleh holiday party for all of our volunteers and their families. 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...]
