Hanaeleh Says 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...]

Horse Massage

Every month Lisa B. from Five Star Equine, comes out and massages some of the horses. They love it! Lisa makes sure to listen to their needs and helps to work through any of their old injuries.

Garnet’s 7-Week Update

The area around her surgery sites has been healing well and is only a little swollen now, so that unless you looked … [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

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...]
