Atwater, CA: Two Thoroughbreds Need Home ASAP

By

We were contacted by a woman who is trying to help her friend place her two Thoroughbred horses. The owner is older and unable to care for the horses, and additionally has to move out of state to live with relatives. She is heartbroken to have to leave her horses behind. We have reached out to a number of Thoroughbred rescues, but they are either full or have not bothered to respond to our e-mail, so we are seeing if our network of wonderful supporters might be able to help find a home for these … [Read more...]

Garnet Comes Home: Surgery/Recovery Days Eleven through Seventeen

By

Read about Garnet's previous days in the hospital here. Days Eleven & Twelve: Monday 10/4 and Tuesday 10/5 We spoke with the doctor who said Garnet was healing well, but her breathing was still very labored. While it wasn't as bad as it was before the surgery, it was still obvious that she was not comfortable. She had been on bute as a pain reliever and was not responding well to that medication, so the vet put her on a steroid to help with the swelling in her larynx/surgery site. Day … [Read more...]

RIP Dave Seroski

By

Today we said goodbye to Dave Seroski, a friend and supporter of Hanaeleh. Dave passed away suddenly in his sleep last week. Dave was often at Hanaeleh, making any number of things for the horses: flashing reflectors, hay bags, customized rope halters for all of our new horses, a roof for the ATV, arm guards- whatever we needed, Dave would find a way to make it. Dave was also available anytime we had an emergency at the ranch, whether it was a horse who was cast, a horse who was coliccing, or … [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...]
