Horses and the Rain

By

Winter has finally come to Southern California, and it came with a few back-to-back rainstorms as well as some hail! Thankfully all of the horses have shelters and have been safe and dry. This weekend while we had some sunny days we took advantage of the weather and groomed some of the horses. A few of the horses took advantage of the warmer weather to take a well-deserved nap! … [Read more...]

Lou Dillon Shares Quixote’s Food

By

Lou Dillon loves to eat Quixote's orchard hay- but only if it's Quixote's. If we try to give Lou Dillon orchard, he scoffs at it, and won't eat it- he only wants alfalfa hay. The hay on the other side of the stall is greener?  … [Read more...]

Thank you California Veterinary Supply!

By

We wanted to thank California Veterinary Supply for donating several bottles of joint supplement and vitamins to our rescue! As all of our horses are currently on a joint supplement, that can get to be very expensive, and it was incredibly kind of them to think of us! They have a number of items for all different animals, not just horses: www.calvetsupply.com The joint supplement has a picture of a chestnut Thoroughbred that looks almost like Ruby! We showed her the label, and she said was … [Read more...]

Rain, Wind, Fire, and Rain Again

To say that the past few weeks have been crazy would be an understatement. The weather has been schizophrenic lately, changing from one extreme to another in just a few hours. We had two rainstorms, a Santa Ana event with 60+mph winds and a major fire in the area that ended up burning almost 30,000 acres in just a few weeks. Through all of that and with the help of our volunteers, friends, and a number of very kind people, we did our very best to ensure the horses were safe and … [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...]
