RIP Bonnie (Haven)

By

We are very saddened to announce that we have had to euthanize Bonnie (She was originally named Haven, but the volunteers at her foster home had begun calling her "Bonnie" and her friend "Clyde"). She seemed fine in the morning when she was fed, but later that day one of the volunteers realized there was something "off" with her in the arena. Kelley investigated and realized that Bonnie was very unsteady on her hind end, and had difficulty walking. One of our vets was on the property on a … [Read more...]

Thank you: Canyon Feed and Tack

By

We are so very thankful for so many people who help our rescue. We are dependent upon the community to continue to care for our horses and continue our work with equine advocacy. We cannot do this work without our dedicated volunteers and the people and businesses who support us. We have been dependent upon our face-to-face fundraisers as well as our three online fundraisers that we hold throughout the year to raise money for the horses. Unfortunately, we are not able to hold our face-to-face … [Read more...]

Ranch Renovation: Hanaeleh’s Unplanned Rebuilding

By

When Hanaeleh moved to our current facility about 10 years ago, there were a handful of pipes and shelters left on the property from the owner that we were able to utilize. They weren't in the best condition, but they were useable for the time being. Over the years, however, we have been able to change out the older pipes for newer ones. The only exception, however, was the shelter that covered Ulysses', Quixote's and Lou Dillon's stalls. There were two 24' shelters that were joined together, so … [Read more...]

We have had to cancel … [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

'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...]
