Orange County, CA: 18 y/o Hanoverian Needs Home

By

Wedgewood (Wedgie) is an 18 year-old grey Hanovarian gelding, just over 16.3 hands. Wedgie was trained as a hunter, but also has a strong dressage base. He had a collateral ligament strain interior front left and a bone cyst in the pastern joint on the same side 2 1/2 years ago and was laid up/retired 1 1/2 years ago. He was almost starved to death at the retirement place, so once his owner realized what was happening, he made sure to take him back and rehabilitate him. This was about seven … [Read more...]

Transport Needed: Two Horses from Ridgecrest, CA to Winchester, CA

By

We received a plea for help for two horses (mare and a gelding) who were abandoned at a boarding facility. STAT Rescue offered to take the horses, but they need transport from Ridgecrest, CA (Kern County) to Winchester, CA (Riverside County). The only quote they have to transport is $900, which STAT rescue does not have. They are looking for any angels who might be able to transport and charge less, or even offer to transport for free. If anyone is available to help transport these horses, … [Read more...]

Action Alert- CA Residents, Please Call to Pass AB 1788

By

Dear Hanaeleh Family: I am asking all of our supporters in California to contact their assembly member this week to help pass AB 1788. This is not necessarily horse-related, but it is a very important bill to me. AB 1788 would ban second generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) throughout the state, except for agricultural use or by special permit. SGARs are the most toxic rodent poisons, which contaminate the food chain and poison any predator or scavenger that eats the rodent. The bill … [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...]
