UPDATE: SAFE! Southern California: Paso Fino Mare

By

We are pleased to announce that with our wonderful network, Baronessa's owner has found a good home! She will go live on a ranch with an semi-retired trainer as her own personal horse. Thank you very much to all of those people who helped share her post! Hanaeleh helps to network horses who need homes, free of charge. These horses are offered free to a good home, but an adoption agreement and contract are often suggested. Hanaeleh is not responsible for any of the information provided and … [Read more...]

Holy Jim Fire

By

This afternoon I had an appointment with the vet to see our newest horse. It was about 100 degrees by the time she left, and I was looking forward to a cold shower and maybe- possibly- even a nap. Then I got a text that there was a fire. And I looked up. And there was a fire. It was a large fire. And it was just over the ridge. Our evacuation plan is to get as many trailers to the ranch as possible so we have to make as few trips as possible- and barring that, walk the horses … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Austin Has Been Adopted!

By

We are so happy to announce that Austin was adopted yesterday! We took Austin in last year because he had been abandoned by his owner and suffered a great deal of neglect. He was underweight, had little muscle tone, and had fungus all across his coat and legs. He had been standing in muck for so long that his feet were diseased and infected. In addition, because he had very little human interaction, he would put his ears back and threaten to bite people when they came up to his stall, … [Read more...]

Aggie Gets a New Home!

By

Hanaeleh receives calls every week about a horse who is in need of a home. Although we cannot take in every horse, we do try to network horses as often as possible. We believe that this is a great option for the owners and the horses, as it allows the owners to converse directly, and it is less stressful for the horse, as the horse is not constantly being moved from one stable to another. Last month, we were contacted by a man who knows one of our volunteers, Amy. He had some major health issues … [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...]
