New Pony at Hanaeleh

By

OMG we have a pony! Zebedee is a little grey 8 year-old Welsh cross pony and he is absolutely adorable. He is staying with us due to overflow from the Sylmar fires, but he is also up for adoption! Zebedee was rescued two years ago from an auction. He had been used by charros for roping/tripping practice, and when his owner took him he had scars on his legs from the ropes. Zebedee still has a fear of ropes that are tossed over his head or neck. His owner spent the past two years trying to get … [Read more...]

Trabuco Canyon, CA: 8 y/o Welsh Pony Needs Home

By

Zebedee is an 8 year-old Welsh-cross pony gelding. He's only 46" (11.2 hands) tall! Hanaeleh rescued Zebedee when he lost his house in the Sylmar fire. His owner rescued him from a low-end auction two years ago. Zebedee had been used by charro riders to practice their roping- when his owner rescued him, he had rope burns across his legs, and he is still shy about ropes coming over his head. NOTE: He would NOT be a good pony for children or a beginner. Zebedee is a smart and sensitive … [Read more...]

Sad News: Las Vegas Shooting and Hanaeleh

By

The mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday night has been devastating to our nation. It has hit especially close to the Hanaeleh family as well; Katie, our volunteer coordinator, notified us that her daughter was shot in the head that fateful night. We are incredibly thankful that Katie's daughter was not killed, and although her condition is guarded, we'll probably not know a lot for several weeks. So far, however, Katie and her family remain positive about her prognosis. We are heartbroken … [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

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...]
