Introducing: Austin, Our Latest Rescue

By

Hanaeleh is a small rescue, and as a 100% volunteer rescue with a minimal budget, we do our best to help horses in our area as well as those across Southern California. We work to ensure that our neighborhood horses are safe and in good condition, mostly by being available to help those who are finding homes for their horses. Because we are a very small rescue, we have to adopt out a horse before we are able to take another one in. This is due not only to space, but also to our limited … [Read more...]

Doing Just What We Can: Artist Paints Hanaeleh Horses for Charity

By

About a month ago we contacted Tennessee artist, Samantha Sherry, about partnering with us and creating some art inspired by Hanaeleh's rescued horses. Last year we really enjoyed her "100 Horses in 100 Days Challenge" and loved that horses were a regular subject in her art. Not truly knowing what to expect, we humbly asked for whatever she wanted to create or had time for and sent over some photos of our "fan favorite" Hanaeleh horses - Tamahome, Quixote, Rio, Aurora and Gypsy - and the … [Read more...]

Lots of Fun at Hanaeleh 5K “Race for the Horses”

By

We had a great time at our 5K this morning! We had a great group of runners and walkers who participated this chilly Saturday in Rancho Santa Margarita. We had some issues with marking the route and we had some runners go off-course because of it, but otherwise things seemed to go relatively smoothly! We've definitely learned a lot from this experience, and future events will be even better because of it! Click here to see race results! Many thanks to Mike from Pacific Coast Race Timing … [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...]
