Rylee’s Journey with DSLD and Recent Improvements

By

A few weeks ago we noticed that Rylee was having some issues and seemed to be uncomfortable and in pain. Rylee is a Peruvian Paso who we rescued in January 2023, and she came to us because she suffers from a congenital issue called Degenerative suspensory ligament desmitis (DSLD), which can cause chronic pain when not managed effectively. We immediately started her on a daily dose of Equioxx and she's been doing fine until recently. We have continued Rylee on a daily Equioxx pill, and few … [Read more...]

Ulysses’ Cellulitis and His Road to Recovery

By

Ulysses has had a few difficult weeks. On Tuesday, April 9th, we received a call from one of our team members, Logan, who told us that Ulysses' leg was swollen, and immediately one of our board members, Eric, went down to see him. Eric determined that Ulysses definitely needed veterinary care and gave him some Banamine to help alleviate his discomfort. It was just about two years ago that Ulysses had a terrible cellulitis infection that was so aggressive we were concerned we would lose him, so … [Read more...]

For Adoption: Star (2 year old Filly)

It is with a heavy heart that we share with you the passing of Hope, our dear little 30 year-old Arabian mare who we rescued along with her best friend, Grace, over six years ago from a neglect situation.

Welcome Mr. Darcy to Hanaeleh! A few months ago we were told about a 9 year-old registered Friesian gelding whose owner wanted to turn him over immediately. We usually network these types of horses, but because of the timing involved, we ended up taking him in at Hanaeleh and named him Mr. Darcy … [Read More...]
