UPDATE: Savannah Loves Her New Home!

By

Although we ask that all of our new horse owners give us annual updates on the horses we adopt out to them, we often like to go down to see the horses when it's convenient. Savannah's new owner asked if we would like to go down to see her, and of course we said, "YES!" and headed out to see her this afternoon. We first rescued Savannah in 2014- she had been found starving to death in a paddock up north with a foal at her side. A home was quickly found for her foal, and a wonderfull … [Read more...]

Savannah, Tamahome and Girl Scouts

By

Hanaeleh was invited to present at a local Girl Scout Jamboree in Irvine this month.  The girls learned about feed, tack, parts of the horse and horse behavior. We also taught them how to approach a horse and the girls were able to pet them as well.

Because it is fermented, it is much more stable than other wheat germ options, and has a longer shelf … [Read More...]

L.A. Fires Our hearts have been heavy in watching the destruction of the fires in L.A. and seeing the loss of both property and of life. We know firsthand that evacuations are incredibly frightening and stressful, and the aftermath of an evacuation can be as stressful as the evacuation itself. So … [Read More...]

Andromeda’s NEW, New Shoes

By

We shared with you a few months ago the story of Andromeda's new wooden shoes. She needed these shoes because she had foundered before she came to Hanaeleh, which was likely one of the reasons she ended up with a killer buyer. Thankfully we were able to rescue Andromeda and she was doing well … [Read More...]
