Hanaeleh Horse Rescue and Advocacy

a non-profit horse rescue working with abandoned, neglected and abused horses. Stop horse slaughter NOW!

Update: Titan (November 2017)

By

Last August we were contacted by our veterinarian, who asked us to take Titan. Titan had torn suspensories on both hind legs. He had a long rehab ahead of him, but after his rehab, he would be sound and rideable. We did take Titan, and were faced with at least six months and potentially a year of needing to be hand walked for 15-20 minutes everyday. It did take about a year before we were able to ride Titan, and another few months beyond that before we were able to trot him under saddle. … [Read more...]

Up for Adoption: Titan

By

We are pleased to announce that Titan is now up for adoption! Titan is a 15 year-old Hanoverian/Irish Sport Horse Warmblood. He came to Hanaeleh because both of his hind suspensories had been torn and his owner did not want to rehab him. It's been almost a year, but he is now cleared for trotting and turn-out, and we have been riding him without issues. Titan is a BIG boy- he's 17 hands and WIDE. Titan can be ridden in walk/trot shows or out on leisurely trail rides (he's happier when he goes … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Titan

By

A few weeks ago we had the veterinarian out to reassess Titan's suspensory tendons. We rescued Titan from his previous owner because his suspensories were torn and he needed a long rehab. It has been six months since we took him in, and he has only been able to walk for about 15-20 minutes per day. We were hoping that the vet would clear Titan to light trotting, but he was concerned that the suspensories were not healed quite enough for trotting yet. What he did suggest, however, was that we … [Read more...]

Introducing Titan!

By

We received word this week from our veterinarian about a horse who was in need of a home, due to a long layup needed. His owner was unable to continue to rehab him, so he needed an immediate home. Titan is a 14 year-old Irish Sport Horse/Hanoverian gelding. He was an eventer in his previous life, although his owner solely rode him in dressage. Titan has a condition called "kissing spine," which causes pain when worked in more strenuous conditions. He is with us, however, because of severe … [Read more...]

Immunovet EQ

By

Hanaeleh participated in a short trial, feeding Immunovet EQ fermented wheat germ extract (FWGE) to six of our horses for 45 days. It comes in a powder form, and was easy to add to their grain. Because it is fermented, it is much more stable than other wheat germ options, and has a longer shelf … [Read More...]

Winds and Fires in Los Angeles

By

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...]
