Hanaeleh Horse Rescue and Advocacy

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

UPDATE: Ulysses

By

Ulysses came to Hanaeleh from Riverside Animal Shelter. He was slated to be put down because he was neurological; he had been severely abused and his abusers had abandoned him in the riverbed to starve to death.  Ulysses was covered in scars across his body, with so much scar tissue on his legs he most likely had several bowed tendons.  He is unable to stand still on three feet (he loses his balance and moves forward), but with daily turnout he has kept his feet trimmed.  One of the … [Read more...]

This Weekend

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

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...]
