UPDATE- SAFE: Delano, CA: Bay Arab Gelding

By

We were told this morning that this guy has been placed. Thank you everyone! 🙂

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

This older gelding (around 20 years?) was rescued by a woman who fosters dogs in Kern County. He was at the animal shelter in Delano, CA. This shelter is not set up for horses, but it was a case of abuse and he needed a safe place to go. Apparently some kids were abusing him. He had several old wounds and rope burns around his legs. She offered to keep him until a rescue could be found.

He is a small bay gelding, maybe Arab cross? He is very kind and not at all skittish. He would probably make a good kids horse. His hooves were trimmed and the farrier says they look good. He seems to be sound as she hasn’t seen any limping.

He is suffering from severe anorexia. Right now he is eating soggy hay cubes and rice bran pellets 3 times a day with some corn oil to try and get weight on him. He is not healthy enough (weight wise) to have a float done right now. He has been dewormed.

The rescuer received a few donations so that she could buy feed and get his feet and teeth done, but she needs to find a rescue or another individual who has the funds to help rehabilitate this boy.  Unfortunately Hanaeleh is completely full, so we are unable to take him.

For more information on him, please contact Michelle Petty: (661) 428-3503 or mdpetty4@gmail.com.

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

By

'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...]
