Sponsor a Hanaeleh Horse

A Hanaeleh Horse Needs YOU!

We rescue all breeds and ages of horses, and after we rehabilitate them, we work to find them new loving homes. When horses are not adoptable due to severe neglect or abuse, we provide sanctuary for them to live out their days knowing they’ll always be loved and cared for.

Become a monthly sponsor.

Set up your tax-deductible monthly sponsorship today!

Hanaeleh is a 501(c)(3) (Tax ID 20-3255341) non-profit horse rescue operating in Southern California since 2004. We’re a Verified Rescue with Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries and Platinum-Star rated on Guidestar.

We are not funded by anyone except YOU (our awesome supporters).

Your support makes a huge impact – 100% of your donation goes to caring for our horses.

I was found in Watts, emaciated, running in the street. Cars were dodging me and people threw trash at me. I’m living at Hanaeleh now and things are looking up!

sponsor-a-hanaeleh-horse-rescue-orange-county-5

Ulysses – found in a dry riverbed starving by animal control. He was a victim of Charro riding and has permanent neurological issues.

sponsor-a-horse-rescue-orange-county

Venus – rescued August 2018. She was severely neglected and is blind in one eye because of it. She and Noelle live together and are BFFs.

Garnet’s owner was moving for work in August 2021 and couldn’t take her because Garnet had a severe breathing issue. Our vet discovered she needed surgery ASAP. We raised the money we needed and Garnet had surgery in September 2021. Today, she can run without issue and is living her best life.

Andromeda sponsor a horse

Andromeda was rescued from an auction that ships horses to slaughter in November 2022.

Ladybug sponsor a horse

Ladybug was abandoned at a local boarding facility. A kind person was taking care of Ladybug but she needed a safe place to go. So, we welcomed her to Hanaeleh.

Tillie’s owner is dealing with a number of medical issues and was no longer able to care for her horse. She had someone else lined up to care for her, but they ended up selling their property, so Tillie didn’t have anywhere to go.

Gabriel sponsor a horse

Gabriel was adopted, but his owner contacted us this month and said that Gabriel was having issues under saddle and would be happier retired. We always welcome our horses back no matter what.

Star sponsor a horse

Star is an orphan who was rescued in the nick of time from slaughter. We worked with a team of people to rescue her, along with Abe and 4 other babies (who had loving homes waiting for them).

Mr Darcy needed a safe place to call home when his owner could no longer care for him.

Flame’s owner had owned him since he was a baby, but unfortunately was no longer able to care for him.

Freeda (short for Freedom) is a 24 year-old Buckskin Mustang mare. She looks a lot like our resident Mustang, Gypsy. She, too, had been born wild and rounded up by the BLM at three years old.

Frederick was Freeda’s pasture mate and would have been left all alone. His owner was concerned that the separation would have been very hard on him, so we agreed to take him, too!

Your sponsorship will make a difference in a rescued horse’s life!

Along with a photo of your horse you’ll receive updates anytime you wish (just email us!) and our newsletter.

Be sure to let us know which horse you’re sponsoring or if it’s simply a general sponsorship.

Hanaeleh is a non-profit 501(c)(3) horse rescue (Tax ID 20-3255341). Your donation is tax deductible!
